Answer: B. Faustus

Towards the end of the play, Faustus engages in a soliloquy. He reflects on his fate, and on the prospect of eternal suffering, which worries him so much. He pleads with God for a shorter sentence, but already knows this to be in vain. He also regrets his initial dreams and hopes of being more than human, as he wishes now to be a beast with no issue over the destiny of its soul. The soliloquy is meant to reminds us of the dangers of transgression by highlighting the sad destiny of Faustus' soul.
