The Good and Bad angels were an allegory. The aim of the Good Angel is persuade Faustus to repent his sins and return to God, while the Bad Angel persuade Faustus to pursue his curiosity towards magic remaining loyal to the devil. Their symbolisms is that the former represents the desire of Faustus's to repent on his sins while the latter was his want to continue on sinning.
