Discussion
In a conscious echo of Faustus' story, who advises him that Lucifer came to be in hell because of his ‘aspiring pride and insolence’?
Answer: A
Mephistopheles is the one who, in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, tells Faustus that Lucifer fell because of his aspiring pride and insolence. The question speaks of a conscious echo of Faustus' story, and the speaker is the devil's servant in that play. Umbriel is a gnome in The Rape of the Lock, and a Gnome is a spirit there, so they do not carry the echo. In the conjuring scene Faustus asks Mephistopheles how he can be out of hell, and the spirit replies that this is hell and that Lucifer fell by aspiring pride and insolence, and he then tells Faustus to leave such frivolous demands. This scene is the one echoed in the question.
