Therefore, they were not equally represented throughout In other words, each soul sometimes dominated some scenes over the other but it was difficulty to quanitfy each soul's representation and knew which soul had the overall domination. This project, therefore, seeks to analyze Faust's actions, thoughts, and wishes throughout Part 1 of Faust, and find which of these souls each act, thought, or wish aligns with.
In order to answer these questions, we used the follwoing technologies xml, schema Relax NG, XSLT, HTML, CSS, and SVG. We tagged Part 1, which includes 26 scenes. We traced Faust's speeches throughout the play and classifies each of his sentences as an either earthily thought, wish, or an action or a divine one. Then, we used XSLT to show the graphs and SVG to show...
