The basis for the reflections on the odyssey of the character in "Doktor Faustus" [Doctor Faustus] by Thomas Mann is the belief in the therapeutic function of literature, which has its roots in old myths and stories from heroic times and which feeds on age-old psychological truths about the nature of man. The analysis of the journey undertaken by the main characters together allows to more fully understand the message of the novel as a metaphor of trust put in the nature and reconcilement with the vicissitudes of fate. Moreover, the analysis gives a clearer picture of the allegory of life and friendship as an art of telling a story.
