Faustus, a tragic or gothic character?

Gothic.
- Sells his soul to the devil.
- Religion (Hell) 
- Horror - scares the pope, many possible scary scenes (depending on how they are presented on stage)
- Arrogant
- Of a high academic status
- Intelligent
- Has a strong passion (for knowledge)


Tragic.
- His hubris is his fatal flaw.


Not sure what other traits are classed as tragic...
