    As in Oedipus Rex, king Oedipus is in a state of choosing between fate & freewill, in Doctor Faustus also, Faustus has his own choice. Though he is seemingly captivated by Lucifer, yet Mephistopheles many a times warns him against a sinful life by describing the terrible outcomes that Faustus has to face in Hell. He utters that where there is a sinful, devilish mind, there is Hell, meaning that Hell is an inner state. This statement of Mephistopheles is obviously an indirect indication which says, still there is time to repent and return.

    If you read certain dialogues between Mephistopheles & Faustus, your idea will be clearer.
