Shakespeare uses deception and trickery in The Tempest through Prospero's use of magic to control the other characters and the events of the play. Similarly, in Doctor Faustus, deception is used negatively through Faustus' cruel treatment of the Pope in scenes 3:2 and 3:3. While deception in The Tempest focuses more on achieving positive outcomes through Prospero's plans, deception in Doctor Faustus emphasizes cruelty.
