Doctor Faustus in bengali play by Christopher Marlowe summary analysis and full explanation

Описание: Doctor Faustus | Christopher Marlowe | Summary


Christopher Marlowe(1564-1593)is one of the most suggestive figures of the English Renaissance, and the greatest of Shakespeare’s predecessors.

Doctor Faustus certainly qualifies as a tragedy (in fact the full name of the play is The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus) as it incorporates many of the characteristics and qualities of such a work.In the main character we see an individual who falls from a relatively position in society to a far lower position of society as the result of his central flaw.In this case,Doctor Faustus's flaw is that of hubris, or his excessive pride.We see Faustus's excessive pride demonstrated most clearly is his own steadfast belif in his soul's damnation.


  Dr.Faustus Is a tragedy  because the main character falls as a victim of his owncircumstances, and is a victim of himself. He is a man with all the potential and possibilities to be successful. He is a Renaissance man who is versed in every aspect of science, arts, education, philosophy, yet he utliluzes his energy and wit into absolutely nonsense and unnecessary goals, such as his obsession to be a magician, and his ridiculous fixation for power :A power he has no clue what to do with.To make matters worse, his self absorbence led him to make a pact with the devil to obtain that same power he wanted for no factual reason. He did not even know why he did it, in reality.In fact , he did it no solid basis, he obviously began to regret it.

Finally,in keeping with Elizabethan tragic form , Faustus gets himself in so deep,his tragic flaw or error in judgement is so aggregious that it leads ultimately and necessarily to his death,thus fulfilling the fate of an Elizabethan tragic hero.Since Faustus has overestimated what he can attain from an arrangement with Lucifer and since he underestimated the power of Lucifer's evil, his ultimate end must be and is death even though he recognizes his mistakes and pleads for pardon.
