The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus: Standard Edition
Christopher Marlowe’s The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus is a gripping tale of ambition, hubris, and the eternal consequences of overreaching. This timeless tragedy explores the dark allure of forbidden knowledge and the price of making a deal with the devil.
Description
The play tells the story of Dr. Faustus, a brilliant but arrogant scholar who grows dissatisfied with conventional forms of knowledge. Desiring power and unlimited knowledge, he summons the demon Mephistopheles and makes a pact with Lucifer, trading his soul for 24 years of service and supernatural abilities. Marlowe depicts Faustus’s internal struggle between repentance and the seductive promises of power, highlighting the moral dilemmas and tragic flaws that ultimately lead to his downfall.
Marlowe masterfully combines Renaissance humanism with medieval morality, creating a play that challenges audiences to reflect on ambition, free will, and the dangers of hubris. With its poetic language, dramatic tension, and exploration of existential themes, Dr. Faustus remains one of the most celebrated works of English Renaissance drama.
