Dr. Faustus

Dr. Faustus

Christopher Marlowe's heroes are always hungry for more. The same case is with Dr. Faustus also. Marlowe has brilliantly captured the spirit of Renaissance. It was a time when science was becoming dominant than religion.

Dr. Faustus was a scholar from University of Wittenberg. He has acquired all the knowledge available at that time-History, philosophy, medicine, economy, medicine and many more..... but Still HE WAS HUNGRY FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE.

At last he suffers, regrets and dies a tragic death.
