Well, the play is replete with the references authenticating it to be a true renaissance play. Dr. Faustus' love for wealth, power, pelf and an epicurean bent of mind were the characteristics of renaissance.

Because of these reasons, although there are many others, the play can always be categorized as play full with the spirit of renaissance.
