Answers
Answer:
Written by Christopher Marlowe, in the years following 1589 and 1592, the play of Dr. Faustus is a tragedy. It is an Elizabethan Tragedy which is different from other tragedies.
Such tragedies have people of high power as a hero. Though he was a man of knowledge, he was on a quest to take nature in his hands and control it too. Little did he know that he would end up on a catastrophic note.On one side he wished to have name , fame and money.
Second, he wanted to trade his soul,with that of Lucifer. By doing so he would get cosmic powers.
Third, we see him summoning, an evil character Mephistopheles, whose dangerous selfish motives are incomprehensible. He wants the soul, of Dr. Faustus and does not wish good for him and wants him to be un friendly with Lucifer.
Faustus is not a villain initially, his fickle mindedness and greed, makes him a tragic hero, a protagonist whose character flaws lead to his downfall.
Though Good Angels, try to deviate him from doing wrong, his ears cannot hear the voice of the one above.
