Write the fourth comeic scene of dr faustus
Answers
This article is the result of a study which consists of the writer’s description of the comic or farcical scenes in Christopher Marlowe’s play “Doctor Faustus”. The comic episodes in dramatic or serious plays perform some definite functions. They provide comic relief, throw additional light on the meaning of the tragic action and present a contrasting point of view. Marlow’s introduction of crude buffoonery in “Doctor Faustus”, which was the common stock-in-trade of the Elizabethan dramatist, and which became the demands of the groundlings, the most important section of the audience in that age, have become an adversely criticism of literary critics. Thus, this article is an attempt to find out the significance of the comic scenes in the play as to see if they perform their functions as expected so that instead of becoming dubious humours which have no relation to the theme, and becoming the defects of the play, they throw additional light on the meaning of the tragic action and are accepted as organic parts of the tragic play.
