Ambition can be an amazing driving force that pushes you to accomplish your goals in life. However‚ it can also cause one’s downfall if they choose to ignore their conscience and let their strongest desires cloud their judgment.

What‚ if anything is “moral” about Doctor Faustus Doctor Faustus‚ is a play by Christopher Marlowe first published in 1604. Faustus is a scholar who sells his soul to the devil in order to learn black magic and acquire power.

Assignment 1. Part 2. Dr Faustus. Dr Faustus for me is beautiful yet sorrowful paly‚ as it uses eloquent language which is romantic‚ dramatic‚ and timeless‚ in the way it is written.

What makes Faustus a tragic figure or hero is that he ultimately brings on his own downfall By being skilled in medicine law and theology he thinks that he is above everyone
