it already begins to establish Faustus’ thirst for knowledge and how this resulted in his tragic downfall. Firstly‚ the Chorus compares Faustus to the Icarus myth “his waxen wings did mount above his reach”‚ which suggests that Faustus’ fixation with necromancy is not a power he is supposed to possess‚ and that his fate will end similarly to Icarus.
