Why Germans scientist‚ engineers and doctors asked to participate in the Holocaust? Why they didn’t opposed Hitler´s policy? Many Germans with professional careers often tried to resist Hitler’s influence‚ but many simply failed to do so. Others were consumed by their fears of death. They thought that if they would try to oppose against Hitler’s policy‚ the Nazis would kill them. I think the same thing happens to Dr. Mengele. He was known as the angel of death on the concentration camps of Auschwitz

ritical Analysis of Doctor Faustus In this essay the critical approach on (Mythological and Archetypal Approach) played a big role in forming my opinion of the signet classic book‚ "Doctor Faustus" It is to my knowledge that mythology does not meet our current standards of factual reality‚ but unlike the 16th century which this play was presented‚ men like Faustus saw myth as fundamental and a dramatic representation of the deepest instinctual life in the universe.

Poetics’‚ stating that a tragic hero will “mistakenly bring on his own downfall”. How do Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus and Shakespeare’s Hamlet characters relate to this? I personally believe that this statement is true‚ as all tragic heroes present to the audience a flaw that they have‚ that will later bring on their downfall. Doctor Faustus and Hamlet are both examples of this. Doctor Faustus is a play by Christopher Marlowe‚ based on the Faust story. It was first published in 1604‚ eleven
