    A Comparison of "Everyman" and Christopher Marlowe’s "Doctor Faustus" Everyman and Doctor Faustus are both Morality Plays‚ these are specifically plays that existed within the Medieval period.

    kind of knowledge. Even the most elementary knowledge that is to say their identity was taken away from them. Why was it so important for slave owners that their slaves should remain ignorant and what strategies did they use to achieve this goal?
