The Conflict Between Medieval and Renaissance Values Scholar R.M. Dawkins famously remarked that Doctor Faustus tells “the story of a Renaissance man who had to pay the medieval price for being one.” While slightly simplistic‚ this quotation does get at the heart of one of the play’s central themes: the clash between the medieval world and the world of the emerging Renaissance.
