    Act one scene two started off with a speech by Claudius. Most of his speech was discussed in class where the speech was divided up by thought. I thought it was interesting how most of Claudius’s speech was separated to bring out pity and fear into the audience. Like his first thought was about his brother’s death (pity)‚ another thought was about his succession to the throne‚ and his last thought was about Fortinbras‚ the common enemy they all share and how they must be careful around their enemy

    In Scene I‚ Act I‚ of Romeo and Juliet‚ Romeo bitterly complains to his cousin and friend‚ Benvolio‚ about being “in love” with another girl.

    Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus. What does this scene tell us about Faustus’s state of mind? Pay particular attention to Marlowe’s use of language. The passage is written in blank verse throughout using iambic pentameter.– The most typical form of writing from the 16th Century poets.

His lack of self-confidence is apparent from the first two lines ‘Now‚ Faustus‚ must thou

    Dr Faustus and Seven Sins Dr Faustus is a short play written by Christopher Marlowe. The play is a masterful insight into the paradoxical soul of mankind and its ironically self inflicted corruption. The play could be classification as a theological allegory. It can be assumed that the play specifically speaks to the religious motivations of the time‚ but can be adapted to the present as well. Marlowe portrays Faustus ’ ambition as dangerous; it was the cause of his demise. Perhaps Marlowe
