In Euripides’ Medea and Christopher Marlowe’s Dr.Faustus both authors used the supernatural elements to serve each tragedy. The differences in the two works are the relationships between the supernatural and the main characters work oppositely and are reciprocal correlations of each other‚ creating different conflicts for the central characters.

Assignment 1. Part 2. Dr Faustus. Dr Faustus for me is beautiful yet sorrowful paly‚ as it uses eloquent language which is romantic‚ dramatic‚ and timeless‚ in the way it is written.

What makes Faustus a tragic figure or hero is that he ultimately brings on his own downfall By being skilled in medicine law and theology he thinks that he is above everyone
