Doctor Faustus as a man of the Renaissance

Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was a well-educated scholar and one of the University
Wits who comes in second and closing years of the century. His play Tamburlaine the great,
Doctor Faustus and the Jew of Malta, Edward the second and part of the massacre of Paris
and the tragedy Dido, Queen of Carthage. He is the most talented playwright and
Shakespeare is a visible and distinctive member of the group. His hero, Doctor Faustus is
really representative of the Renaissance spirit.
First we need to know, "Renaissance" began in England from 1500 to 1600. This period in
English literature is also called Catherine period or age for Shakespeare. Re means again or
enlightenment. This was a reaction to the darkness of the middle ages. He came for the first
time, Italy, France, and then to England. The isolated islands of England came very
unhurriedly Brilliance of the Renaissance. Their main function is humanism, which further
divided personality, thirst of knowledge, power, beauty, etc., mean human concern with
humanism itself as a point of contemplation.
Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe, a masterpiece of work and coming into the realm of
morality plays. It shows the conflict between the traditions of the medieval world and the
world of knowledge. As the drama opens, Doctor Faustus, the most learned German scientist
who discovered the unsatisfied in his knowledge of medicine and theology of Vista. He sees
theology as a boring subject, because he talks about doom and power restrictions. His thirst
for knowledge, and emotional mood of the strength reflected the spirit of the Renaissance.
This thirst for knowledge and power forced him to give his life and to sign a bond for twentyfour years with an agent of satan, Mephistophilis. He makes such bonds to fill the desire of
power, pelf, name and fame, whereas Mephistophilis him will serve twenty-four years and he
will be his mighty God. Really this is abandoning the medieval forms and resolutions to
become strong through Quest mode of magic.
The central element is the thirst of knowledge and power, and which will be sold at the end of
the soul. Doctor Faustus asks Mephistopheles willingly shows astronomy, Faust the secrets of
astronomy, but a question about the creator of peace, Mephistopheles is unwilling to
answer.Mephistophilies tells him about heaven, hell, and Earth. Doctor Faustus has limits and
it dissatisfies them. His pact with Mephistophilis him from God. Indeed, those were issues of
age, giving the hero to find answers for the Christopher Marlowe Mephistophilis.
Relationship to knowledge as a result of Mephistophilis is wrong, because he's got skills,
which she knew.
The second element is the strength in which sells his soul. Mephistophilis of his body and
was with him. The power to fly and request space, etc., he has a lot of the power of
necromancy, and use it in your desires, either in the Voluptuous or trivial things. It is true that
the spirit of the Renaissance. By signing it, the good Angel come Bond and was trying to
divert to God, but he denied it, and did as was his desire. In Rome, he, however,
Mephistophilis, makes fun of Popes and monks. He went into the Germany Court and shows
its power, causing ghost Carlous Emperor Alexander the great. The trick with the Knight by
placing a set of horns on his head, his sales on riding the horse courser, under the condition
that he would not be a horse and his conjuring up to Troy for a few colleagues have shown
that their absolute power.

Individualism is also the dominant spirit of the Renaissance. He is given the importance of
individuality or individual ideas, not the company. Is unique in its decision on the sale of the
soul, and he does not pay any attention to the good Angel, which prohibits him selling his
soul. Mephistophilis is religious garments, but it prohibits. It says that on his page shows your
wish, but not Mephistophilis or Lucifer. Throughout the drama, his personality is dominant.
When Mephistophilis does not answer his questions about the creators of the Earth, he turns
his mind to God and thinks it's too late to repent. Angel recognizes that it is never too late;
Then turns to Christ for mercy that we can't find all the forces imposed on it by some of the
body, but that its decision, proving your identity. Lucifer the other Devils appear and tell him
not to think about God and displays the mask, seven deadly sins-pride, greed, envy, wrath,
Gluttony, Sloth and lust. He was pleased and wants to go to hell. Thus, the role of personality
is dominant.
In Doctor Faustus is a challenge to Christianity through evil. Angel of good and bad Angel to
get to him. It shows the conflict between faith and knowledge, whereas bad Angel insists his
follow necromancy, which is strong and becomes the source of a lot of knowledge. When he
plays tricks with the Pope and the monks, shows the conflict between medieval and
Renaissance themes. Such a conflict is a game, and for such a dispute the old man comes in
his return to God or religion. It really has changed his goal.
In this drama is something very strange is found and can be described as anti-renaissance
elements. It is patent that knowledge and power, he sells his soul to the devil and the audience
may have doomed for purely against religion or Christianity. His antics with the Pope,
monks, Knight and horse courser suggests abuse of power for small things, so he slips, to
some extent, from the purpose. Next to him, he seems to be very insatiable luxury goods and
money.
In the drama, it is clear that, as a result of the knowledge-he turns away from the religion and
not listening to the good Angel. When it comes time to death, flees back to Christianity and
religion. We need to think that a man of the Renaissance, he doesn't endure panic fear of
death, and he wants to hide himself in the sea or in the mountains. It appears that the Doctor
Faustus feels intimidated by his hilarious reaction or religion or Christianity. Christopher
Marlowe turns his hero in Christianity, to save himself from the wrath of the audience. In
drama at one point, the Pope of the monks read the Bible invisible curse, the attacker and
Doctor Faustus and becomes upset Mephistophilis. A panic fear of death can bother a man of
the Renaissance, and is not against God, but he is opposed to those who use religion to their
wishes, so he played tricks with them. He returns to God, but not to religious contractors. He
sold his soul this is a big step for knowledge's sake. Actually broke the monotony or illegal
authorities, imposed on the people of such operators. Also on Christopher Marlowe in his age
and may incur through drama, warns them not to abuse of power; otherwise suffer on the
cross. For this purpose, the hero rejects, religion or faith, medieval thought. This
autobiographical element.
One can't deny the fact that Doctor Faustus is a true man of the Renaissance, and he answers
all queries. Alongside, one does not negate is an anti-renaissance the item that you want to
use for the above purposes discussed.
