Christopher Marlowe in his most bizarre creation, Dr. Faustus, has blended the genres of Spiritual and Epic writing. Unlike Milton's 'Paradise Lost', this story involves human characters and portrays the scene from the real world. Characterization of Mephostophilis, Beelzebub and Lucifer are framed as the embodiment of pessimistic thoughts that slowly pollute the mind of Dr. Faustus, who is in desperate search of power and authority.

After the decision to sell his soul to the Devil, the entry of the 'good angel' and 'evil angel' suggest the wavering situation Dr.Faustus has put himself in. The good angel asks him to abandon the deal and “think of God, and heavenly things,” but he rebukes the good angel’s words, saying that he’s not loved by God. However, he does not listen and decides to sign the deed, but his blood congeals.

Later, after the deed is signed, Faustus once again hesitates and leans toward remorse as he contemplates the Godly wonders from which he has estranged himself off. The evil and good angels show again, and Faustus realizes that “[m]y heart’s so hardened I cannot repent!”. He then begins to ask Mephastophilis questions about the planets and the heaven. Furthermore, when he asks that who created the world, Mephostophilis departs angrily. Neglected again, Faustus turns his focus to God wondering if he can repent now. At the same time, the two angels appear again, and the good angel tries to help Faustus and asks him to repent. Influenced Faustus begins appealing to Christ for help and mercy, but then Belzebub, Lucifer, and Mephastophilis enter. They tell Faustus to stop thinking of God and reverse the focus of Faustus towards a delusional path.

This suggests that if Dr.Faustus wanted, he would have recovered himself out of the situation of selling his soul to the Devil. But his desperate temptation for power and excellence pulled him into the void that was ruled by the Devil. In my opinion, he could have returned back and embraced the decision suggested by the Good angel for a better life, but our tragic protagonist was fed by his own fire of temptations. The ringing of the good angel's voice also shows a silver lining within the dark cloud, which ultimately was not chosen by the Doctor.

Pl read these paragraphs from the excerpt. every great play teaches many lessons and touches nearly all social problems. but the great play does this by indirection. every beautiful thought is a teacher; every noble line speaks to the brain and heart. beauty, proportion, melody suggest moral beauty, proportion in conduct and melody in life. in a great play the relations of the various characters, their objects, the means adopted for their accomplishment, must suggest, and in a certain sense solve or throw light on many social problems, so that the drama teaches lessons, discusses social problems and gives intellectual pleasure. the stage should not be dogmatic; neither should its object be directly to enforce a moral. the great thing for the drama to do, and the great thing it has done, and is doing, is to cultivate the imagination. this is of the utmost importance. the civilization of man depends upon the development, not only of the intellect, but of the imagination. most crimes of violence are committed by people who are destitute of imagination. people without imagination make most of the cruel and infamous creeds. they were the persecutors and destroyers of their fellow-men. by cultivating the imagination, the stage becomes one of the greatest teachers. it produces the climate in which the better feelings grow; it is the home of the ideal. all beautiful things tend to the civilization of man. the great statues plead for proportion in life, the great symphonies suggest the melody of conduct, and the great plays cultivate the heart and brain. which statement describes how ingersoll uses a literary technique in his response? a-by using symbols, ingersoll explains the role of artistic expression, which engages readers. b- by using a metaphor, ingersoll explains how artistic thoughts address social issues, which clarifies his idea. c- by using allusion, ingersoll emphasizes the continued growth of artistic expression, which is relatable to readers. d- by using alliteration, ingersoll emphasizes the role drama plays in society, which evokes strong emotion.
