■ The play directed by Matthew Dunsterfor Globe theater ends with this scene (see the image of Lucifer).what does signify ?
The image of prince of hall Lucifer it signify that at the end of the play devil spirit wins and Marlowe portrayed the Lucifer as powerful man because of that he has power to take Dr.faustus in hall. The Dr.faustus also has 'hunger for knowledge' only for that he sighed agreement to sell his soul to Lucifer after 24 year. Therefore at end evil power celebrated victory over the god and good spirit.
Marlowe portrayed the Lucifer as become a evil yet powerful person. In this image also it signify the supremacy of Lucifer over Dr.faustus.
■ Is God present in the play? if yes where and how? If no, why?
Yes ,God present in the play.so many characters are represent the presence of god as good angel ,two scholars, old man and chorus. Here good angel is the voice of god .the good angel also urges the faustus to repent and serves himself to God God. Last old man come try to understand to faustus you are in wrong way and faustus resolution but mephistopheles prevented to do that.
In picture christ cross as a symbol. In we find that presence of god ,of course is symbolizes the holiness and good spirit and faustus believed in the god. Before the deals with mephistopheles he has cross of christ.
■ What reading and interpretation can be given to this image (see the image of daedalus and Icarus) with reference to central theme of the play Dr.faustus.
The picture relates to Greek mythology, icarus succeeds in flying and his father won before to fly that don't fly to high because the wings made from wax and because of sunlight it became melting and icarus ignores his father's warning and he has high ambition of flying because of that fall in to the sea.
Like a same this idea implied in Dr.faustus because after get so many warning by old man,good angel, two scholars yet Dr.faustus choose wrong way to get knowledge and fall like icarus in Play.
■ Read this article by Bhagat Singh. In light of the arguments made by Bhagat Singh in this article can you re- write last monologue of doctor faustus.
The character of Bhagat Singh is totally different from the Dr.faustus because the Dr.faustus at last resolut for the his wrong decision of sing agreement with mephistopheles only because of hunger for knowledge. So in that place if implied Bhagat Singh's character at that time he never pray to God and never repent for what he done. Bhagat Singh also not think as faustus at end time of fall. Therefore he never regret infrante of the God.
● myth, psychology and Marlow Doctor faustus
Renaissance man with his one-sided intellect which values knowledge for the 'technological ' manipulative power of his gives over thinking and other people. Because of his nature and faustus like icarus in the ancient myth. Certainly one way of seeing faustus experiences with figures like mephistophilis ,Lucifer a good and bad angel the mythical ,Helen of troy is as fantacy dramatizing conflicts within his psyche.
The psychological law of embodied in the common dictum "Genius to madness is near allied "Jung found occurring again and again in the sense that the conscious and unconscious element of the psyche exist. Faustus who in one scene as "demi-god".mephistophilis explains hell to be ,as it were,a psychic shadow that goes with the damned soul wherever it goes.
The play's clear emphasis of the presence of these confused attitudes indicates the importance of faustian psychology. Marlowe also successful in portraying psychological situation of faustus. The positive ending of goethe's Faust was not possible in Marlowe's time faustus is in aspects of modern tragedy and his hubris like technological man and devil's have over him psychologically.

■ How do you interpret this painting?
Landscape with the fall of icarus
The picture of landscape with the fall of icarus is a painting by pieter Bruegelthe Elder. It's relates to Greek mythology succeed in flying with wings of by his father Daedalus. His father made wings from the
Beeswax. His father won before the flying that don't fly so high it became dangerous for icarus but only because of his high ambitions of to fly high he ignoring his father's warning and while icarus close to sun at that time beeswax was melting and icarus fall down in the sea.
That situation represents the high ambitions and go beyond from the human limitation and icarus ignores the reality of world. In this image we see the fall down of icarus and his legs seeing the water. The ploughman,shepherd and angler are portrayed in this image but they are busy in his work. Shepherd gazing into the air away from the ship. Here in picture all are pointed out that the ignorance of people to follow men's suffering.
■ summarise article discussed in the class:
●Marlowe and God:Theology of Dr.faustus
Marlowe's plays that resembles the tragic acceptance of other dramatists. The life of Marlowe is piece of orthodox moralisam and love's art of his life. Marlowe's "Atheistic" pronouncements, the godlike and the christlike remain antithetical. We can imagine the Marlowe's art in God other than the deity of 'Tamburlaine'and 'Dr.faustus'.
Faustus claims that his doom was sealed by his blasphemous defines of God. Theology denies no trespass has irrevocable consequences. Who shrinks more from the wrath of God than from the terror of hell. why does not merit God's pity,when the audience is deeply moved, when the old man pities faustus. That Marlowe's God is a deity of power, not love has been suggested by various critics. Faustus asks
"Who made the world "
"Upon God that made the world "
His madel of imitation is the God of force and creative energy whom ' Tamburlaine ' first served and then challenged.
