Dr. Faustus

Dr. faustus :-

  Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe

1) The play directed by Matthew Dunster for Globe theatre ends with this scene (see the image of Lucifer). What does it signify?

Last Scene: Lucifer with wide wings

The play directed by Matthew Dunster for Globe theatre ends with the scene of Lucifer with wide wings signifies the victory of LUCIFER/ EVIL on GOD/GOOD. we can say that Lucifer became more power full after taking a soul of Dr. Faustus. IN the last scene of play when time was 11 and Faustus started repenting because 24 years comes to end now, he prey GOD to save him but GOD was helpless to save Faustus, [I think according to karma; famous philosophy of Hinduism]. conflict between GOOD and EVIL in which EVIL wins and above picture is signifies it.

2) Is God present in the play? If yes, where and how? If No, why?

yes,the God is present in the play.Old man character presents as a God and we can also see that Dr.Faustus is also being like a God.If there is no God,why he being like God..We also find God in many characters like Good angel,old man.In the end Faustus pray to God to save him,so yes God is exist in this play and we also can say that God is everywhere.

3) 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?

Father Daedalus and Son Icarus

 Dr. Faustus' fall was as like as the myth of Icarus he disobeys his father and Dr Faustus disobeyed the nature and his fall was great because the climb was high, it helps us to understand the theme of the play.
