Thinking activity on Doctor Faustus

Q-1
     The play Dr. Faustus directed by matthew Dunster for Global theatre ends with this scene.
               



This is the image of Lucifer with wings and laughing, it's signifyed a lot.                                       
This image is suppose of last scene, when the time limit of twenty four years completed, it's bad time for Doctor Faustus but this same time for      Lucifer is good because of he was going to got a soul of scholar Dr. Faustus. The wings of Lucifer     signified have a power and laughing as a symbole of evil.                                                                                            


                                                                          
Q-2                                                                                
Is God present in the play?  If yes, where and how? If no why?                                                                       

Ans:                                                                                

Yes, God is present in the play, The play is about Christian frame work of the play, one can argue that true greatness can be achieved only with God's blessings. By cutting himself off from the creator of the universe, Faustus is condemned to mediocrity. He has gained the whole world, but he doesn't know what to do with it.                               
                        
When Dr. Faustus took wrong decision the good spirit and old man try to persuade. That good spirit and old man represents as a god. First, there is the idea of sin, which Christianity defines as wits contrary to the will of God. In making a pact with Lucifer, Faustus commits what is in a sense the ultimate sin,  is the disobey God. 

Each time, Faustus decided to remain loyal to hell rather than seek heaven in the Christian frami, this turning away from God condemns him to spend an eternity in hell. Only at the end of his life does Faustus desire to repent and, in the final scene, he cries out to Christ to redeem him.But it is too late for him to repent at last he believes and fevour Of
God.                                                                                


Q-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?                                                                   
     
Ans:3                                                                                       

 
                                                                                                     
       Icarus, Daedalus's son. He was given wings to be able to fly.
   
        At first evening went well, but after a little while Icarus got tired of just flying in a straight line. He began to try to do tricks and going down and down. His father told him to cut it out and behave himst, but Icarus was having too much fun to listen, and he kept on going up, higher and higher, suddenly he realized his wings really were melting!  He tried to go back down again, but it was too late.  His wings came apart, and he fell down, down down into the ocean, where he drowned. Icarus fell into the sea.

        To interpretation and reference of this picture we can said that one who kept going higher and higher but at once he fallen down from that higher place, like Dr. Faustus get knowledge alot but from at higher place of scholar he committed action of sin and at last feel repent and his fallen down from higher .
           

Q-4                                                                           
How do you interpret this painting?         
Ans:                                                                   



     To interpreted this painting, we can say that this picture is about routine life of human being all are busy to their work, farmer is working in his farm, fisherman is to do fishing and shepherd is also busy in his work, apart from these we can also see that one man is fallen down in  the sea, but none of these workers can refeted and pay attention on that scene.                                                                     
That's show that the fallen down of common man is not important in the world and it's ignored in the routine life, but at the same thing happen with higher man it became maga news and everyone considered that incident we can also refered Greek mythology, Icarus succeed in flying, with wings made by his father daedalus  using feathers sesecured with wax. Ignored his father's warning, Icarus chose to fltoo close to the sun ,melting the wax   and fell into the sea and drowned.                 


Q-5                                                                            
Read this article by Bhagat singh. In light of the arguments mode by Bhagat singh in this article, can you re-write last monologue of doctor Faustus?                                                                 

Ans:                                                                         
If,  we  put Bhagat singh in the last monologue of doctor Faustus, instead of the character Dr. Faustus it's because totally different from this text's last monologue, because of Bhagat singh's character is very strong than Dr. Faustus. In last monologue when  Dr. Faustus's time period of twenty four years Is completed only one hour is remain at that time he started  to repent  believed in God ,even he making plans and argue for rescue his soul from hell,  but  If Bhagat singh is that place, his action or reaction totally different because of Bhagat singh is the atheist,  he didn't believe in God. He believes in karma,  when his friends said that"when  time of death is coming you started to believe in God " But Bhagat singh replied very strong against this things .In last monologue when  devil comes for taking soul Bhagat singh didn't behaves like Faustus he gave his soul  without any regretation and sad feeling because of he didn't believe in hell and heaven. He considered it to be an act of degradation and demoralisation  For such petty selfish motives,  he shall never pray.                                                           


Q-6 summarise articlearticles discussed in the class:                                                           

Marlowe and God  tragic theology of Dr. Faustus. 

Myth, psychology and marlowe's Doctor Faustus. 


'Marlowe and God tragic theory of Dr. Faustus ' written by Robert ornstein. "Biographical" Studies of Dr. Faustus were partial and unsatisfactory. In this article he also discuss about two terms one is Artistically theme and other is moral attitude. In Dr. Faustus markedly superior only in the representation as a portrayed in the 1604 Quarto the1616 Quarto adds only the pureling Pope Bruno episodes. In reference to the faustbook. Sure instinct for dramatic design, narrative failing. He discussed tamburlaine's dying fary. Marlowe's free thinking is evident in almost all of his art. 




#Myh,  psychology and marlowe's Doctor faustus. :

This article written by Kenneth L.  Golden. Marlowe's Doctor faustus, the play  solely against its immediate historical background and about the modern condition. Repenting, it seems, does no good.
