Résumé

Résumé : "Doctor Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe is a timeless tragedy that explores the themes of ambition, knowledge, and the consequences of succumbing to temptation. The play follows the story of Dr. Faustus, a brilliant scholar who, dissatisfied with his mortal limitations, makes a pact with the devil in exchange for supernatural powers and knowledge. As Faustus indulges in his newfound abilities, he faces moral dilemmas and wrestles with the consequences of his choices. Marlowe's powerful language and vivid imagery bring to life Faustus's internal struggles and the seductive allure of forbidden knowledge. Through Faustus's tragic journey, Marlowe raises profound questions about the nature of human desire, the pursuit of power, and the price of selling one's soul. "Doctor Faustus" remains a compelling exploration of the human condition, captivating audiences with its enduring relevance and timeless themes.
Biographie : Christopher Marlowe, also known as Kit Marlowe (baptised 26 February 1564 - 30 May 1593), was an English playwright, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era. Marlowe is among the most famous of the Elizabethan playwrights. Based upon the many imitations of his play Tamburlaine, modern scholars consider him to have been the foremost dramatist in London in the years just before his mysterious early death. Some scholars also believe that he greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was baptised in the same year as Marlowe and later succeeded him as the pre-eminent Elizabethan playwright. Marlowe was the first to achieve critical reputation for his use of blank verse, which became the standard for the era. His plays are distinguished by their overreaching protagonists. Themes found within Marlowe's literary works have been noted as humanistic with realistic emotions, which some scholars find difficult to reconcile with Marlowe's anti-intellectualism and his catering to the prurient tastes of his Elizabethan audiences for generous displays of extreme physical violence, cruelty, and bloodshed.
