- Résumé : "Doctor Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe is a timeless tragedy that explores themes of ambition, knowledge, and the consequences of unchecked desire. Set in 16th-century Germany, the play follows the story of Doctor Faustus, a brilliant scholar who becomes disillusioned with traditional forms of learning and makes a pact with the devil in exchange for limitless knowledge and power. Driven by his insatiable thirst for knowledge and his desire for mastery over the forces of nature, Faustus summons the demon Mephistopheles and agrees to sell his soul to Lucifer in exchange for 24 years of service from Mephistopheles and access to all the knowledge of the universe. However, as Faustus indulges in his newfound powers and pursues his worldly ambitions, he begins to experience doubt, remorse, and ultimately, damnation.
- 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.
