Task on Doctor Faustus. Here is my answers.
1) The play directed by Matthew Dunster for Globe theatre ends with this scene (see the image of Lucifer). What does it signify?
1-When Dr. Faustus repenting from the depth of his heart...we can say that the tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives it means at the end of play Dr. Faustus realized that he chose a wrong path and at the end by his grief he indirectly dies inside and because of that fall of Dr. Faustus, Lucifer feel his great tripumphal against him. Thus,here the last scene of Lucifer signifies his great triumphal
.
2) Is God present in the play? If yes, where and how? If No, why?
No there is no god in the play. Because God gives us multiple choices and then rest on us that weather we choose good or bad way for our aim. And we have to ready whatever results it may has. In the play Dr.Faustus chose his own way of getting knowledge and fame. Of course God gives him some sign by sending the old man. But again choice rest on Faustus.
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?
3-Greek myth of Icarus,a son whose father Daeduls give wings to him.wings which is Made by besswex but Icarus forget that truth ND flew closer and closer to the sun and cause of it his wings melt and he fall down on earth and died. Similarly here Dr Faustus d
Fall down from his higher position of knowledge.Lust for knowledge is good at Some level but cross the limitations it is bad... Thus we can say that this image of falling of Icarus shows the central theme of same falling of Dr. Faustus .
