Dr. Faustus

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

Ans.)  The play directed by Matthew Dunster for globe theater ends with the scene of Lucifer. We can see the power of Lucifer through wings. According to me this image represents Lucifer's successful in his goal. Dr. Faustus died at last. Lucifer celebrated his victory with a wide wings and showed his power.20 and 4 years come to end so Dr. Faustus repenting. We can see here that God failed to save Dr. Faustus. God has no power. So I can say that God is more powerful than God.
       

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

Ans.)  It is difficult for me to say that in this play God is present or not.we can say that God is not physically present in the play. But every time God is remembered by Dr.faustus. In the last scene of the play, Dr.Faustus asking for God's forgiveness. Faustus' despair denies God's mercy. In the final scene, Dr.Faustus cries out to Christ to redeem him. We can say here that God is not physically present here but all time God was remembered.
     

3. Is God present in the play? If yes, where and how? If No, why?

Ans.) This image about the Greek mythological characters. The father Deadalus and his son Icarus. They were in prison. Icarus wanted to fly so his father made waxen wings. But he strictly warned him to not to go beyond limit because these wings made with wax. If he will fly near the sun it will melted and may fall down. But when they were flying Icarus didn't listen to his father's warning and reached at the sun and his wings melted and fall down. So we can compare Dr.Faustus' life with this image. Dr.Faustus wants to become more knowledgable person. So he chooses a wrong path for knowing about knowledge. Lust for knowledge is good but the way is wrong. He cross all the limitations and invites his fall. according to me Dr.Faustus is responsibal for his own fall.
