... His best known plays were Dr.Faustus, Tamburlaine and The Jew of Malta. ...
Dr Faustus, as I have stated, is one of his most famous works. ... Dr Faustus makes a contract with the Devil, which is the ultimate sin since he is acting in contrary with God and his will. ... It challenged the traditional views that had been in place for the past hundreds of years, for example this is shown in Dr Faustus, as he challenges the existence of hell (which at time everyone believed in) and the power of God. Faustus soliloquoy at the start, when he runs through the subjects is an example of self-bettering. Medicine and physics are indeed rooted in traditional thinking, but Marlowe shows Faustus as not content with this, as shown when he pushes them aside, which represents the idea of wanting to challenge the status quo.
