Dr Faustus3
The Comic Scenes of Dr. Faustus When I first began reading Dr. Faustus I did not even realize that there were comic scenes. Only after being told and after watching the movie did I realize that there were comic scenes. Many critics say that Christopher Marlowe did not even write these scenes, but instead say that they were written later by other playwrights. After realizing that there was in fact comedy in the play, I began to ponder why it was in the play. My first thought was that they were there to lighten the mood of such a dark and serious play. Any good playwright knows that you can't hold an audience's attention with hours of serious, deep and emotional content without also having something to lighten the mood. With this point of view I realized that it was very possible that Mr. Marlowe did not in fact write the comic sections of this play (I really wanted to believe that he wrote them), maybe a later playwright found that the play was too serious. The fact that I wanted Marlowe to be the author of the whole play (I don't like it when someone comes along a changes a piece of art, or that people say that someone changed it because it is just too good to be true) made me dig deeper to tr
In the end I did find that the comic scenes in Dr. Within the bowels of these elements, Where we are tortured and remain forever. If everyone that is not in heaven is in hell, then everyone in this play is in hell and has committed some type of sin. After reading through this play and watching the movie, no matter how whacked out it was, I did really like this play. How! A Christian fellow to a dog, or a cat, or a mouse, or a rat? No, no sir, if you turn me into anything let it be in the likeness of a little pretty frisking flea, that I may be here, and there, and every- where. And to conclude, when all the world dissolves, And every creature shall be purified, All places shall be hell that is not heaven. I am like to Ovid's flea, I can creep into every corner of a wench: sometimes like a periwig, I sit upon her brow; or like a fan of feathers, I kiss her lips. Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscribed In one self place; for where we are is hell, And where hell is, there we must ever be. This points out that evil can infect even the lowliest of creatures such as the Clown. In all the scenes that other people tried to conjure up the devil, they could not handle the devils and usually failed in their attempts.
