Christopher Marlowe's heroes are always hungry for more. The
same case is with Dr. Faustus also. Marlowe has brilliantly captured the spirit
of Renaissance. It was a time when science was becoming dominant than religion.
Dr. Faustus was a scholar from University of Wittenberg. He has
acquired all the knowledge available at that time-History, philosophy, medicine,
economy, medicine and many more..... but Still HE WAS HUNGRY FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE.
so, he makes contract with Mephistophilis that he will give his
soul to Devil after four and twenty years if Devil gives him power. After getting
the power he misuses it, plays silly tricks with it.
At last he suffers, regrets and dies a tragic death.
