POS spoiler 💔 Overview
In his pursuit to win the heart of the lady he loves, Faustus, a scholar at the University of Wittenberg, makes a pact with the devil to surrender his soul in exchange for power and knowledge.
The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, commonly referred to simply as Doctor Faustus, is an Elizabethan tragedy by Christopher Marlowe, based on German stories about the title character Faust. It was probably written in 1592 or 1593, shortly before Marlowe's death. Two different versions of the play were published in the Jacobean era several years later
Shakespeare was hugely influenced by Marlowe
Marlow’s masterpiece brought to life , the Burtons went to Oxford university and worked for free with students
Drama Queen Faustus would fit right in today's DEI crowd. Ha. Ha Ha.
I'm sorry but after 43 minutes in I got too bored to carry on watching it; I think it was that Elizabethan language that did it. But I thought it was Shakespwae and it turns out to be Christopher Marlowe. It just goes to show I don't know everything like I thought I did.
