THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS

THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANSDoctor Faustus is a play written by Christopher Marlowe, based on the Faust story, in which a man sells his soul to the amaze for power and knowledge. Doctor Faustus was first published in 1604, eleven eld aft(prenominal) Marlowes death and at least twelve years after the first performance of the play. Faustus is seen as a sad hero since he is a character that makes an error of judgment or has a ignominious flaw which combined with fate external forces, represents on a tragedy. This tragical flaw leading to either action or inaction is the offset printing of the characters d proclaimward sprial, which was originally caused by his great character trait. Faustus is a student who has great intelligence, ambition and honor these aspects of his ainity are often his weakness, as well as his greatest personality trait, leads him into conflict. He is not a villain, his aims are good only when means to achieve it are not.Faustus comments that he has reach ed the end of every subject he has studied. He appreciates Logic as world a tool for arguing Medicine as being unvalued unless it allowed raising the dead and immortality Law as being square and above him Divinity as useless because he feels that all cosmos commit sin, and then to have sins punished by death complicates the logic of Divinity. He dismisses it as What doctrine call you this? (What will be, shall be). Actually, he was cognisant of every art that mankind could be able to learn.Philosophy is woeful and obscure,Both law and physic are for petty wits,Divinity is basest of the three-Unpleasant, harsh, scummy and vile.Tis conjury, thaumaturgy that hath ravished me hence, gentle friends, aid me in this attempt (100 105)You shouldnt finish your divide with a quotation. You should devote a line or two to break it and try to connect it to the point you want to prove, which is that Faustus is a tragic hero.Nonetheless, he was not satisfied with everything he knew so he called upon his servant Wagner to bring for Valdes and Cornelius, two famous magicians. The good angel and the bad angel broadcast their own perspective of his interest in Satan. Though Faustus is momentarily dissuaded, proclaiming How am I glutted with conceit of this? He is apparently won everywhere by the possibilities Magic offers to him. Valdes declares that if Faustus devotes himself to Magic, he must(prenominal) vow not to fill anything else and points out that great things are indeed possible with someone of Faustus standing.The miracles that magic will performWill make thee vow to study aught else. (130 131)Thereafter, Doctor Faustus makes an accord with the Devil in order to achieve what he wants. Right there, Faustus, lucifer and other deuces created a circle and speak an incantation. Then a call on the carpet named Mephistopheles appears before him. Faustus is unable to tolerate the hideous looks of the devil and commands it to castrate its appearance. Faustu s, in seeing the obedience of the devil (for changing form), takes preen in his skill. He tries to bind the devil to his service exactly is unable to because Mephistopheles already serves Lucifer, the prince of devils. Mephistopheles also reveals that it was not Faustuss power that summoned him but rather anyone that abjured the scriptures would impart in the devil coming to claim ones soul. Again you are re-telling me the story, but I cant see the point when you connect the characteristics of the tragic hero with those present in Faustus.I charge you to lead and change thy shape,Thou art too ugly to attend on me.Go, and return an old Franciscan friarThat holy shape becomes a devil bestHow pliant is this Mephistopheles,Full of obedience and humility,Such is the force of magic and my spells (Iii 25 33)I am a servant of to great LuciferAnd may not follow thee without his leave.No more than he commands must we perform (Iii 39 41)Using Mephistopheles as a messenger, Faustus strike s a plenty with Lucifer he is to be allotted twenty-four years of heart on Earth, during which time he will have Mephistopheles as his personal servant. At the end he will give his soul oer to Lucifer as payment and spend the rest of time as one damned to Hell. This deal is to be sealed in Faustus own blood. After having cut his arm, the irritate is prognosticately healed and the Latin delivery Homo, fuge (Man, fly) appear upon it. Despite the dramatic nature of this obvious divine intervention, Faustus disregards the inscription with the presumption that he is already damned by his actions thus far, therefore left with no place to which he could flee. Mephistopheles brings coals to break the wound open again, and thus Mephistopheles begins his servitude and Faustus his oath.To sum up, Faustus own greed drove him to the dense and ruin. The Devil claimed his property and take Doctor Faustus to the depths forever.Juan, Im sorry to tell you but althugh this essay strangely displa ys a perfect grammar (for evidently theres cut and feast from wikipedia for MOST of the essay) you are not proving the point you are supposed to. transmit in mind the characteristics of the tragic hero and connect them to evidence y the text. Im quite disappointed, in fact. Mark 4 (four)
