View through CrossRef
This study explores the Renaissance spirit as reflected in Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, a seminal work encapsulating the core values of the English Renaissance. By examining Faustus' unrelenting quest for knowledge, individualism, and aspirations for superhuman powers, this paper highlights how the play embodies Renaissance ideals such as humanism, the pursuit of beauty, and the rejection of medieval dogmas. The analysis reveals how Marlowe portrays the duality of the Renaissance, its intellectual achievements and moral dilemmas—through the tragic downfall of Dr. Faustus.
