Christopher Marlowe

Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was born in Canterbury the year of Shakespeare’s birth. Like Shakespeare, he was of a prosperous middle-class family, but unlike Shakespeare he went to a university, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he received the bachelor’s degree in 1584 and the master’s degree in 1587. The terms of his scholarship implied that he was preparing for the clergy but he did not become a clergyman. Shortly before he received his M.A. the University seems to have wished to withhold it, apparently suspecting him of conversion to Roman Catholicism, but the Queen’s Privy Council intervened on his behalf, stating that he “had done her majesty good service” and had been employed “in matters touching the benefit of the country.” His precise service is unknown. After Cambridge, Marlowe went to London, where he apparently lived a turbulent life (he had two brushes with the law and was said to be disreputable) while pursuing a career as a dramatist. He wrote seven plays--the dates of which are uncertain--before he was yet again in legal difficulties: he was arrested in 1593, accused of atheism. He was not imprisoned, and before his case could be decided he was dead, having been stabbed in a tavern while quarreling over the bill.

Samenvatting

Christopher Marlowe's 'The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus' is a masterful play that delves into themes of ambition, power, and the consequences of making a deal with the devil. Written in blank verse, the play displays Marlowe's skillful use of language and his ability to create complex characters that wrestle with moral dilemmas. Set in the Elizabethan era, the play was groundbreaking in its exploration of the human psyche and the limits of human knowledge and desire. Marlowe's work is often compared to that of William Shakespeare, with some critics arguing that Marlowe's use of language and exploration of dark themes rivals that of the famous bard. Christopher Marlowe, a contemporary of Shakespeare, was known for his daring and controversial works that often pushed the boundaries of conventional morality. Marlowe's own reputation for living a rebellious and adventurous life adds depth to his exploration of the character of Faustus and his pact with the devil. Marlowe's untimely death at a young age only adds to the mystique surrounding his work. 'The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus' is a must-read for those interested in Elizabethan drama, classic literature, and the human condition. Marlowe's exploration of Faustus' downfall serves as a cautionary tale for readers of all ages, reminding us of the dangers of unchecked ambition and the consequences of selling one's soul for power and knowledge.
