The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus (Classic Reprint)

Christopher Marlowe

4.9/5 (18703 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus The form which Marlowe superseded and reformed altogether may be described as dam boyant, unrestrained, bombastic. Full of sound and fury, it revelled in the employment of full blown epithet, in ated imagery, pompous diction, and hyperbolic statement. Largely meretricious, it sought to hide under a gaudy exterior the poverty of ideas within. Shakespeare, with wonderful mimetic skill, parodies the style of his own and Marlowe's predecessors in the speeches of the Player King and the Player Queen in Hamlet, and none will be surprised at Queen Gertrude's criticism that the latter protested too much. Over-protestation was indeed, the key note of the style, just as the occasional rhymed couplet was its outward sign and symbol.
