One day, I'll follow Dr. Faustus in his footsteps.

Really enjoyed this. The writing flowed well and it was surprisingly really funny.

I know there's a deeper meaning with a religious commentary, but my brain has not made the conclusions just yet.

Would love to see this performed live.

Much more succinct than Goethe’s rendition, Marlowe’s play is accessible and entertaining.

What words should I use to praise Marlowe’s poetic excellence ?! I’m simply.. awed.

I didn’t like it very much but I had to read it for school.
