Why Shakespeare was thrown at me since high school and Marlowe was unknown to me until now confuses me greatly. What a great play.

Read for class. Eh, I didn’t hate it, but didn’t love it either. No rating, if I were, it’d probs be like a 2.5/3 I guess.

This was a fairly easy, short read, but I found it to be fairly boring. The concept is fairly interesting, but the plot is almost non-existent. Many scenes feel disjointed and barely connected to the main plot. The play feels like it’s building up to something, but it never really pans out and the ending feels anticlimactic.
The above is essentially my thought immediately after reading the play. I did gain more appreciation for it after talking about it in class, but I still wouldn’t necessarily recommend to someone who reads to be entertained. If you read because you like to think deeply about a piece, you will probably enjoy this one a lot more than I did.

Read this for college and found it so entertaining if slightly unsettling. I wrote my term paper on its farcical elements. Selling your soul to the devil for ultimate power and knowledge and then becoming a mega prankster is exactly the kind of plot line I needed. Then becoming so stupid that you don’t turn back along the crappy path to the hell mouth you’re heading down even though it’s readily available and open to you is highly entertaining. Dr Faustus you are intensely stupid despite your scholarly knowledge. A lot of academics nowadays could learn from this play. So entertaining…. So many layers… I could say so much. I only gave it 3 stars because I had to read it for college but overall it was entertaining if a bit insane.
