2-Is Doctor Faustus a Christian tragedy? Why or why not?
Doctor Faustus has elements of both Christian morality and classical tragedy. On the one hand, it takes place in an explicitly Christian cosmos: God sits on high, as the judge of the world, and every soul goes either to hell or to heaven. There are devils and angels, with the devils tempting people into sin and the angels urging them to remain true to God. Faustus’s story is a tragedy in Christian terms, because he gives in to temptation and is damned to hell. Faustus’s principal sin is his great pride and ambition, which can be contrasted with the Christian virtue of humility; by letting these traits rule his life, Faustus allows his soul to be claimed by Lucifer, Christian cosmology’s prince of devils.
Yet while the play seems to offer a very basic Christian message—that one should avoid temptation and sin, and repent if one cannot avoid temptation and sin—its conclusion can be interpreted as straying from orthodox Christianity in order to conform to the structure of tragedy. In a traditional tragic play, as pioneered by the Greeks and imitated by William Shakespeare, a hero is brought low by an error or series of errors and realizes his or her mistake only when it is too late. In Christianity, though, as long as a person is alive, there is always the possibility of repentance—so if a tragic hero realizes his or her mistake, he or she may still be saved even at the last moment. But though Faustus, in the final, wrenching scene, comes to his senses and begs for a chance to repent, it is too late, and he is carried off to hell. Marlowe rejects the Christian idea that it is never too late to repent in order to increase the dramatic power of his finale, in which Faustus is conscious of his damnation and yet, tragically, can do nothing about it.

2-"هو دكتور فوستوس" مأساة مسيحية؟ لماذا أو لماذا لا؟دكتور فوستوس يحتوي على عناصر من الأخلاق المسيحية والمأساة الكلاسيكية. من ناحية، فإنه يأخذ مكان في المسيحية صراحة الكون: الله يجلس على ارتفاع، كقاض للعالم، ويذهب كل الروح أما إلى الجحيم أو إلى السماء. وهناك الشياطين والملائكة، مع الشياطين إغراء الناس في الخطيئة وحثهم الملائكة أن يظل وفيا لله. قصة فوستوس لمأساة في المصطلحات المسيحية، لأنه يعطي الإغراء وملعون إلى الجحيم. فوستوس للخطيئة الرئيسية هي بلده الفخر العظيم والطموح، والتي يمكن أن يتناقض مع المسيحية فضيلة التواضع؛ بترك هذه الصفات القاعدة حياته، يسمح فوستوس روحه لأن تطالب به إبليس، الأمير المسيحي الكونيات من الشياطين.Yet while the play seems to offer a very basic Christian message—that one should avoid temptation and sin, and repent if one cannot avoid temptation and sin—its conclusion can be interpreted as straying from orthodox Christianity in order to conform to the structure of tragedy.
