Ex 1-3: Pro/Con

Length: 3p. Choose a good thesis -- one that asks an intellectualy complex question about one or more of the plays we have studied. Perform a close reading that assesses evidence both in favor of and against your thesis. (Rescheduled from 07 Oct.)

Marlowe, Faustus (to end of Act II)

This is the "B" text of Christopher Marlowe's Faustus.

The story is based on the legend of a man whose thirst for knowledge leads him to sell his soul to the devil. In some ways, Fausuts is a kind of "mad scientist."

The text we will be looking at is from Tufts, and was edited by Hilary Binda.
