Why do you think that Faustus continues to speak of God and good things even after he has sold his soul to the Devil? Does this

suggest that Faustus could repent and be restored spiritually? Or does it mean something else altogether? Your answer should be at least one hundred words.

Christopher Marlowe in his most bizarre creation, Dr. Faustus, has blended the genres of Spiritual and Epic writing. Unlike Milton's 'Paradise Lost', this story involves human characters and portrays the scene from the real world. Characterization of Mephostophilis, Beelzebub and Lucifer are framed as the embodiment of pessimistic thoughts that slowly pollute the mind of Dr. Faustus, who is in desperate search of power and authority.

After the decision to sell his soul to the Devil, the entry of the 'good angel' and 'evil angel' suggest the wavering situation Dr.Faustus has put himself in. The good angel asks him to abandon the deal and “think of God, and heavenly things,” but he rebukes the good angel’s words, saying that he’s not loved by God. However, he does not listen and decides to sign the deed, but his blood congeals.

Later, after the deed is signed, Faustus once again hesitates and leans toward remorse as he contemplates the Godly wonders from which he has estranged himself off. The evil and good angels show again, and Faustus realizes that “[m]y heart’s so hardened I cannot repent!”. He then begins to ask Mephastophilis questions about the planets and the heaven. Furthermore, when he asks that who created the world, Mephostophilis departs angrily. Neglected again, Faustus turns his focus to God wondering if he can repent now. At the same time, the two angels appear again, and the good angel tries to help Faustus and asks him to repent. Influenced Faustus begins appealing to Christ for help and mercy, but then Belzebub, Lucifer, and Mephastophilis enter. They tell Faustus to stop thinking of God and reverse the focus of Faustus towards a delusional path.

This suggests that if Dr.Faustus wanted, he would have recovered himself out of the situation of selling his soul to the Devil. But his desperate temptation for power and excellence pulled him into the void that was ruled by the Devil. In my opinion, he could have returned back and embraced the decision suggested by the Good angel for a better life, but our tragic protagonist was fed by his own fire of temptations. The ringing of the good angel's voice also shows a silver lining within the dark cloud, which ultimately was not chosen by the Doctor.

fenix001 [56]
Similes compare two things. Because clowns are considered by most to be very funny, the object would also have to be something funny. 
Therefore you could say...

A clown is as funny as a medieval joker.
A clown is as funny as a cat barking like a dog.
A clown is as funny as a comedy movie.

abruzzese [7]
You should let your emotions out. Don't hold them in that only makes it worse... Losing someone you love is very hard and i'm glad you're still here... You should try to vent to someone you trust so you can let everything out. I hope you're okay and i hope you know you're loved.

1.Van Gogh’s paintings /be /almost /expensive /the work of Picasso.
Cloud [144]

Let's write complete sentences using the given words:

1. Van Gogh's paintings are almost as expensive as the work of Picasso.

2. We did not know the Recycled Orchestra until we watched the video online yesterday.

For the first sentence, we can see that the purpose is to compare the work of two painters, Van Gogh and Picasso. That is why we use the structure "as ... as". We must place the adjective "expensive" in the middle: "almost as expensive as".

For the second sentence, we do not need to add anything. However, because of the word "yesterday", we know the sentence refers to something that happened in the past. Thus, we use the Simple Past tense for the verbs: not know - did not know; watch - watched.

In conclusion, all we need to do is read the words to grasp what the purpose of each sentence is and then add or change whatever is necessary to form a complete sentence.
