Answer:
the declining social status of the people with whom he interacts
Explanation:
"Doctor Faustus" is a play by <em>Christopher Marlowe,</em> which centers on the character of "Faust," the protagonist. It is structured in <em>blank verse</em> and <em>prose.</em> Since it is an Elizabethan tragedy, it consists of a chorus.
The story is about Faustus's excessive pride and his lack of satisfaction. He thought that he was above everyone else that he even practiced necromancy in order to summon a devil and sell his soul. However, this led to his d.amnation. Instead of repenting for his sins, he used his temporary magic in order to play tricks.
Instead of rising above humans, he falls to his destruction. This is evident with the declining social status of the people with whom he interacts in the play. Though he wanted to serve humanity at the beginning, he turned into doing nonsensical tricks. So, instead of becoming on top, he plunged towards the<u> lowest status</u> and, ultimately, his soul was taken away by <em>Lucifer.</em>
