Answer:

It shows Faustus when he is at the height of his powers.

Explanation:

"Doctor Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe is an Elizabethan tragedy that shows Faustus selling his soul to Lucifer. He wants it in exchange for the service of Mephistophilis and the knowledge of the whole universe to be given to him. The main character Faustus embodies the greed of man in trying to attain things way beyond his capacity. The above provided excerpt is from the speech of the Chorus in Act 2 Scene III. They began to talk about his achievement and the powers he had got from the contract. This shows Faustus at the peak of his powers, with the whole knowledge of the universe in his hand.

What is an example of connotation in the Christmas carol
Rashid [163]
You mean the movie? I don't know about the move, but if you wan't to know about connotation, it is like an implied meaning of a sentence. For example, the sentence " Wow, Angie is such a know it all" . Connotation the implied meaning. It is not the dictionary definition. The meaning of know it all is someone who is smart, but If you say that about someone, you might hurt their feelings. Do you get it?
