The last two lines of this excerpt from Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Dr Faustus bring out the theme of forbidden knowledge:

Whose deepness doth entice such

forward wits to practise more than heavenly power permits.

It means that the deepness of your knowledge may be wrong and you begin to think that you are more powerful than the heavenly powers which is wrong again.So stay away from" enticing wits."".

The two parts of the excerpt from Christopher Marlowe's<em> The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus</em> (1592) are "Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits/ To practise more than heavenly power permits".

These two excerpts show that <u>access to knowledge is conceived as dangerous. The word 'wits' in the first part refers to the powers of intelligent observation and keen perception that are closely related to 'unlawful things'</u>, that is, things that are not morally right. Furthermore, the phrase<u> "more than heavenly power permits"</u> in the second part<u> </u>is key to understand that, in the play, <u>higher knowledge has been forbidden since getting access to it can bring terrible consequences</u>. The entire play, whose main character sells his soul to the devil to access knowledge, warns the readers about the dangers of pursuing knowledge.

What is one possible disadvantage of hearing the characters’ voices as opposed to silently reading the scene?
ziro4ka [17]

The answers are: It does not allow listeners to interpret each character through his or her tone; and it does not allow listeners to review or reread what each character has said.

When hearing the characters voices out loud, and in the hypothetical case that it is a live audition and not a recording, one, as part of the audience, does not have, evidently, the possibility of reviewing or rereading what each character says. This may seem vane, but in reality, it can be very important when reading since sometimes the sense of what´s being read is so profound that, in order to capture in full, one needs to review a certain passage.

Also, hearing the characters has the disadvantage of making their voices concrete and specific according to whoever is speaking. This leaves out the possibility of filling the character´s voice with one´s own imagination, wit, and fantasy, which usually are very important characteristics of a fictional character (literature, in the end, is always a very subjective activity on the side of the reader).
