The tragic story of Dr. Faustus, also translated simply as Doctor Faustus, is a play written by Johann Wolfgang, based on the legend of Faust, in which a man sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge.

It is a non-traditional play because it has a structure of thirteen scenes, a prologue, and an epilogue. It does not use the acting category to order the laying.

The structure of the classical theater divided the work into three acts. Each of them, with a thematic and formal unity, represented a stage in history.

The first event that confirms Faust's moral deterioration is that he can not regret signing the pact with Mephistopheles. He does not feel guilty anymore.

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus is a play written by Christopher Marlowe in 1588 or 1592, based on the story of Dr. Faust, 1587, German anonymous collection of short stories about occult science practitioners. The piece, written in verse part in prose, tells the story of a man who sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge.

The tragic story of Doctor Faustus is a critique of the beginning of what we know today as "scientism", but at the time it was a phenomenon only in its beginning. Realize that it was the sixteenth century, Renaissance, a period when religion is losing space, and science begins to be constituted - partly because of the discovery or creation of various precision instruments that allowed man to understand natural phenomena that were previously attributed to God.

The irony of this story is that Faust approached the devil for believing that he knew God too much. It seems to me that he really was a scientist, in the deepest sense of the term, for he sought, sought, sought. And there was nothing left. I think he made the pact with the devil not only for wealth and power, but mainly to continue his quest on the unknown. The covenant, indeed, was by power; the wealth, which he did not enjoy, came from the power he had. Faust wanted to be able to do more than others, to know more than others. Thus, I conclude that Marlowe's Faust was imbued with a scientific spirit, his vanity was scientific; otherwise he might have chosen to look young, handsome, and rich, like Dorian Gray.

Answer:

Helen Tucker meant so much to Gregory, and for plenty of reasons. However, Gregory lacked everything Helen seemed to possess. He took hope in the belief that these things would bring him happiness and make him appear significant to those around him or, hopefully, the teacher. Gregory goes on to claim that she was popular, and Gregory longed for the attention that Helen received. He just “made noises to be noticed.” The teacher in which he previously strived to please or to at least seem important to made Gregory have a sense of worthlessness compared to the rest of the class, or at least not feel as important as he had anticipated. He began dreaming, just wishing to be Helen Tucker. And suddenly, like a spark in an abyss of sorrow, he fell in love with Helen. She was the embodiment of everything that Gregory ever hoped for, and so he greatly admired her. Gregory tells that she would, if he didn’t come to close, wink and say hello to him. He stated that it was a good feeling. He felt a sense of accomplishment. He was noticed by the one thing, the everything that he ever strived to be. All of this, and Helen was white. A wonderful girl with a pale complexion. Despite Helen’s small attempts of being nice, the two were to refrain from communicating in the classroom. Abiding by the rules, Gregory keeps his distance when made to, but just a wink or smile was enough to keep him pushing through the days.
