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.

Why might Shakespeare have decided to show the murder of lady Macduff and her children on stage?
galina1969 [7]
Depicting the scene onstage illustrates the horror of the murders. Witnessing the murders makes them very real and extinguishes any empathy for Macbeth's character. The act exposes who the man has become.
