Faustus is curing ill people and making them live forever

did Dr. Faustus "fall for it" as in being tricked by the devil, pr did he fall onto the wrong path and choose it

This play was a fun read. It was different from the dramatic and sweet stories, this was kind of dark and twisted in a way with the involvement of Lucifer I believe. Teaches the messages about the dark sides of life such as the evils, damnation and power which can end in bad situations. Gave the true perspective of the realities of life and not some magical ending that makes it all better.

Why is this even a thing to be of importance in his situation. Never escaping from a little love in these stories

Wow that's deep. Worth giving up a soul

Beard cut to a sharp point. This is an interesting word -- where is this word derived from? latin?

In English, the word laureate has come to signify eminence or association with literary awards or military glory. I assume this is a Latin derived word

I believe that this represents his emotions inner conflicts. It is subconscious fighting with itself. and we, the audience, are shown this through a good and bad devil. Representing good and bad side.

Faustus has accomplished many great things, but he wants more. He wants to control everything, like a god.

I believe this means "because of the inequalities in their motions."

"a father may not disinherit his son unless..."

An exclamation of impatience

"petty; trivial."

Dr. Faustus reached too high, like Icarus, which led to his demise. An allusion to the story of Daedalus and Icarus.

Fun fact: Do you know "Game of Thrones" star Kit Harington played Doctor Faustus on the London stage a couple of years back?

I think this is the "darkest" story we've read in this course thus far. I pretty much enjoyed it because it deals with contrasting themes that fascinate me, such as good vs. evil, damnaton vs. salvation, destiny vs. free will, and power vs. knowledge. This story somehow reminds me of The Canterbury Tales, since both stories question whether a sinner can be pardoned and the reasons why humans are aware of sin and damnation but are not totally understand its importance. Sadly, Faustus doesn't repent in the end, because his heart is "hardened," and he's always struggling to find reasons to renounce magic and repent. He never repents because he loses faith in God and of course, in himself.

"Flee, o man!"

It's finished; and these are the last words of Jesus. https://www.english.op.org/godzdogz/it-is-finished-john-19-30

Why do you delay? by "Jehovah", Gehenna, and this holy water which I now sprinkle, and the signal of the cross which I now make, and through our prayers, himself now there should arise a Mephistophilis dedicated to us! "

"What swells: By Jehovah, Gehenna, and this water which I now sprinkle, and the sign of the cross which I now make, and through our prayers, he dedicated to Azazel now arises in us!"

Mephistophilis' first appearance is dramatically effective as he appears so suddenly and in a horrifying shape. He symbolizes hell as it is a place of horror and damnation.

admirably purposeful, determined

Indian Moors were a grouping of people who existed in Sri Lanka predominantly during its colonial period. They were distinguished by their Muslim faith whose origins traced back to the British Raj. Therefore, Indian Moors refer to a number of ethnic groups such as Memons, Bohra and Khoja.

I believe that this is referencing to Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, a Roman consul, statesman, general and architect. He "was responsible for the construction of some of the most notable buildings in the history of Rome and for important military victories." Agrippa was responsible for furnishing the city of Rome with marble. Maybe Faustus us aiming to be as high achieving as Agrippa was in Rome. Faustus is also a philosopher, so it makes sense to he would look up to somebody like this.

According to Dictionary.com

Syllogism - Logic. an argument the conclusion of which is supported by two premises, of which one (major premise) contains the term (major term) that is the predicate of the conclusion, and the other (minor premise) contains the term (minor term) that is the subject of the conclusion; common to both premises is a term (middle term) that is excluded from the conclusion.

Wagner is confused because Faustus is enjoying himself, which does not seem like the behavior of someone about to die.

The scholars tell Faustus to seek God's mercy.

To the scholars, Faustus' bargain was clearly a horrible deal.

Faustus is in despair, as the end of his deal with Lucifer is approaching.

The chorus tells us that Faustus is gone and we need to see his downfall as an example of why we should not try to learn “unlawful things," and that we should learn from Faustus and set limits to what they seek to learn and know.

Haha, this could be a never-ending argument, but wait, why do scholars ever start arguing this?

Mephistophilis appears and Faustus demands that this demon serve him.

It's interesting that Faustus speaks of himself in the third person here.

The scholars worry about Faustus keeping company with Valdes and Cornelius and therefore falling "into that damned art." I wonder why they see magic as damned art? Why is magic called damned art?

Cornelius says that Faustus shouldn't find magic too difficult as he knows astrology, languages, and geology, which are the basic principles of magic .

As he wants to study magic, he asks his servant, Wagner, to fetch his magician friends, Valdes and Cornelius, to come to help him.

Faustus is trying to figure out what he wants to do. He does have many options such as philosophy, medicine, and law, but he thinks they are pointless and boring.

He is very good at the studies of theology.

Faustus was born in a town called Rhodes in Germany, and he was raised by relatives in Wertenberg.

Definitely shines a different light on woman than the last read. I love how Aemilia sticks up for women, backs it up with evidence and facts, and refers to the time of Adam and Eve. Pointing out that Eve was no more at fault than Adam each having a mind of their own and him having the knowledge but was too "weak" and ultimately giving in when he could of easily refused

since all royal virtues are in the queen, Aemilia asks her to accept her to graciously accept her poem even the "meanest" line

she wants the queen to shine some light on her poem acknowledging that her poem is unpolished. If it were graced by the queen it would seem more divine
