Some short question and Answer of Doctor Faustus.

1. Greek mythological Character in Doctor Faustus.

Answer: In Doctor Faustus we have seen that two mythological character represent here one is Helen of Troy and other is chorus. In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy also known as Helen of Sparta, was said to have been the most beautiful woman in the world, who was married to King Menelaus of Sparta, but was abducted by Prince Paris of Troy. Christopher Marlowe's lines from his tragedy Doctor Faustus (1604) are frequently cited: "Was this the face that launched a thousand ships / And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?  The use of the Chorus in Elizabethan plays derives ultimately from its use in Ancient Greek drama, where it consisted of a group of actors who spoke in unison or were sometimes  divided into two groups to speak alternately, in a kind of conversation or debate. Doctor Faustus  employs the Chorus in a number of functions. There are for witness, Tell Faustus' birth and early  career, to introduce a new location. To anticipate the first part of the action, as Faustus turns towards  forbidden knowledge, change in Faustus' behavior etc.

2. Faustus Soliloquies( First and Second Soliloquies) office Work. 

Answer:

 Literally soliloquy means talking to himself aloud when a person is alone or is supposed to be alone. In Doctor Faustus we have seen that two soliloquy takes place in whole  drama. The first soliloquy contains sixty-three lines. The last one, in the other hand, contains fifty-five lines.

In the opening soliloquy, Dr Faustus is addressing himself in the Third person-" Settle thy studies, Faustus, and began" - which creates the impression that he is talking to himself. He declares that he will be a 'divine' only in appearance, while aiming to achieve expertise in every academic discipline. From the first soliloquy we come to know that he will surrender his soul to the Devil.   

  Doctor Faustus' final soliloquy takes place during his last hour to live before his deal with the devil expires. Faustus spends his last hour in wishful thoughts of ways to escape his upcoming fate. Faustus knows his fate is at hand and begins his soliloquy by wishing that time would stand still so that midnight would never come or that the sun, "Fair Nature's eye," would rise again and make the day everlasting. 

3. Moralistic / Hallucination  describe in Doctor faustus

Moralistic: Doctor Faustus has many features of a morality play: the conflict between good and evil, the creation of Good and Bad Angels, the Old Man as Good Counsel, the pageant of the Seven Deadly Sins and the appearance of Faustus’ enemies to ambush and kill him.

The Good Angel and the Bad Angel are characters derived from the medieval morality plays. They are sometimes regarded as an externalization of the thoughts of Faustus. The audience also observes the pageant of the Seven Deadly Sins in Doctor Faustus. This is another feature borrowed by Marlowe from the tradition of the morality play.  Benvolio’s attempts to ambush and take revenge on Faustus is also a device taken from the medieval morality play. Doctor Faustus has many features of the morality play of the Middle Ages.

Hallucination: Faustus is affected psychologically and loses focus on reality as a result of his power obsession. His attempts to overreach his limitations render him a total neurotic. At the very outset, one can spot the innate instability in him. Destruction is seen to erupt from within.
