•           Introduction

            In this play was very popular and the one of the tragic history of ‘Doctor Faustus’ in written by father of English dramatic poetry as Christopher Marlowe. In this novel published by 1592 and Dr. Faustus as ‘The Renaissance Play’.  This  play was  a written to the Elizabethan age and Marlowe is the son of a shoemaker of Canterbury is only dramatists before Shakespeare who is still reads with enthusiasm Marlowe has belongs  to the Elizabethan age and this age also write to the renaissance literature. As know that the renaissance was in essence an intellectual rebirth, IT showed itself in the effort of the institution of the middle ages. In the play, Marlowe has better and more than to be Renaissance man in his play Dr. Faustus in as well as the renaissance play. But now you can observe to Marlowe's work and Dr. Faustus as play in briefly.

•       His work and life

Christopher Marlow (1564-1593) one of the most striking figures of the English renaissance literature in his work of art. Marlow has born 1564 two months before Shakespeare, in the old cathedral town of Canterbury. In the Marlowe's life in his work also all whole effect and image to good in the Renaissance man. He is sent to Cambridge by a patron, who had noticed his quick parts. He graduated at nineteen and here Marlowe published his first play ‘Tamburlaine’ which he brought to renaissance literature and supernatural ideas and drama learn them. The most important dramatist before shakespear among the university wits was Marlowe. He is really great figure in pre-Shakespeare drama. He has left behind powerful and unnatural tragedies like that:

1.     Tamburlaine

2.     Dr. Faustus

3.     The Jew of malta

4.     Edward -2

Each one of these tragedies reflects the renaissance spirit and revolves round the central personality of the Renaissance man, who is consumed by lust for power. So, all four play more popular and in that play image of Shakespeare age and effect also. Marlowe's dramas are one man type of the play in which hero dominants the rest of the character. Marlowe is handwork and he has the Renaissance man also and not for in spiritual over indulgence of knowledge and the lust for power. Marlowe is great achievement in the Elizabethan age and his works are very popular, but I remember one line suitable to Marlowe's handwork and his achievement like that;

“When you highest achievement is always the result of hardworking”.

•           Marlowe in renaissance

Marlowe has been called the father of English dramatic poetry. He is belongs to the Elizabethan age and this era in many reader and author write to his work on the image of the renaissance. In that Marlowe has been many literary works of art and all the renaissance spirit man and medieval world. In the 16^th century the renaissance for that in Christianity m, magic, supernatural power and god lay at intellectual of  life, and Marlowe has also for his literary work and dramas as well as into scientific inquiry languished and theology was known as the queen of the sciences. However, in art and literature the mighty rather than on those of ordinary people. Marlowe's writing in the brief and haughty prologue prefixed and he not only announced clearly the character of that play. Sometimes he has more than to power and individual arguers to question and science for power of spiritually feeling in his drama. In the renaissance age, which have Elizabethan drama and play is one inconceivable. But Marlowe here that to speak god and consistently of the man in watch that to perform by stage into play. We can see that beneath the surface of his words, a proud consciousness of his own power over this almost untried form of verse. Marlowe showed his determination not to Pender to the pit by means of vulgar comedy and play in the renaissance.

                  In that last has Marlowe in gives to his play can see that unity to his dramas by makes them revolve around some single great character and personality. In 16^th century, Marlowe as the renaissance man and achieved in this not wholly sympathy medium but the highest distinction in renaissance time.

•       Dr. Faustus in renaissance play

In the play Dr, Faustus has been Marlow’s dramatic masterpiece ‘The Tragical History of Life and Death of Dr, Faustus’ is a very debatable issue Dr, Faustus has renaissance play and also for human power into his hand. In this play, Marlowe has dramatist and his writing in effect of renaissance age, culture, religious and literature. As we know that Dr, Faustus has tragic hero but in his hand of magic, supernatural power and the realm of necromancy. In the renaissances age, Marlowe wrote to Dr, Faustus as drama in he sells his soul to Lucifer in exchange for twenty- four years of immense power. But the desire to repent begins to plague him as fear of hell grows in him. Doctor Faustus has frequently been interpreted as depicting a clash between the value of medieval world and sprit of renaissance age.

            

                 As we know that Marlowe in wrote to drama in tragic elements, good and bad angel, magic, practical jokes use by Dr, Faustus as play. In the play, Faustus has magician and he not believers to good and evil angel. He has never of fear, every time asks that questions god. But not came to god, here Dr, Faustus asks and conversion to Mephistopheles. Dr, Faustus is a contradictory character capable of tremendous eloquence and possessing awesome ambition. It has some striking and significant differences that remove it from the genre of morality play. Audiences feel fear of the situation and pity for Faustus, whom Marlowe characterizes as a complex sympathetic character who develops and does not remain static. These points out two important differences between this and a morality play. A morality play (1) is intended to teach the difference between virtue and sin; between good and evil. A morality play (2) has allegorical characters that are named for what they allegorically represent one similar characteristic between Faustus and a morality play is the themes of sin and redemption, though Faustus does not personify Sin and Redemption as a morality play would do. Another similarity is the presence of a Good Angel and an Evil Angel and various Devils, yet these are specific characters with specific relationships or functions in Faustus' struggles; they are not allegorical personifications. Another similar characteristic is the presence of the Seven Deadly Sins, who appear as devils dancing for Faustus (Marlowe changed to this from the devil's pageant in the original 1592 English). In the play Faustus in his mind is full of philosophical and in his power to supernatural but in he faces to god never that belief. Marlowe use to these ideas in play but one dialogue between Faustus and Lucifer like that;

LUCIFER. Now, Faustus, how dost thou like this?

FAUSTUS. O, this feeds my soul!

LUCIFER. Tut, Faustus, in hell is all manner of delight.

FAUSTUS. O, might I see hell, and return again,

How happy where I then!

LUCIFER. Thou shaft; I will send for thee at midnight.

                 In the play this part is more interesting and also for Lucifer mind, his spirit for Faustus in that line. He has seen how the highly intelligent scholars are ruining their lives for the sake of power and want to hold the world in their hands. Dr. Faustus is a typically intelligent man where he feels the the world can be at his doorsteps by engaging himself with black magic to whom he surrounds his soul to the devil for the sake of his greedy power. His characterization is simple nevertheless his heroes are individuals they all arouse sympathy in some degree. This was his greatest contribution to English play and even than his revivification of its diction and meter. He was the morning star of Elizabethan drama and when he perished suddenly in the prime of his youth men felt that Lucifer had fallen from heaven. There is a lack of female character in Marlowe‘s play. Zen crate plays but a shadowy part in Tambourine; Helen is but a vision in Dr, Faustus.

       

 He overthrows Gods moral values and inculcates the vices where finally it ruins his life. Through the play Marlowe wants to give a message to the world that all intelligent men in the world should follow the moral values and ethics which are coined by the society.  If we violate the moral values of the society like Dr. Faustus we will be ruining our lives and have no place in Heaven after death. In this play we can see that more than to in Christian and also for renaissance in Dr, Faustus. Marlowe in has been renaissance spirit to Dr, Faustus as man to in renaissances man. But we know that Faustus may be repent and save his soul! “O lente lente currite noctis equi.”   Although Faustus was given all of power of the universal man and not for god and goddess. Faustus has face to death and life in tragic history of his life and he also for argues to god, but here came to not god but Mephistopheles in face and asks to question them. In this plat by for that Faustus has that in Mephistopheles in when Faustus remarks that to him seems to be free of hell at the moment that like:

Why this is hell. Nor am I out of it,

Think’st thou that I, who saw the face of god,

And tasted the eternal joys heaven,

Am not tormented with ten thousand hells,

In being deprived of everlasting bliss?

                   While Marlowe‘s Faustus is, admittedly a magician, a scientist, this distinction was not so clearly drawn in the 16th century as it is for them. In the play Faustus could be considered one drama, but you can see that in renaissance period Marlowe wrote in spirit of renaissances man and human power of knowledge ponder what happen to his limits as man. Moreover, in this play Dr, Faustus has in Renaissance man to be more than in the ideas of considered he a martyr has many flaws, several of which are evident when to Faustus before he turned to necromancy and what he did once he obtained the powers of the universe man. As renaissance play by Marlowe is inevitably the renascence audience in this play Dr, Faustus should realize that Faustus was a great man who did many great thinks because of his hubris and his lack of vision he died the tragic man. In the play has been that one man who possesses good and bad desire thought various actions and also conversation to good and bad angels and his personality for ideal image for the Renaissance man. In the play Marlowe has not for god came but in the time Lucifer was came, to take the path of god and Lucifer. Here just lines to in play by conversion to good and bad angel that like;

Evil angel. Go forward, Faustus, in that famous art.

Good angel. Sweet Faustus, leave that execrable art.

Faustus. Contrition, prayer, repentance- what of there?

Good angel. O. they are means to bring thee unto heaven!

Evil angel. Go, Faustus in that famous art

Wherein all nature’s treasure is contain’d

Be thou on earth as Jove is in the sky,Lord and commander of these elements.

                  Faustus has in play by that to be more than Marlowe desire to Renaissance man and also for his idea, feelings in over came in human. In the renaissance audience was not that to which time and place to perform to play into stage. But Marlowe in supernatural power and two desire of views by Marlowe thought and character for Faustus in magician and philosopher. In the play Marlowe’s drama and a similar deficiency is to be felt in the entirely serious tone of his plays. The comic scene in Dr. Faustus is poor as compared to the tragic scenes. The renaissance spirit to reach England in 14 century.  In the period there was a love for life and its manifold beauties.   And the age of adventure and material wealth.  He is ideas of a man of the renaissance is pictured by him in the figure of Dr. Faustus. A distinguishing note of the renaissance age intoxicated by the magnificent possibilities opened to it on every side was an uncontrollable aspiration after the ideas a  scorn of earthly conditions a soaring  passion that  sought to scale the infinitude of power, beauty and love. In Dr, Faustus Marlowe presents a man of learning and a man running mad after the pursuit of worldly power .Dr Faustus is the master of varied knowledge ranging and practices necromancy to acquire worldly power .so great is Dr, Faustus’s love for power and pleasure that he sells his soul to the devil for enjoyment of worldly pelf and power. In the play more for that Marlowe has the tragic death of Faustus and his life is lost and never came of his ideas. As renaissance man good and evil for just to be his mind but not for over thought can use. In the renaissance play for when ever and whatever Marlowe in that to sin, redemption, and damnation; the conflict between medieval and renaissance values absolute power and corruption the dividends of human nature. The Dr. Faustus present the play of Dr, Faustus a German scholar and physician  who  his just for worldly power and knowledge signed the fateful contract with Mephistopheles the agent of the devil that he would really allow his soul to be taken wherever Mephistopheles wanted.
  
     If for twenty four years he was at his command and carried out behests according to his liking. For twenty four year Mephistopheles served Dr. Faustus as faithfully as magician wanted him to do but after the expiry of twenty four years, his soul was forcefully dragged by the devil to hell where it was perpetually consigned without any hope of redemption in the future. The play of Dr, Faustus is extremely pathetic and the cries of agony emerging from the lacerated heart of the Dr Faustus at the last moment of his departure to hell are sufficient to rend even a story heart to pieces. In this play not for narrator but in many a time chorus which appears intermittently between scene, so rather than in play Faustus has Renaissance man and also for supernatural power in his hand.

•       Conclusion

Thus, that in to be Marlowe has write into play Dr, Faustus as renaissance play and Faustus is  good human being, in this era you can sees that to be more than of writer face and effect to renaissance age and also for spiritual power of Elizabethan age in drama. So than can to see in Dr, Faustus as Renaissance man and also great master piece for this age in Marlowe play as well as Dr, Faustus.
