Christopher Marlowe’s famous tragedy, Doctor Faustus, was first performed around 1595, just a few years after the first translation into English of a medieval legend about a doctor-turned-necromancer, who makes a pact with the devil. A key part of the play is Faust ‘s exchange with Mephistopheles, the devil’s intermediary. By this means Marlowe examines Faustus’s grandiose, but ultimately futile, intellectual ambitions.
