- Religion
- Beginning- not so good F thinks Religion = waste of time
- But he cannot escape it, even on his travels abroad
- Written in England during highly protestant time
- Believed only God can save you
- F ultimate sin = selling soul to devil.
- Real downfall = not deed but the denying of Christ's ability to save him
- Unconventional ending as F denied salvation allows for Marlowe to criticise christ
- Are his powers limited? Those who call won't necessarily get support, or worse = there is no christ in which to find salvation.
- Controversial ending- Does it reflect Marlowe's belief
- Marlow was agnostic or atheist
- " A sound magician is a mighty God"
- The only way to achieve true power is to free ones self from religious constraints
- "Necromantic books are heavenly"
- Against Catholic teachings, readers of Marlowes day would find this shocking = blasphemy
- Beginning- not so good F thinks Religion = waste of time
