In this thesis is made an attempt to give some critical considerations on Marlowe's Doctor Faustus chiefly in the following aspects, by comparing it, as far as possible, with Goethe's Faust: Faustus' magic-seeking motive, his desire for infinite knowledge, which is no less than a hankering for omnipotence as is the case with Tamburlaine and Barabas; Mephistophilis' peculiar view of 'hell' in which Lucifer's kingdom is considered to lie in the souls of men who are not with God; the symbolism of the Good Angel and the Evil Angel, and its relationship with Faustus' salvation which is doomed impossible by the theme of the play-the conflicts between conscience and desire, always ending in the triumphs of the hero's human thirst for being true to his 'self' over traditional religious faith; Mephistophilis' attitude towards love and matrimony, regarding conjugal affection as the supreme form of love with its purifying and elevating influence on the human soul; Marlowe in Faustus, the "atheist" struggling against himself in an abyss of doubt and self-contradiction.
