Dr. Faustus Parodic Structure Where else have we seen parodic inversion?

Dr. Faustus Prologue—Icarus Overreacher Foreshadowing of Faustus story Prologue, line 15 ff. Overreacher Foreshadowing of Faustus story

Act I Faustus not content with his achievements Lines 10-11; 20-24 Drawn to black magic Line 49 ff

Dr. Faustus Faustus’ desires and expectations—turning things upside-down Divinity should be highest Act I, line 37 ff It becomes lowest Line 106 ff Good Angel/Bad Angel—form of allegory Line I.1.70 ff Medieval influence 7 Deadly Sins Sc. 5.278

Scene 1 Faustus dreams of power Colonizing the demon/spirit world Lines78-97 Lines 119 ff

Scene 3 Faustus conjures Anti-Catholic (line 25) He is curious Further example: Scene 7 (Pope) He is curious Mephastophilis tells him of the nature of hell: Line 76 ff

Scene 3 Faustus expects great power for his bargain Lines 102 ff.

Faustus What is the nature of hell? What does he get—is he already there? See Scene 5, line 115 ff; line 135

Can Faustus be saved? Scene 5, line 194 ff. He believes he cannot repent

Comic Scenes Parodic Carnival Mixture of poetry and prose What is the purpose of carnival? “safety valve”? Stressing an essential humanity? Mixture of poetry and prose

Parodic pairings/Downward Spiral Scenes 3 and 4 (Faustus conjures/Wagner conjures) Scenes 5 and 6 (Faustus pledges/Robin and Rafe conjure) Scenes 7 and 8 (F tricks Pope/ Robin and Rafe call Mephastophilis) Scenes 9 and 10 (Faustus is in both scenes!)

Parodic Pairing Some claim this is a later interpolation But let’s compare to Simpson’s parody It’s ridiculous to sell your soul for a donut, but what does Faustus really get for his bargain? Scene 4, line 8—does Faustus really get more than these low characters?

Faustus and Tragedy Tragedy Tragic Flaws Christian or Subversive Tragedy?
