"Doctor Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe is a timeless tragedy that explores themes of ambition, knowledge, and the consequences of unchecked desire. Set in 16th-century Germany, the play follows the story of Doctor Faustus, a brilliant scholar who becomes disillusioned with traditional forms of learning and makes a pact with the devil in exchange for limitless knowledge and power. Driven by his insatiable thirst for knowledge and his desire for mastery over the forces of nature, Faustus summons the demon Mephistopheles and agrees to sell his soul to Lucifer in exchange for 24 years of service from Mephistopheles and access to all the knowledge of the universe. However, as Faustus indulges in his newfound powers and pursues his worldly ambitions, he begins to experience doubt, remorse, and ultimately, damnation.
