Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-23 00:00:00 Eric Soucy All who read Shakespeare should read Marlowe - in a sense more biting, with a darker interpretation of the human condition. He is the birth of Elizabethan theatre, and hence a man more enveloped by lingering medievalism than his more famous counterpart. From Tamburlaine's unconquerable appetite for conquering, to a Dr Faustus dismissive of hell being hence dismissed by heaven, to King Edward II's infamous demise, Marlowe finds a fitting and tragic fate for his protagonists who are the beaters for their own ruinous. Marlowe's tales and characters stand out. They erupt from page to stage with incredible energy. An Ovidian scholar whose place in the great achievements of English stagecraft should not be forgotten. He burnt life's candle at both ends, and his short career is fitting for the man who wrote the following lines: "Now, Mephistopheles, the restless course That time doth run with calm and silent foot, Short'ning my days and thread of vital life, Calls for payment of my latest years" -Faustus, Dr Faustus, Act 4 Scene I
