Paper Summary:
The paper identifies the strong elements in the structure of "Doctor Faustus". The paper then analyzes the significance of these episodic structure elements and shows how we have to consider them in order to understand Faustus' tragedy in its fullness.From the Paper:
"Many have argued that the structure of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus was indeed too loose for a tragedy. There are thirteen scenes and most of the middle ones are episodic and are low comic scenes. This persistent comic deflation may be thought to break up the dramatic rhythm of Faustus' tragedy. However this seems to be a narrowed conception of the play. Consequently, our interest shall be the identification of the strong elements in Doctor Faustus' structure."More papers on Structure in "Doctor Faustus":
