Stressing an essential humanity?

Mixture of poetry and proseSlide23

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!)Slide24

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?Slide25
