Doctor Faustus

          Here in this blog  I am writing the answers of the questions which is given as the thinking activity on Doctor Faustus. Question 1 The play directed by Matthew Dunster for globe theater ends with this science  ( see the image of Lucifer ) what does it signify ? This picture is from the play Dr. Faustus directed by Matthew Dunster. The character which we can see in the picture is of Lucifer. We can see the big wings and proud on his face. Lucifer is a symbol of devil. And master of Mephistophils. The hunger for destruction of mankind is extent that Lucifer," The Prince of hell" surrenders his personal assistant to serve Faustus for twenty and four year ; the fact remains that Faustus is one man , only one man.

If yes where and how ? If no, why ?  Yes
