I really enjoy watching this play . The costumes and scenery are appropriate and tastefully done. The plot is very clear and the message is that sinners will never go unpunished and the evil that men do will always live after them. Dr Faustus is a man blinded by his own intellect and possessed by himself and he got blown up in pride.
One scene I found very comical and at least interesting from religion point of view is when Mephistophillis
became invisible. He also used his power to make Faustus in the presence of the Pope and Cardinal - most revered roles in Christianity. Faustus was actually playing tricks on the Pope and making fool of him. This I found very disrespectful to say the least and may have set the stage for his self destructing acts. Despite his sins he failed to yield to all warnings that could have saved him.
Faustus denial of God's power and Majesty became the source of his damnation.
