Lets us throw some light on
his work.

4.  Tamburlaine is the story Timur the Tartar.
 Tamburlaine is an epic rather than a drama; but
one can understand its instant success with a
people only half civilized, fond of military
glory, and the instant adoption of its “mighty
line” as the instrument of all dramatic
expression.

rebels and then triumphs over the Persian king.

things.

one of the best of Marlowe's
works.

remarkable work.

personality of Doctor Faustus

jewels to tinsel and colored
paper.

7.  Marlowe’s third play is ‘The
Jew of Malta’, a study of the
lust for wealth, which center
about Barabas, a terrible old
money lender, strongly
suggestive of shylock in ‘The
merchant of Venice’.
 The first part of the play is
well constructed, showing a
decided advance bat the last
part is an accumulation of
melodramatic horrors.

8.  Barabas is checked in his murderous career by Feeling
in to a boiling caldron which he had prepared for
another, and dies blaspheming, his only regret bring
that he has not done more evil in his life.

9. Marlow’s last
play is Edward
II.
A tragic study of
a king’s
weakness and
misery.
