This document provides background information on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a renowned German writer and philosopher. It discusses his most famous work, Faust, which tells the story of a scholar who makes a deal with the devil, trading his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. The work is considered one of the greatest literary achievements in German literature and explores themes of human arrogance, temptation, and the relationship between good and evil.
Comic Scenes of Dr. Faustus (Scene: VI & VII)
Tragedy generally emphasizes human suffering but ends with rigid finality. It also criticizes hubris, self-delusion, and complacency. However, sometimes comic scenes must be included in a tragedy with a dramatic purpose. Dr. Faustus is a tragic play with the mood of dark and serious play, but there were also comic scenes. It is very difficult to hold an audience's attention with hours of serious, deep and emotional content without also having something to lighten the mood. That’s why Marlowe added comic scenes in it. Still, many critics say that Christopher Marlowe did not even write these scenes but instead say that they were written later by other playwrights. Many critics are of the opinion that the comic elements in these scenes are low and vulgar.
The literary term for such comic interludes is known as comic relief. A tragedy is bound to create tension in the mind of the audience and if this tension is not relaxed from time to time, it creates some sort of emotional weakness in the mind of the audience. Hence, comic scenes are a necessity to ease the tension and refresh the mind. There was a pressing demand from the side of Elizabethan audience for such interludes. Hence, playwrights had to introduce such comic scenes as the producers also demanded them for a successful run of the play.
In scene VI and VII, we find only three comic scenes. Science, the beginning of Scene VI, Faustus is alone in his study. Then, Mephistophilis appears and a bond is signed with the blood of Faustus. Mephistophilis gives Faustus a book of magic which contains all the knowledge that Faustus. After that Lucifer orders seven deadly sins (pride, covetousness, wrath, envy, gluttony, sloth and Lechery) to entertain Faustus. Faustus questions each of the seven sins who describe themselves. This situation provides comic relief to the audiences. This scene all along is in a serious tone. But Marlowe is converted the serious scene to comic scene.
At the end of scene VI, Dick and Robin once again provide comic relief. Robin has stolen one of Faustus’ conjuring books and wants to make all the girls in the village dance for him. He also wants to use the book to get drunk. Dick and Robin have no connection with the main theme of the play. But they have importance in this play.
Scene VI, prepares us for Faustus' entry into the comic world by telling us to observe him and Mephistophilis as they stand invisible in the court of the Pope. The Pope is mocked and struck on the head, food is snatched from his hands, eating utensils and serving vessels are dashed to the floor. Bewildered and desperately using his occult powers to save himself from the demon in his presence, the Pope stands duped, busily making the sign of the cross, lacking even the wit of Robin. This scene culminates in the mock incantation of the Friars as they; attempt to appease the ghost "crept out of Purgatory."
Doctor Faustus is not comical and poorly
This is the first period in English literature. Anglo-Saxon England was early medieval England, existing from the 5th to the 11th century from the end of Roman Britain until the Norman conquest in 1066. It consisted of various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms until 927 when it was united as the Kingdom of England by King Æthelstan (r. 927–939). It became part of the North Sea Empire of Cnut the Great, a personal union between England, Denmark and Norway in the 11th century.
In the last two books of the epic, Milton includes almost a complete summary of Genesis. This lengthy section may seem anti-climactic, but Milton's mission was to show not only what caused man's fall, but also the consequences upon the world, both bad and good. A concept central to this tale is that of the “felix culpa” or fortunate fall. This is the philosophy that the good which ultimately evolves as a result of the fall—God's mercy, the coming of Christ, redemption and salvation—leaves us in a better place, with opportunity for greater good than would have been possible without the fall.

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. AUTHOR
• Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, (born August 28, 1749,
Frankfurt am Main [Germany] - died March 22, 1832,
Weimar, Saxe- Weimar), German poet, playwright,
novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre director, critic, and
amateur artist, considered the greatest German literary
figure of the modern era.
4. • Goethe is the only German literary figure whose range
and international standing equal those of Germany’s
supreme philosophers (who have often drawn on his
works and ideas) and composers (who have often set his
works to music). In the literary culture of the German -
speaking countries, he has had so dominant a position
that, since the end of the 18th century, his writings have
been described as “classical.” In a European perspective
he appears as the central and unsurpassed
representative of the Romantic movement, broadly
understood.
5. • He could be said to stand in the same relation to the
culture of the era that began with the Enlightenment and
continues to the present day as William Shakespeare
does to the culture of the Renaissance and Dante to the
culture of High Middle Ages. His Faust, though eminently
stage worthy when suitably edited, is also Europe’s
greatest long poem since John Milton’s paradise Lost, if
not since Dante’s The Divine Comedy.

9. SYNOPSIS
• Faust or Faustus is a scholar who sells his soul to the
Devil. Although fictional in literature, the legend is based
on an astrologer and alchemist who lived in the area of
northern Germany in the fifteenth century.
Though trained in theology, he turns to magic and makes a
perilous deal with the Devil in which he commits his soul to
eternal damnation in return for power and knowledge in this
life. But he is only human, and arrogant and reckless.
Mephistopheles or Mephisto the Devil offers to serve Faust
for a period of time, at the cost of his eternal soul.
10. • Mephistopheles is a difficult servant, and Faust is
challenged by his tricks, lies and temptations. Despite
their adventures, Faust accomplishes little or nothing of
substance, wasting his opportunity with frivolities and
indulgences offered up by the demon. Faust tries to
revoke his pact and damnation, but is dominated by Satan
and his doubts.
11.
12. CHARACTERS
• Faust - bored scholar
• Mephistopheles - the devil
• Lord - God; also known as the Lord of Heaven
• Gretchen - innocent but alluring village girl
• Helen - most desired woman in the classical world
• Emperor - fun-loving ruler of the Holy Roman Empire
• Wagner - dedicated and ambitious student of alchemy
• Homunculus - smart and curious being created by
alchemy

14. MEPHISTOPHELES Since, O Lord, you near me once
again,
To ask how all below is doing now,
And usually receive me without pain,
You see me too among the vile crowd.
Forgive me: I can’t speak in noble style,
And since I’m still reviled by this whole crew,
My pathos would be sure to make you smile,
If you had not renounced all laughter too.
You’ll get no word of suns and worlds from me.
15. How men torment themselves is all I see.
The little god of Earth sticks to the same old way,
And is as strange as on that very first day.
He might appreciate life a little more: he might,
If you hadn’t lent him a gleam of Heavenly light:
He calls it Reason, but only uses it
To be more a beast than any beast as yet.
16. He seems to me, saving Your Grace,
Like a long-legged grasshopper: through space
He’s always flying: he flies and then he springs,
And in the grass the same old song he sings.
If he’d just lie there in the grass it wouldn’t hurt!
But he buries his nose in every piece of dirt.
17. GOD Have you nothing else to name?
Do you always come here to complain?
Does nothing ever go right on the Earth? 295
MEPHISTOPHELES No, Lord! I find, as always, it couldn’t
be worse.
I’m so involved with Man’s wretched ways,
I’ve even stopped plaguing them, myself, these days.
GOD Do you know, Faust?
MEPHISTOPHELES The Doctor?
GOD My servant, first!

lives of humans. People tend to want instant gratification
and we live in a century of moral crisis and temptations of
power in different forms.
