Dr.Faustus is the greatest of Marlove's plays,in which the old German legend is freely reshaped.Faustus is a great scholar who has a stong desire to acquire all kinds of knowledge.He is bored of his present study on the academic curriculum and turn to black magic.By conjuration he calls up Mephistophilis,the Devil's servant.Faustus makes a bond to sell his soul to the Devil in return for twenty-four years of life in which he may have the services of Mephistophilis to give him everything he desires.With the help of the Devil,Faustus brings his magical art into full play,meanwhile Faustus has experienced much internal conflict,symbolized in the appearances of both Good Angel and Bad Angel.In the final scene,there remains only the terrifying soliloquy in which the anguish of the hero's mind is poignantly pressed.(reference: http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_59a22f2b0100azgr.html The above is taken from'Selected Readings In English And American Literatures'the editor in chief:张伯香 subeditor:马建君 胡晓红 Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press.Reproduction of material without written permission is strictly prohibited. exiven@163.com is my email,Contact me for permission to copy this artical,hope more experts can make comments on it.) 克里斯托夫 马洛的最伟大的代表作是《浮士德博士的悲剧》,它的故事取材于德国传奇,浮士德是一位 伟大的学者,渴求各方领域的知识。他对中世纪一成不变的学科深感厌烦,开始转向一种黑色魔术。通过 咒语他结识了梅菲斯特,也就是魔鬼的仆从。浮士德与魔鬼签立了协议,他将自己的灵魂卖给魔鬼作为回 报,魔鬼则要在此后的二十四年里满足浮士德所有求知的愿望。在魔鬼的帮助下,他尽情施展魔术,与此 同时,浮士德还经历了内心的矛盾与斗争,这是通过善天使与恶天使同时出现的情节来表达出来的。在最 后一幕,只剩下一段恐惧的独白,生动透彻地揭示了浮士德内心的巨大痛苦。(希望更多专家学者补充相关资料,恶意篡改资料视为侵犯著作权,如需转载须经同意,并标注出处。以上参考了英语语言学与应用语言学 网站:http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_59a22f2b0100azgr.html 《英美文学选 读》主编:张伯香副主编:马建君 胡晓红外语教学与研究出版社) |
