Damnation

natural order of the world. Both Faustus and Dorian display arrogance as their hubris’, which is one factor contributing to their inevitable nemesis of damnation. Marlowe contextualises the play through the use of a Chorus, and thus dictates to the audience the extremity of a rogue tragic hero whose pursuit of absolute knowledge leads him to his damnation. Having enriched himself in the ‘fruitful plot of scholarism’ (l.15-16) and become ‘ravished’ (l.103) by philosophy, the use of a…

In Dr.Faustus by Christopher Marlowe, Faustus’ fall is the result of his own character flaw. Throughout the play, he has more than enough opportunities to repent and reach eternal salvation instead of eternal damnation. He encounters the good angel multiple times and even an old man perhaps representing God. These two angels attempt to change Faustus’ mind, but ultimately fail. Faustus knows from the beginning that he will not reach heaven because of the deal he makes with Mephostophilis. It is…

The use of pathetic fallacy in many works emphasizes the bond between society and nature; the occurrence of an unusual or frightening event in nature would reflect strife or danger to come in the near future.

limitless knowledge and power. His selfish urge to gain eternal knowledge along with the contract with Lucifer overpowered his understanding of what is true and good, and what is deceiving and evil; and this selfishness was paid by the eternal damnation of his soul. The power and knowledge gained unnaturally left Doctor Faustus unsatisfied and damned. Doctor Faustus attended Wittenberg, a prestige school, and there he studied theology (Marlowe 1128). He gained knowledge not only of theology,…

monotone voice. Although people should be uninterested in this man, he captures their attention. He entrances his audience. He goes by the name of Jonathan Edwards. Throughout “How to Know if You’re a Real Christian” and “The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners” Edwards builds his credibility through these two sermons with using scriptures from the Bible, an explanation of salvation, and successfully employing emotional appeals. However, towards the end of his sermons, his attempts to…

are. This metaphor is also used to describe God’s feelings towards humans. Humans are likened to spiders or “other loathsome insects” and therefore a feeling of anger is portrayed. Throughout his sermon, Jonathan uses metaphors to instill fear of damnation in the listeners, and emphasize that their sins have been predetermined by God and are irredeemable.

. Another atheist argument is that if God was the first cause, God must himself have been the effect of some cause. If not, then the premise that every effect has a cause is untrue, and God could not have created the universe because he could not have been "the first cause." There is just as much evidence that some other phenomenon created the universe, such as the Big Bang. Another argument for atheism examines the presence of evil on Earth. If God is omnibenevolent, how can he allow such evil…
