hi

Today's lesson:

Not sure what my opinion on Dr Faustus is yet. I feel a bit sorry for him as the good angel wont let him practice magic, and I've always wanted to be a wizard too so I can understand his dilemma. Plus, I'm sure most people would secretly like to rule the world and only don't because they're not clever enough, so Dr F is really only doing what a lot of people in his position would do. I think we should give Dr F a break, and, as the Chorus says, "make patient judgements" and not be too hasty in calling him crazy or arrogant.

I also quite like the way Marlowe uses apostrophes instead of 'e's in his words, for example: "grac'd" and "esteem'd". I think I might start doing that in my essays.

So anyway I really enjoy'd today's lesson, and thanks for the cake Mr F, it was really nice

also, just noticed that the character of Dr Faustus is really similar to Dr Frankenstein's character.. I think Mary Shelley maybe read Dr Faustus before writing Frankenstein
