Critical Analysis of Doctor FaustusIn this essay, the critical approach of (the mythological and archetypal approach) played a great role in forming my opinion on the classic book “Doctor Faustus”. to my knowledge, mythology does not meet our current standards of factual reality, but unlike the 16th century when this play was presented, men like Faustus viewed myth as a fundamental and dramatic representation of the deepest instinctual life of the universe. how Faustus gives a spectacle to the Emperor and the Duke of Vanholt. The main thesis or climax of this play is when Faustus, two friends Valdes and Cornelius, magicians, teach him the ways of magic. Faustus uses this magic to summon a devil named Mephistophilis. Faustus gives his soul to Lucifer (Satan), in exchange for keeping Mephistophilis for 24 years. We also see what happens when magical power falls into the wrong hands when Mephistophilis punishes Robin, a clown, and his friend Ralph for trying to do magic with a book they stole from Faustus. At first, the angels visit Faustus, and each time he wonders whether or not he should repent, but the devil appears and warns him not to by tempting him to possess magic. At the end of the play, the two good and evil angels have been replaced by an old man who pushes Faustus to repent? But it is too late and the play ends with the devil taking him out of hell. The main reason I chose this critical approach is that this piece established a meaningful relationship with archetypes and their patterns. Elements such as archetypal images played an important role in this piece. For example (page 32, line 8), there is talk of a circle, referring to Jehovah's protection. As an archetypal image, it refers to wholeness and unity. Also between (lines 16-24), Mephistophilis wants to get rid of the trinity of Jehovah, saying: "Greet the spirits of fire, air, water" and the word welkin (page 31, line 4) . This implies that the first and second images are archetype images. Other major keys that exist in the critical analysis of this play are the number seven, which is considered the most powerful of all symbolic numbers. In the play, seven is linked to the seven deadly sins: pride, lust, envy, anger, gluttony, sloth and lust..
