Dr. Faustus and Christian Morality In the play Doctor Faustus, the main character sells his soul to the devil, later dies and is sent to hell. A question that comes to mind while reading this book is: “Does Doctor Faustus have Christian morals?” Even if he is convinced that he is selling his soul to the devil, he may still have certain Christian beliefs. Some of the dialogue in the play gives signals that tell the reader whether Faustus has Christian morals. The cultural studies method is presented in this article because we are talking about someone's beliefs or morals. In this play, Marlowe shows the religious beliefs of Dr. Faustus. In Act I, Faustus has the opportunity to ask Mephostophilis everything he wants to know. Faustus asks where hell is and he wants information about hell. When the play begins, Faustus is not afraid of death and he later tells Mephostophilis "I think hell is a fable" (Marlowe 43). You can also assume that he believes that the only place you go after you die is heaven. Towards the end of the play, he believes that heaven and hell exist and that one can spend eternity there. Faustus could also be considered an atheist because, during certain acts of the play, he denies the existence of God and considers religion a false ritual. Faustus even invokes God: “Ah my God... I would cry, but the devil drains my tears” (96). The part of the play that best describes his beliefs takes place right after he sold his soul to the devil and decided whether or not to repent. He declares: “My heart is hardened, I cannot repent. I can barely name salvation, faith or heaven. Swords, poison, halters and my poisoned steel Are placed before me to bring me down....... I am resolved, Faustus will not repent" (45). When he finally asks for forgiveness and wants to repentance to God, he is refused and forced to spend eternity in hell The cultural studies method describes a person's morals or beliefs This may relate to other methods, but they are not as well described. in this play.In the play we learn what Faustus' religious beliefs are and how they relate to cultural studies The book was written in Shakespeare's time and what they knew about heaven or hell. is probably different from what we believe today..
