What did mrs Davis do with us...

• She spent a lot of time and work helping us understand that Dr Faustus can be seen as a morality play, which were popular at the time Faustus was written, the 1400s to the 1580s. She explained how Faustus held elements of a morality play, such as about ther fate of a single individual's soul, included vice and temptation characters to attempt to corrupt the Everyman's figure. A reform or relapse pattern is repeated several times.
• Increased our knowledge of renaissance ideas; the body and soul are linked with different elements and humours. Catholicism was banned in England and the Pope was considered by antichrist by some.
• went through some more acts in more detail and undestanding ideas, from this we learnt about low comedy and why it is important or effective in plays, especially in the time Faustus was written.
