1st Soliloquy
1st Soliloquy
The first soliloquy of Doctor Faustus starts with a sense of optimism and
determination. We get an idea about Faustus’s optimistic and determine
characteristics. He is in his study room thinking about different sectors
of knowledge which will bring him ultimate power and honour. He
looked into philosophy, medicine, law, theology but he thinks there is no
miracle in these subjects rather than limitation. So he wants to open a
new domain of knowledge with an unconventional topic, necromancy.
He thought by practising necromancy he will be a demi-god.
