Jones IIIhellip;with the devil.Thanks to a fellow reviewer; I was privileged to see the operatic version of this classic tale under the summer night skies of Santa Fe. I knew the essence of the story prior to viewing the opera; but had never actually read one of the versions. The tale is based on Germanic folklore; and is set in that country; even though Christopher Marlowe is English. His was the first formal written version of the tale. Subsequent versions would be produced by Goethe and Thomas Mann ndash; and; of course there is the opera itself; written by Charles Gounod; and first produced in Paris; in 1859.Twenty four years of knowledge and power. That is the value Dr. Faustus places on his immortal soul. He will join Mephistophilis (one of the varying names for the devil) for all eternity for ldquo;hellip;letting him live in all voluptuousnesshellip;rdquo; ldquo;hellip;to give me whatsoever I shall ask; to tell me whatsoever I demand; to slay mine enemies; and aid my friendshellip;rdquo;Throughout Marlowrsquo;s version; he takes numerous jabs at organized religion; for example: ldquo;Both law and physic are for petty wits; Divinity is the basest of the threehellip;rdquo; and ldquo;Go; and return an old Franciscan friar; That holy shape becomes a devil best.rdquo; One of the themes of Marlowrsquo;s tale is that the bargain may have resulted from too much learninghellip; the desire to read it all. Hum!Once again the play is the thinghellip; as we have seen acted out over the one and a half yearshellip; the thirst for the power of the Presidency of the United States; and the seeming ldquo;anything goesrdquo; ethos. No lie; no trick is beneath anyone. A deep embrace of Mephistophilis; not for 24 years; but for four. But donrsquo;t get me startedhellip;As for Marlowersquo;s first formal version; written in the late 16th century; 4-stars; and I hope to read the more fully developed work of this tale as written by Goethe.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. only for die-hard Marlowe fansBy petergThe famous quote; "Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?" is from this play; but its downhill from there. No plot; no character development; no dramatic action. Faustus cant decide if hes made a good bargain with Lucifer; but the reader cant figure out what the arguments even are.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. wanted to see what the original story version was like; so I ordered this playBy STONE A JUDLINWatched the opera Mephistopheles; wanted to see what the original story version was like; so I ordered this play. Well--needless to say--the 2 are nothing at all alike. It was a short read with interesting author notes at the end.
