![]() ![]() Tamburlaine can be viewed as hero and/or villian.Īnd, it being Renaisance drama, there are some spectacular death scenes-Edward II's anal cruxifiction, Brabas's boiling alive, Faustus's dismemberment, and the Admiral's hanging/shooting to name a few. Judgement of the characters is (for the most part) left to the reader. The best thing about Marlowe's plays is the level of respect for the audience. Marlowe's plays, while not on the same level as Shakespeare's best, are far and away superior to any other Renaisance era dramatist (See also, Thomas Kyd, Ben Johnson, or Richard Wharfinger-if you can find him hehe.) ![]() The Complete Plays includes all of Marlowe's plays (well, obviously.) As a bonus it includes the rather fragmentory Massacre at Paris (which many critics theorize is a corupt, unfinished, or damaged text) in a scene division only format and both editions of Doctor Faustus. Not quite Shakespeare, but good-great Compliation ![]()
