The following assignment is due by: Monday, April 11.

Faust Legend and The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus


  • Read page 844 and learn a little about Johann Wolfgang von Gothe.


  • Read page 845.  Make sure you can define romanticism and legend before you begin reading the story.
  • Read pages 846-850 and answer questions 1-5 on page 850.  Continue on and read pages 851-862 and answer questions 1-5 on page 862.  
  • Answer all questions on page 863.
  • Now you are going to do a small comparison reading where another author took the same legend and created his own play.  Before you read, click http://www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/clsc24.html to read a short biography of Christopher Marlowe.  Remember, if he had not died young, he may have been a better writer than Shakespeare.


  • Read pages 866-871 and answer questions 1-3 on page 871.
