Doctor Faustus & the Devil’s Bargain | Christopher Marlowe’s Chilling Masterpiece

Welcome to Grandpa and the Goddess of Poetry, where timeless literature meets today’s reflections.

In this episode, we delve into Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe — a haunting Elizabethan play about the price of ambition, the terror of damnation, and the fleeting nature of beauty.

You'll hear two stunning passages:

Faustus’s final hour as he begs the heavens for mercy before being taken by the devil

His rapturous vision of Helen of Troy — “the face that launched a thousand ships”

🕯️ Marlowe, a brilliant playwright and contemporary of Shakespeare, wrote Doctor Faustus as a warning tale about selling one’s soul for power and pleasure — a "Faustian Pact."

🗝️ Today’s thought: "Short-term pleasure is never worth eternal regret."
