Abstract

The themes of mankind's redemption from sin and his place in the afterlife are of central importance to the Middle English play everyman and the Renaissance play doctor faustus by Christopher Marlowe. Both everyman and doctor faustus concentrate on the redemption of mankind, but because of the different periods in which the two pieces were written, they differ in style. And the difference in style determines each main character's respective salvation or condemnation. This essay will argue that the character everyman is redeemed in accordance with the type of stories written in the Middle English period-stories that focused on god and the values possessed by god and a Christian audience. And by contrast, this essay will argue that the character doctor faustus is damned in accordance with the type of stories written in the Renaissance period-stories that shifted focus from god to the individual as values shifted in the same manner.
