Abstract
Milton's eve and Marlowe's Doctor faustus were duped into spiritual doom in pursuit of knowledge, both seeking knowledge bought power at the expense of their spirit. Doctor faustus sells his soul to Satan, exchanging it for knowledge of magic, while eve ignores God's command not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge so that she may gain knowledge of good and evil. However, it is not only a thirst for knowledge, but the deepest pride and greed, which leads them both to spiritual jeopardy, for both seek not just knowledge to its own end, but rather hope to become godlike.
