- Free-Will and Repentance in Dr. Faustus In Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus, the theme of free-will is manifested throughout the play but the necessity of repentance is not actually demonstrated.

- ... not even realize that there were comic scenes. Only after being told and after watching the movie did I realize that there were comic scenes.
