The Seven Deadly Sins appear in a scene in Doctor Faustus. Please refine the question for a more specific response.
Dr Faustus sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge.
In the play "Dr. Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus dies at the end of the story. As his pact with the devil nears its end, Mephistopheles, the demon assigned to him, fulfills his part of the bargain by tearing Faustus limb from limb. Faustus's death serves as a tragic reminder of the consequences of making deals with dark forces.
A tragedy is the type of play that Dr. Faustus is. The full title of the play is The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus. It was written by Christopher Marlowe.
The Seven Deadly Sins appear as a pageant in Christopher Marlowe's play Dr. Faustus (II.iii) - the devil Mephistopheles brings them on as a kind of circus act to distract Faustus from an interest in saying his prayers.Pageants of the Seven Deadly Sins seem to have been common in medieval literature, there is a similar very gaudy display of the Vices in Edmund Spenser's poem The Faerie Queene - by far the most popular narrative poem of the Elizabethan period. (They appear as coachmen to Lucifera's chariot in Book I of the poem).Marlowe himself was accused of atheism, and there are many passages in his work which suggest there may have been some grounds to the charge. He would have enjoyed scaring his audience rigid with a show of devils he himself did not believe in.
Dr. Faustus
The plays Tamburlaine and Dr. Faustus were written by Christopher Marlowe. Marlowe was an English, poet, playwright, and translator during the Elizabethan era.
Marlowe portrays the struggle between good and evil in "Dr. Faustus" through the character of Faustus himself. Faustus is torn between his desire for knowledge and power, represented by his pact with the devil, and his fear of damnation. This internal conflict highlights the consequences of pursuing immoral deeds at the expense of one's soul, ultimately leading to Faustus' tragic downfall.
They were written by Christopher Marlowe(1564-1593)
