The first lines of the Good Angel refer to this theme:
- O, Faustus, lay that damned book aside,
And gaze not on it, lest it tempt thy soul,
And heap God's heavy wrath upon thy head!
Read, read the Scriptures:—that is blasphemy.

Who was the tragic hero of 'Dr. Faustus'?
Dr Faustus was the tragic hero of 'The Tragical History of Dr Faustus'. He made a bargain with the Devil, for earthly knowledge and power. In exchange, he promised him his soul.The play was written by Christopher Marlowe [Baptized February 26, 1564-May 30, 1593], who died tragically at a young age, and under mysterious circumstances. Marlowe based his play on 'The Historie of the Damnable Life, and Deserved Death of Dr John Faustus', which was a translated retelling of a German legend. The German legend somewhat may have drawn on the experiences of Dr Johann Georg Faust [c. 1480-1540]. Faust received his divinity degree from Heidelberg University, in 1509. But he developed a reputation as an alchemist and magician of Knittlingen, Wurttemberg.

Hamlet's tragic flaw is?
He causes the death of every character in the play including himself. He mentally abuses Ophelia, by telling her he doesn't love her, then behaving sexually forward towards her. This begins Ophelia's madness. Hamlet then kills Polonius, a villainous act in itself, however he then carries on in the scene to ignore the dead body and continues to speak with his mother, finally dragging the body out of the room, hiding it, and then speaking in riddles when asked about the where abouts of the body. (The body is under the stairs(weird enough)) The murder of Polonius tips Ophelia over the edge and she kills herself. Her death would not have happened had Hamlet not mentally abused her then killed her father. He then kills Polonius' son, Laertes in a fight, during the fight his Mother, possibly knowning what was in the drink, and saving her son, drinks a poisoned drink meant for Hamlet. Hamlet then stabs Claudius, the only person which he aimed to kill at the start. However he is hurt from the fight and dies himself. Therefore he is a villain because causes all of the deaths, which is clearly not a characteristic of a tragic hero. The above is an excellent example of how blame for anything can be attached to anyone. Claudius, intending to kill Hamlet, poisons a drink which Gertrude intentionally or unintentionally drinks and dies; Hamlet is to blame for this. That is why it is a pointless endeavor to try to blame people in literary analyses. What distinguishes a villain from a hero is more probably motivation. Richard III is clearly a villain because he tells us in numerous soliloquys that he is killing people so he will be a king. Macbeth is a villain because whether the Scottish people know it or not, the audience knows that he has murdered a lot of people either to become king or to make himself safe.What are Hamlet's motivations? He kills Claudius to revenge his father's death, Polonius by accident, thinking he was Claudius, and Laertes in self-defence. The question of whether revenge is a moral or immoral activity was explored by Shakespeare in his early revenge play Titus Andronicus. In that play revenge only leads to more and greater revenges until everyone is dead. In Hamlet the issue is much more ambiguous. Indeed the play is so ambiguous in so many different ways that it would be possible to stage it playing Hamlet as a bloodthirsty young man who has formed an inordinate dislike for his uncle, and who is only held back from killing him right off by his own cowardice and his desire that his revenge should be as complete as possible.
