A 5 page paper discussing comic aspects of Marlowe's play. The expectation for a subject that amounts to a discussion with demonic forces is that of being completely somber, even to the point of being tragic. No observer could realistically expect there to be lighter moments in the three-way battle for Faustus' soul, that battle between Mephistophilis, the Good Angel and Faustus himself, but they are there, nonetheless, particularly in Faustus' musings of how throngs of spirits will serve him. References directly to the play, but no formal bibliography.
