What is the character of Dr. Faustus from Marlowe’s play and how this character exemplifies Elizabethan drama in general?

What will be an ideal response?

The character of Dr. Faustus owes a great debt to the morality plays of the previous century, as the play centers on Dr. Faustus’s turn toward black magic and even incorporates a morality play of the Seven Deadly Sins. The moral struggle is directly portrayed in one scene in which the Good Angel and the Bad Angel fight for control for Faustus’s conscience. The blending of tragic and comic modes would become a standard feature of the Elizabethan stage. Faustus’s unquenchable thirst for the unattainable defines Marlowe’s tragic hero, and that constitutes the type of hero that is his most important gift to the theater and comes to exemplify Elizabethan drama.
