Lecture on Christopher Marlowe Doctor Faustus and Time’s Creditor

🔥 Tambourine at the Gallows — Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus A live, gothic-leaning academic lecture delivered in my peculiar lyrical voice — I hope you like it. In this episode I follow a single object — a tambourine hung above a stage-gallows — as it watches Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus turn knowledge-as-display into knowledge-as-consequence. The showman-scholar bargains with theology as though salvation were arithmetic, yet time answers as a creditor, collecting interest with every joke, page, kiss, and conjured spectacle. You’ll hear how Marlowe braids bargain theology with comic terror, so laughter becomes a trapdoor and entertainment becomes evidence. We move through sweat, wax, rope-hemp, wood grain, and candle-smoke — where the playhouse behaves like a confessional that charges admission, and where the audience becomes complicit, never merely entertained. If you’ve ever felt the urge to outrun your own choices by making them look clever, Faustus already knows your footsteps. ⏳ Inside the lecture: • Knowledge as performance vs. knowledge as lived moral argument • Devil as servant, debt as doctrine, time as collector • Why the comic scenes sharpen dread instead of easing it • The playhouse as ethical event: applause, complicity, consequence • The last hour: escape sought from self-made complexity 📚 Primary text: Christopher Marlowe, Doctor Faustus (A & B texts), alongside period contexts of conjuring, pamphlet fear, and public punishment culture. 🎧 Best with headphones — the lecture listens for what jingles in the dark. #Marlowe #DoctorFaustus #RenaissanceDrama #GothicLiterature #LiteraryLecture #TheatreHistory #Tragedy #Folklore #Ethics #earlymodern For more stories in this vein, visit my writer blog ⁠https://martinsmallridgewriter.blog
