Re: aqa english lit b a2; DOCTOR FAUSTUS NOTESIn the book itself it has loads of different ideas for interpretations and context etc.
Structure wise you can look at when Prose is used in comparison to Blank Verse, for example look at Faustus lines in comparison to Rafe and Robin.. Decorum basically.
Language you can look at where you is used in comparison to thou, as that looks into status. For example Faustus says to Mephistopheles 'Thou art too ugly to attend on me' - The use of 'thou' shows his Hubris because of course it is Mephistopheles who takes him to hell at the end of the play therefore he is an important character yet Faustus doesn't think he is.
There is so much I can talk about ahah get in touch with me if you need more information
