Students presented their visual representations of Shelley's novel before the class considered the question: TO WHAT EXTENT CAN MARLOWE'S PLAY BE CONSIDERED A CONTROVERSIAL TEXT? [The specific area of the text being considered was Scene 7].
Students discussed the religious controversy that links to this scene and considered the scene in the context of the sixteenth century and within a contemporary context. Discussion also considered how Mephistophilis seems to control Faustus in this scene. Students produced a two paragraph written response to the question. Students need to be aware of the Catholic/Protestant context of this play.
HOMEWORK: Complete the second draft of the Anthology coursework. Any issues or problems, pop into the department or zap me an e-mail. KEEP READING FAUSTUS AND FRANKENSTEIN.
