Dr Faustus thinking activity

1)The play directed by Matthew Dunster for Globe theatre ends with this scene (see the image of Lucifer). What does it signify?
Ans: By seeing this picture of Dr Faustus' last scene in globe theatre drama we can observe this picture as that Lucifer won in the end she became successful in his idea to take a faustus's soul as a devil.
Lucifer with wings and much confidently show his power, and his win feeling seen in his personality, his power is power got by soul of dead Dr Faustas.
2)Is God present in the play? If yes, where and how? If No, why?
Ans: yes, god existed in the play it is the good angle and an old man. But we can not say them really a god but a kind of messenger of god who warns Faustus at particular point of the play. The entire play can be seen as the tragedy of a man who goes against the God and challenges the God, so we can say that their is the existence of God because without a God challenge can not possible. According to Christianity and their Bible God is everywhere and we should not forget that this play or a character of Dr Faustus is also the kind of portion of this world after all.
3) What reading and interpretation can be given to this image (see the image of Daedalus and Icarus) with reference to central theme of the play Dr. Faustus?
Ans: we can see here the picture of Icures and Faustus falling down to the earth.
we can say that this fall has happened because of their own fault and their hubris (excessive pride).
