You are to write a reaction essay to the play Tragical History of Doctor Faustus that must be between 700-800 words (see instructions for more)

After watching the play, write a reaction essay of 700-800 words which incorporates the following: summarize and analyze what you feel is a key scene in the play which seems to criticize aspects of Christian dogma in a way that would in some degree be shocking, provocative, heretical etc. to the audience of the time period. Describe the scene and its performance including how it is staged, props, costumes, portrayal of the character etc. and how all of this helps bring the words of the play to life in way that connects with the audience. Similarly, in another paragraph, summarize and analyze a key scene in the play which seems to criticize an aspect or aspects of Humanism. Next, remark upon the play as whole within the context of the English canon of literature. In what ways is Faustus similar to More’s Utopia? How is it significantly different than the works of Chaucer or the epic poems Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? How does the play reflect the growing complexity and maturity of the English nation? Finally, react to the performance of the play. Is Faustus still relevant today? Did you find it engaging or boring? Do plays still have a place as an art form or are they dying a slow death, overshadowed by movies, multimedia, and VR? Add any other thoughts or reactions you like.

There is a video of the play saved to my computer. The file size is too large to attach so I must send it through chats or via a different method once the order is accepted.
