Is Doctor Faustus a victim of free will or fate?

Destiny of Faurus' fate can be explained from two angles. For the most part, it depends on the person's personal belief. On the surface, Faustus is only responsible for his ultimate fate. After all, he has fully signed a contract with Lucifer according to his wishes. But for some religious interpretation of this story, especially for the interpretation of Calvinism, this is just an illusion. From the beginning of the time, God ordered some people to be cursed, but others will be saved. Nobody can change their destiny; it's all as scheduled
In this respect, the drama itself is somewhat vague. On the contrary, I should say two different versions of the drama. A good angel of so-called sentence A seems to indicate that Faust has the opportunity to repent his sins.
However, this is inconsistent with the overall condition of sentence A, which strongly suggests that Faust can not condemn his remedy for the consequence of concealing God's grace. However, in later B text, the words of Good Angel were subtlely changed as follows.
"Enable" means that there is the possibility of repenting the necessary free will, no matter how far away Faurus is.
If the fate of Faust is prescribed by God, why does a good angel seem to imply that he can repent? In addition, if nothing eventually changes, why is Mephistophilis constantly tempting him to distract him and asking for it? Perhaps good angels and Mephistophilis do not know the will of God. Well, there may be a gap between what you think is happening and what actually happens.
All of this is just speculation. There is no clear answer to this question. However, when dealing with free will and predefined problems there is no doubt that there is a qualitative difference between the A and B texts. A somewhat ambiguous picture drawn in two texts is the element of its Catholic and Calvinist and reflects the mixed theological heritage of the Episcopal Church of Marlow.
Dr. Faros was written by Marlow in an important Christian era, so the story comes from the early chapter, but he emphasizes the discussion of free will rather than discussing pagan conquests and religious ideas It is intended. Fate of Governance This is particularly true, as Protestant Reforms, whose free will will serve such prominent theological role, is a universal social topic and concern. Therefore, in the context of Dramatic writer Foster, the fall of Dr. Foster and the end of his fate were seen as a result of the unfair exercise of free will, which led to the theme of the play. Strength and function
The theme of fate and free will is a common theme explored by Dr. Faust play by Christopher Marlow. After all, Marlow seems to prove that Faust has free will. "Why should not you do this? Is not your soul yourself?" Here, Dr. Faustas will sign him if he is willing to sign the document, or if he chooses I said not to. Therefore, Christopher Marlow challenges the teaching of church planting using dramas. He believes that people are not bound by churchism, but can decide God's plan for themselves. Dr. Foster found someone contradictory to the choice he made, many of which were inconsistent with the morals of his era. But he accepted the enlightenment he wanted. He picked the right or wrong knowledge, eventually destroying him. So, Marlowe tells us to enjoy knowledge, but do not let us attract us from our roots, is it right or wrong?
Faustus said this when he signed a document that sealed his destiny. Do you think Marlowe is going to say about fate and free will through these lines and games? Your answer is at least 250 words.
Christopher Marlow's work, Dr. Fosters, showed this new tendency with free will as Faust made his own choice and decided his terrible fate. Therefore, the active role of God is limited in the drama, and the existence of the devil is emphasized by the will and ambition of Dr. Foster (Ingenberg). Because of his independence, the influence of God is reduced in Faust 's thought, and they hope t
