A detailed Summary of The Old Mans Speech in Version


The Old Mans speech in version A of The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe seems to be coming from a kinder, more compassionate Old Man than in version B. In version A, it seems to be coming from someone who deeply cares about Dr. Faustus, and is talking from a friend's standpoint. In version B the Old Man seems to be talking from more of an authoritative position. One in which the Old Man is not a friend but someone assigned to reprimand Dr. Faustus for his wrongdoings.
