The pursuit of forbidden knowledge or power typically ends in chaos or tragedy. Discuss the grab for power in works, such as Doctor Faustus, Othello, Macbeth, and Paradise Lost. Be sure to take context (social, political, etc.) into consideration when framing your argument. Optional Questions to Consider:
What motivates these characters in their pursuit?
What are the effects of this pursuit?
Are women dealt with differently than men regarding this pursuit?
Supply ample textual evidence from all works referenced and include a page/line/act number citation. The more the better 🙂
