The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the elements of Gothic literature precisely in the work of Christopher Marlowe. This analysis is also based on other studies as well as on the original copy of the book. Initially, we will summarize Marlowe's life and his career as a writer. Rather, the author will focus on a deeper analysis based on the elements of Gothic literature and its periods. Finally, he will take a look in some other information about the work.
Gothic literature is a literary genre that combines fiction, horror, death, and even in some cases romance. Even though Gothic Literature was introduced around the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century in England, the Gothic term itself has its beginnings in the 3rd to 4th century, presenting a German barbarian tribe who invaded Rome, to continue later with other countries. Given the topics that this kind of literature deals with, we can say that it is not sufficiently familiar or widespread. Horace Walpole is thought to be the first author of these genera with his book "The Castle of Otranto", followed by many other authors such as Mary Shelly with "Frankenstein", Bram Stoker with "Dracula" and Christopher Marlowe with "Doctor Faustus".
