Abstract

Abstract Many writers are consciously or unconsciously engaged in spirituality and the relationship of man with the godhead. Some writers have been adjudged deeply spiritual, others have been regarded as ambiguous and ambivalent, and others have also have raised doubts about beliefs that have already been entrenched in the human psyche. This paper applies the Freudian and Fryean psychoanalytic schema in the examination of the literary representation of spiritual experiences in Christophe Marlowe's Dr. Faustus. In the analysis, the focus is on the depth of philosophical thought, psychological insight and narrative vision of the playwright to illuminate Marlowe's perception of religion, divinity, eternity, martyrdom, fate and belief. The paper concludes that Marlowe's Dr. Faustus is rich in its perception of the human psychological landscape, conceptualization of human nature, imaginative scope and emotional depth, particularly in its representation of spiritual experiences in the text.
