In what senses is Faustus a man of his time?

- Why does Faustus refer to the city of Wittenberg?

- Why does Wittenberg have to "be sacked"?

1) Faustus’ philosophy of life is not the mediaeval motto ‘memento mori’: (he tries to forget he is mortal). More like the Renaissance motto ‘carpe diem’.

2) He is a scientist and a discoverer, someone who wants to know everything

3) He is familiar with the Greek (and Roman) mythology and literature,  this is typical of the Renaissance man.

4) He displaces God from the centre of his life. Faustus deliberately turns aside from Christianity: he does not dispute the truth of Christian teaching, but chooses to take another path.

Why does Faustus refer to the city of Wittenberg?
This was the city where in 1517 Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to the church door. Therefore, Wittenberg was the birthplace of the Reformation.

Why does Wittenberg have to "be sacked"?
Even though people accused him of being an atheist, Marlowe was and remained a catholic (at least in action)
