A review by quisby
The Complete Plays by Christopher Marlowe
3.0
A bit uneven. Dido and Tamburlaine I and II read like the juvenilia of an Elizabethan Michael Bay. The Jew of Malta and Faust show sure signs of inspiration, but the characters are lifeless enough that I can almost forgive hyperbolic claims about a Shakespearean invention of the human, at least compared to these cardboard cutouts.
Interestingly, the most "alive" sections of both the Jew of Malta and Faust feature subordinate characters. Discuss.
