The Lost Childhood of Dr. Faustus

I enjoyed reading this play. As I read it I find it difficult to sympathise with the good doctor. Is he really good? I see Faustus as a man that has accomplished so much in his life, that he has become bored with his life. As I read this play I pictured him not as a man but a young child. we know how children behave. They tend to start something then end up becoming bored with that activity, then move on to the next thing that they find interesting. This man is so unsatisfied with his life, that he calls upon demons and the devil himself. I think he took his loneliness too seriously. I can feel for the man in some ways. As a student, you will not have time for other things like, having relationships, clowning around and just having fun. Faustus was deprived of a childhood. He did not have a chance not worry about things like school and just have a natural curiosity in life. There is nothing in the play that speaks about his childhood, but we can guess that his schooling was serious enough to keep him occupied from the gifts childhood can give us. the natural curiosity of the world, experiencing love, and just relaxing.  While reading this play, I feel that Marlowe is trying to tell us that having our own mind and it is important to think things through. I can't sympathise with someone that chooses that wrong path because they feel like it. He knows that making a deal with the devil is not a right decision, but does it anyway. If I was Faustus I would have wished to become a child again because that is what he is acting like.
