There are intimations of many rivalries, in his artistic endeavors as well as his romantic ones, charges over his religious affilliations and activities, as well as his moral character. Christopher Marlowe's stories are dark and bloody, without the happy endings with which Shakespeare often saw fit to finish his tales. Perhaps it was inevitable that his own life would be short and come to violent end, maybe due to a premonition or simply a reflection of more violent times. In reading Tamburlaine the Great, I found it interesting that repercussians of these past violent times can be found to the present day with Chechnyans still battling, centuries after Tamerlane, a descendent of Ghengis Khan, built a powerful empire through terror in this part of the world.
Marlowe's tales are not a fast read, but they are very well crafted and worth the time, if a little depressing and violent for some tastes. ( )
