Hershon is absent-mindedly treating his son like a child‚ which he (Jed) somewhat takes offense to. They then cross the street‚ which is when

Hakeem Hunter March 27 ‚ 2013 English 3 In literature‚ evil often triumphs but never conquers. I think that this statement is saying that in works of literature evil might win the battle‚ as some may say‚ but it never wins the war. It could also mean that in all literature‚ there is always two sides. One being good and one being evil. The characters on the evil or bad side usually overpower the ones that are on the good side.

If the reader has no prior knowledge of how the world was in the Sixteenth century‚ then they would probably not uncover Marlowe’s hidden messages. There are many issues dealt with in the play‚ yet‚ they all follow a route to anti-Catholicism. All of the ideas dealt with are reminiscent of
