Detailed explanation-1: -Dr. Johann Georg Faust (c. 1480 or 1466–1541), widely considered to be an inspiration for the character Faust.
Detailed explanation-2: -Marlowe based the plot of his play on The History of the Damnable Life and Deserved Death of Doctor John Faustus (1592), an English translation of a German book (now known as the Faustbuch) about an actual historical figure who gained notoriety in early sixteenth-century Germany by dabbling in the occult.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, commonly referred to simply as Doctor Faustus, is an Elizabethan tragedy by Christopher Marlowe, based on German stories about the title character Faust. It was probably written in 1592 or 1593, shortly before Marlowe’s death.
Detailed explanation-4: -This difference is a reflection of the contrast in their writers’ character: Marlowe was decried for his defiance of God while Goethe known for his deference to God. Though they lived in different times, both articulated in their plays a vehement revolt against dogmatic religion.
