    In “Doctor Faustus” by Christopher Marlowe, the seven deadly sins are personified as characters that tempt the titular character, Doctor Faustus. Here are the seven deadly sins and a brief description of their role in the play:

    1. Pride: The sin of excessive self-love and vanity. In the play, Pride appears as a “mighty devil” who tempts Faustus with promises of wealth and power.

    2. Covetousness: The sin of greed and desire for material possessions. In the play, Covetousness appears as a “foul devil” who tempts Faustus with the promise of wealth and treasure.

    3. Wrath: The sin of anger and vengeance. In the play, Wrath appears as a “furious devil” who encourages Faustus to seek revenge against his enemies.

    4. Envy: The sin of jealousy and resentment towards others. In the play, Envy appears as a “jealous devil” who urges Faustus to be envious of the success of others.

    5. Gluttony: The sin of overindulgence in food and drink. In the play, Gluttony appears as a “jolly devil” who tempts Faustus with feasts and banquets.

    6. Sloth: The sin of laziness and apathy. In the play, Sloth appears as a “drowsy devil” who encourages Faustus to waste his time and neglect his studies.

    7. Lust: The sin of excessive sexual desire. In the play, Lust appears as a “lecherous devil” who tempts Faustus with the promise of sensual pleasure.

    These sins serve as a recurring motif throughout the play, tempting Faustus to abandon his quest for knowledge and salvation and leading him towards damnation.
