Did I love this? Not really. I like more character driven narratives and this felt more... Morality driven? Idk. But hey, what can you expect from a play written back when Shakespeare was still toddling around (okay google feels me Shakespeare was nearly 30 but whatever, same thing).
Anyway, discussing it in class has given me more of an appreciation for bits of it, there was some interesting supplementary material, and I'm glad to have finally read my first Marlowe play.
