Kit Marlowe in Born With Teeth: *leaps off the table like this*

Kit Marlowe: *perfectly sticks the landing and doesn't castrate Will Shakespeare*

Me: Holeeeee shit, that must have needed a lot of rehearsal.

Doctor Faustus summons Mephistopheles

Imagine going through all the trouble of summoning a demon and then choosing to be mean.

I was skimming through Dr. Faustus by Marlowe and noticed he went to the University of Wittenberg. As in the same school Hamlet and Horatio went to

One half of my brain is thinking, "makes sense. Marlowe and Shakespeare were contemporaries, influenced each other's work, and would have similar levels of knowledge. And Wittenberg was probably a school that some people would have at least heard of"

The other half is "omg crossover???"
