Fate and free will is a crucial theme dealt by Christopher Marlowe, particularly in chapter five, where Faustus expresses these lines: Ah, there it stay’d. Why should’st thou not? Is not thy soul thine own?, In this chapter he decides willingly to sell his soul to Lucifer, but when he is willing to make the bargain, and he stabs his arm in an attempt to write the deed in blood, the blood congeals, so that it was impossible for Faustus to write his name, in other words he couldn’t sign the agreement with Lucifer. At that point of the story he wondered whether that was fate, if his own blood was protecting him, and saving him, preventing his soul to be sold to Lucifer. However, he finalized the pact with Lucifer and discovered on his arm the inscription “O, man fly”. That could be interpreted as a warning from God to Dr, Faustus to be free to live his fate instead of selling his soul to Lucifer. Thus, Fausto started wondering if he should repent and trust God. However, Fausto was lured by Lucifer and his evil angels; in spite of the fact of the different sign he saw that could have been a clear message to follow God , he willingly sold his soul to the devil.  

All things considered, Fausto could have follow his fate, be free, not signing the pact when his blood congealed. However, he felt free to decide which path to follow by signing it and selling his soul.  So, Marlowe is remarking that we all have a fate, but that fate does not condemn us, our own decision do, because we have free will to make our own decisions and make mistakes, even though if those mistakes are fatal.

How is the conflict between the twins resolved? What does the resolution suggest about the Iroquois’ view of both twins? Support
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The conflict between the twins is resolved with the defeat of Flint, the twin for evil purposes. This kind of resolution shows that for the Iroquois the twins had a strong influence on our world, but even though the twin is barely influential, he is not pareo to defeat the good twin

Explanation:

The Iroquois explained the creation of the world through a myth that explained that everything we know in the world was created by two divine twins called Sapling and Flint. Sampling was kind and created everything good that we know in nature, but Flint was mean and modified his brothers' creations by adding bad elements, such as winter and fish bones.

For the Iroquois, the twins represented good and evil. One day, they went to war and although the evil twin has great strength, he was defeated by the good twin, however it is still possible to feel Flint's evils through volcanic eruptions.

Plagiarism quiz
GaryK [48]
Something is plagiarism if one takes material from another source and uses it without pointing toward that source, thus making it appear that it is originally written.

1. No, this is not plagiarism since she herself is the original writer, thus she is not stealing content from anybody else.<span>

2. According to Casey Berry of Sciences Ltd., "Only 6% of students wash their hands after class." This first choice is not plagiarism, since the student has cited the researcher Casey Berry, and has enclosed the directly copied statement in quotation marks. In contrast, the second choice mentions "a recent study" without any direct mention of who did the study, and it copies the conclusion verbatim without using quotation marks.

3. This is not plagiarism, since she places a hyperlink to the source, thus acknowledging that what she has written is not her own original material. However, this is considered bad practice, to simply link to a source without describing what it has done or which parts specifically you have taken from it. You would not probably be sued in court for plagiarism, but it is still advisable to describe what the source has done.

4. No, this is not plagiarism. He has used quotation marks for direct quotes. The paraphrased information does not need quotation marks. Hyperlinks and attributions have been provided for each, so there are no issues with this kind of writing.

5. Yes, this is plagiarism. The BlogMutt writer got information from another post (which may or may not have been original material, we do not know), and did not attribute that post. Furthermore, this write-up is for a customer, not merely for discussion in forums, so pretending that the information on the post is his own is not only plagiarism, but it is also business dishonesty as he is stealing someone's work and selling it to a customer as his own.</span>
