Along with the tragic main plot of the play there is a comic, less serious subplot as well. This essay will aid to show how the tragic main plot of Doctor Faustus interacts with the play's humorous subplot, the relation between the two plots, and how the occurrence of this subplot makes the play even more tragic.
