Abstract : Language & literature are the reflections of our life. They hold up the mirror not only to the physical world around us but also to our intellectual & psychological response to it. Eventually they become the great reservoirs of popular wisdom. We turn towards them time & again to interpret our own experiences. However every time we examine them they seem to suggest something new. Depending upon our present situation, they throw a new light on some old story. The present paper will try to re-interpret Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus from the view point of modern science.
