Dr. Faustus has been the subject of several research works endeavoring to contribute to a more understanding of this remarkable dramatic work. Approaches inevitably differ and cover a vast range of critical possibilities. The present paper attempts to discuss the play from the specific angle that it is essentially a drama of inversion. It depends on a close independent reading of the text rather than assessing other points of view. In fact, inversion, particularly of Christian values, suffuses the play and explains many important situations that could otherwise be either vague or misinterpreted.
