【正确答案】正确答案:Marlowe creates his great heroes such as Tamburlaine, Dr. Faustus, and Barabas, who override the ordinary moral codes of their times in an effort to find the complete realization of their particular ideals. Marlowe perceived that tragic action must issue from, and be reflected in, the individual. Though death comes to all Marlowe" s tragic heroes, the kernel of his play lies rather in the struggle of a brave human soul against forces that in the end prove too great for it. This conception of serious drama-Renaissance virtue battling on to success and then falling unconquered before fate-is at the root of all the great Elizabethan tragic activity, and is one of Marlowe" s most outstanding contributions to the development of a truly august type of English tragedy. Marlowe gave English tragedy its true meter and diction. It was Marlowe who made the wooden blank verse into a trumpet, blaring out poetry and eloquence " in high astounding terms. " Marlowe exerted the most important influence over Shakespeare. His importance is due to the energy with which he endowed the blank verse line. His plays have great intensity, but they show a genius, which is epic rather than dramatic. He is the greatest discoverer, the most daring and inspired pioneer, in English literature. Before him there was neither genuine blank verse nor genuine tragedy in the English language.
