Abstract
This research paper seeks to analyze the impact of seven deadly sins by comparing Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus and Pakistani drama Sang-e-Mar-Mar (2016). Essentially qualitative in nature, and through comparative assessment; both the works are evaluated and analyzed to highlight their similarities in relation to seven deadly sins. Pertaining to the universality of human nature, this paper argues and adds to the existing criticism that the presence of seven deadly sins is the real cause of society's degeneration and is a threat to humanity regardless of time and age. Thus, by comparing the two selected texts, this paper seeks to ascertain the potential of Sang-e-Mar-Mar to bring awareness regarding the subject at hand. The two works are compared using intertextuality and thematic analysis.
