Tamburlaine

This study concentrates on the plot, character, and image in these plays and it explores the life and temperament of the three protagonists Tamburlaine, Barabas, and Faustus in the light of Greek mythological figures Phaethon, Midas, and Icarus.

论文从情节、人物及意象三个方面展开，将主人公帖木儿、巴拉巴斯、浮士德的经历和性格与法厄同、弥达斯、伊卡洛斯这三个希腊神话人物进行比较分析。

Tamburlaine lives a military life, longing to have infinite power.

帖木儿戎马一生，对权力怀有无限渴望。

Both Tamburlaine and Faustus are typical in possessing such a spirit.

帖木儿和浮士德是具有这一精神的典型。

The central figure, Edward Ii himself, instead of being aggressive and overpowering, as are Tamburlaine and Faustus, is sentimental and weak.

中心人物爱德华二世本身不是像帖木耳和浮士德那样敢做敢当，压倒一切，而是禀性软弱，多愁善感。
