Abstract
Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus and Fincher's movie Seven both rely on the motif of the seven deadly sins and their punishment. On the surface, the protagonists seem to be quite different and so does each author’s treatment of them. Faustus is an exceptional individual who strives to achieve superior knowledge, but fails due to his excessive pride and vanity. Fincher’s John Doe is a psychopath who wishes to punish others for their sins. Both of them, however, commit the ultimate sin of trying to play God for which they are punished. While Faustus explicitly ends up in Hell, his soul forever damned, the viewer can only assume that the same happens to John Doe after his violent death.
