AB  - Suggests that Romeo and Juliet  is "(at least in part) a creative response to Doctor Faustus" that rewrites moments of "spiritual transgression or terror" as "erotic moments." Points to both plays' exploration of idolatry, showing how in Romeo and Juliet, the lovers "valu[e] each other over all other considerations," including God and faith.
