Young Marlowe

This was my first experience reading Christopher Marlowe. It was amusing to read this play after watching Shakespeare in Love and the scene when all the actors perform the lines about the face that launched a thousand ships.
Marlowe does have some nice lines in Dr. Faustus, but overall I'm not that impressed. I don't see how Marlowe can be considered a possible author of Shakespeare's plays from this work.
To his credit, Marlowe does give a full portrait of Faustus. We see his arrogance and always his fear. In some ways, the play becomes more dramatic as it draws to its end. Faustus himself is the only fully-developed character in my opinion.
This seems like a play of someone whose best work is still to come.
