What is the author's style in Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe?

The language of this play is Old English. The play was written in the sixteenth century, therefore the language of the play reflects the time period and education level of the playwright. There is quite a bit of slang common to that time period in the play as well as words that some modern readers might not fully understand. However, the language is lyrical, an old language that brings a certain elegance to the play.
