fine-tune your thesis and adjust your outline as needed. Start developing your body paragraphs.

As you draft your body paragraphs, assume for the time being that your readers are familiar with the play; this way you would be able to build the framework of your argument, that is, an orderly sequence of claims and their supporting evidence, including your logical reasoning, some proof from the primary source, Doctor Faustus, and more backup from secondary sources, such as the play interpretations. Once this framework is logically and evidentially solid, remind yourself that some of your readers might not be familiar with this tragedy, so it is a good time to consider necessary background information: what and how much your readers should know to follow your argument; where in your text these pieces of background would serve your purpose and your readers best. This approach will prompt you what you should add without cluttering the writing with distracting facts and details. In fact, some of this background information could be placed where it is needed for clarity, and some other pieces could become part of your introduction, especially if such pieces prepare the readers for your thesis.

Do not underestimate the requirement to document your sources: cite them as you draft your writing . You are expected to provide the title of the analyzed play and the full name of its author (Christopher Marlowe), but there is no need to include the title of secondary sources in your text; their place is your list of works cited. Use only last-name references when you need to mention the authors of your sources. Feel free to substitute their names with appropriate equivalents, such as the playwright or a scholar.
