That fear is justified.
In one scene of this play, the protagonist visits Pope Adrian VI, whom the protagonist tricks into releasing the Emperor Charles V's nominee for pope. That release earns him the friendship of the emperor, although one of Charles' knights, Benvolio, tries to kill the protagonist after he humiliates Benvolio by putting antlers on his head. Earlier in this play, Cornelius and Valdes visit the protagonist, causing two other scholars to fear that he has fallen into "that damnèd art" for which those two are infamous. That fear is justified. One of the last acts the protagonist performs is to summon Helen of Troy, before his "four and twenty years expire" and he is dragged to Hell. For ten points, name this Christopher Marlowe play, the "tragical history" of the title doctor.
