What is the audience supposed to think about faustus after the chorus?

From the onset becuase of the appearance of a chorus we are immediatley fooled to believe we are going to be told the plot and outcome of Marlow's play. As in the day this is what a chorus was used for, however contrastingly the dialouge of the chorus just leaves the audience in confusion and a debate in their mind as to whether see faustus as 'good' or 'evil'. The dialoge of the Chorus also furthers this by reffering to the positive and negative and positive points of faustus ' his parents base of stock' this highlights that he was brought up from a low social status but worked his way up to 'wittenberg' a scholarship, thus highlighting to the audience his determination to make something of himself. However is also described as 'cunning' and the fact he is sadid to be 'falling to a develish exercise' gives the impression that he like satan through pride was cast out of heaven . This idea is reitterated through the iccarus story 'waxen wings.. mount above his reach' highlighting the idea of pride being his hamartia.

On the other hand other critics would argue that ' heavens conspired his overthrow' making the point that heaven came up with the idea for this and in essence it was just inevitable that this is what was going to happen. Marlow here could possible be making a hint about Gods creation of satan, that it was inevitable what was going to happen and back to faustus therefore he must be seen as blameless. This idea would link with the fact that Marlow tells the audience to 'patient judgements' even him knowing what faustus has done the worst posssible sin to sell his soul to the devil tells an audience to not judge to quickly could not only be an idea in the audience's mind that they should be careful what they think but also links very closely to the at the time obscure ideas of Marlow.

Finally the fact that the chorus ends the last six lines in a view that Faustus isn't good could be a  suggestion of how things are going to end, However the fact that it gives no clear judgement removes inevitability this could be suggesting that even the Chorus cannot secide Faustus fate or possibly insinuate that they cannot be incontrol of his judgement, highlighting the seriousness to the play or it could be there to highlight that there is a way out for faustus and nothing is final until the last minute and that is what we see at the end to the last moment he is in charge of his fate, and god can be accepted art any time, which could be an overal moral to the play.
