In re-visioning and re-visiting history, the play writes across the world glances the historical figures
in their own unique and distinctive way, and not as it is revealed in their cultural, social, and
psychological boundaries. So for doing so, they add the flamer of their own unique creativity and
apply exclusive ways to bring the past appear in their present work of art, and there for, historical
character like Tamburlaine, appears totally in Marlovian avatar. But Marlovian view point, and
what Marlowe is trying to unveil can be better understood in the beam of Bakhtin's Carnivalism. It
is a method or a process, which sub-alters those believe or standard which is generally consider as
rules or a norms. It has created a new, or a parallel world which stands in existence beside the real
world. Marlowe, through his work has tried to alter the historical truth, for example the events in
the second part of Tamburlaine, is totally the product of Marlovian creativity, and has nothing to
do with historical fact, which is quite in line with the general understanding of Bakhtin's
Carnivalism, probably he did this to attract the modern and his contemporary writers and thinkers.
Parallel to this, he has tainted different faith and religion specially Islam. Therefore, this paper has
a clear goal to put illumination on the different characteristic of Tamburlaine The Great, so that it
can be designated that how this drama from the nib of Marlowe has manifested the social condition
as well as the religious scenario of Elizabethan age in the ways of Bakhtin's Carnivalism
