Everyman

““Everyman” is a late fifteenth-century morality play” (Adu-Gyamfi & Schmidt, 2011, p. 265). It is also an allegories play, meaning, define from other book and cite. “This allusion is perceived as the writer’s compassion for everybody who experiences universals fear of death, pain and ageing and realizes absurdity of his/her passing life” (Rusak, 2011). This play shows that there is only one way to get to get Heaven and it is shown to the readers, very well, through these allegories. That one way is through good deeds. During the play, Everyman does not have a very close relationship with God, but something happens to him to change his ways. Throughout the play Everyman is challenged and is met by Death and introduced to deceiving characters

God sends Death to tell everyman that he is coming something like that cite. When Death shows up everyman realizes that he is not ready for Death to take him. He realizes that he has been living a very worldly life and now he must reap the consequences for the actions that he has made. Just as it says in Galatians 6:7 (NIV), “God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Death reminds everyman that he has to pay for the choices good and bad that he has made over his lifetime. When Death comes for everyman, he begs for another chance because he knows he has been living of the world. However, because God is forgiving, Death passes him and gives him another to chance to change. Everyman figures out his life before finally he does die. Just like in the play, God gives every man today a chance to come running back to

So, just like in the world today, in the play Everyman is desperate when Death comes for him and so his treatment is to turn to all these things of the world to name a few; such as, Fellowship, Goods, Beauty, and Strength. When everyman turned to Fellowship, which represented the friendships that he had with other people; however, after a while Fellowship quickly deserted him and would not agree to go with him when he died. Then, he turned to Goods. Goods represented everything that every man had, for example, that could be his money, job and everything his heart was really in instead if God. In Matthew 6:21 (NIV) it states, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Again, Goods would not agree to go with everyman when he died. He could not take these things with him to the grave. Again, he was let down by yet another worldly thing, so he turned to Beauty. Everyman knew for sure that Beauty was good and if everyman is beautiful it will surely be helpful. However, little did he know that, yet again, beauty is lost as a person ages. It too leaves a person just as the rest have. So Beauty will not follow a person to the grave either. Again, everyman is let down and so he turns to Strength, only to see that as one gets older a person gets weaker and weaker. “If worldly love has taken a hold of us in any form, this sin will separate us
