Themes of Everyman
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The story of "Everyman" is a morality play composed in the late 15th century that illustrates this primary theme: on judgment day God, the chief "accountant" of an individual's life, will only consider "good deeds" and not material possessions. We see that the arrival of "Death" throws Everyman into a worried state because he realizes his impending mortality. Everyman comes to learn that God does not put stock in material or worldly things, believing a man is morally bankrupt if these are all he possesses. On his journey, Everyman tries to discover any number of material things or entities that he can take with him to judgment day. Fellowship, Kinsmen, Goods, and Riches cannot accompany him on this journey, however; but Knowledge is able to help Everyman make his way
