Everyman

by Anonymous

Everyman is a morality play, a genre popular in the late Middle Ages, that explores the universal themes of death, judgment, and salvation. The play follows the journey of Everyman, a representative figure of humanity, as he confronts his mortality and prepares for his final reckoning. Guided by the allegorical figures of Death, Fellowship, Kindred, Goods, and Good Deeds, Everyman learns the importance of living a virtuous life and facing death with faith and repentance. Through its dramatic structure and vivid symbolism, Everyman offers a profound reflection on the human condition, emphasizing the fragility of life and the enduring power of faith. It remains a timeless and relevant work, speaking to the anxieties and aspirations of audiences across centuries.
