Answer:

I think that most of the claims listed above could be argued well with specific evidence from Thoreau's essay, but I would be a little suspicious of one of the claims and downright skeptical about another one.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The morality that "Everyman" presents is that free will allows individuals to create their destiny, but that they are not controlled, nor dependent on that destiny, thus being free.

Explanation:

"The Somonyng of Everyman" is a play that was written to promote Christian values and as such, reflects that God does not have his children and servants as slaves, because God made humans to be free and to own their own destinies and decisions. With that, we can see that the protagonist, Everyman, who represents humanity, makes his own decisions, decides which paths to follow, who to face and who to make friends with. With that, Everyman demonstrates the domain of free will and the ability to build his destiny, but without depending on it and adapt as necessary.
