Alifa Rifaat's short story "Another Evening at the Club" paints a clear picture of the powerless, inferior role of women in Egyptian society: the main character Samia is trapped in an arranged marriage in which she is repeatedly forced into betraying her own values and beliefs.
For example, when Bey, her husband, says to Samia "Tell people you're from the well-known Barakat family and that your father was a judge," she is obliged to lie about her own family's social status, in spite of how she was raised to be an honest person, just for the sake of making Bey look more important in the public eye.
In the end, Bey forces Samia into the ultimate act of dishonesty: protecting a lie that is causing their servant to be tortured, only to avoid his husband's embarrassment, when he says "By now the whole town knows the servant stole the ring—or would you like me to tell everyone: 'Look,folks, the fact is that the wife got a bit tiddly on a couple of sips of beer and the ring took off on its own and hid itself behind the dressing-table."
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.
Wasn't it Phillis Wheatley's "Poems on Various Subjects, Religious, and Moral"?
