What does the character Everyman suggest about the common English person of the time period
Alla [95]

Everyman is a moral drama, a play that was first published in 1508. The moral aspect is involved at the very beginning, when God sends Death to invite the main character Everyman, after which the action takes place on Earth, where Everyman represents every human being, and the action can also be anywhere on Earth. The moral premise is given by the fact that everyone's good and evil deeds will be expressed by God after death. Terrified by the knowledge that he will die, Everyman turns to his friends, who initially show love and support, but when they discover that Everyman moves on the path of death, they leave him. After that, he turns to the family in the same way, for support, but also the family reacts in the same way after the initial inclination. This shows the cruel reality of an ordinary man who has to go on his own way without return, and to answer for his own deeds completely independently. In fact, on this journey there are no privileges, all are ordinary, common people before proclaiming their own deeds that are done during their lifetime. After being rejected by everyone, Everyman turns to his goods, material possessions, which have contributed more to sins than to good deeds. With this knowledge, Everyman is desperate, and then a moral aspect in the form of a Doctor, which gives moral advice, enters the scene. The moral advice, in the form of repentance, gives strength, that good deeds are raised above sins. The man is weakened by the sins and in the inability to strengthen the good in himself. By repentance he succeeds, and thus, Everyman with the help of  the power of good deeds and repentance approaches to the heavenly gates.

The message of the drama applies to all people, at the moment of death, a man is abandoned by all, he is confronted with his own actions, and can only find strength in sincere repentance.
