Question

What is Everyman doing wrong as he approaches death? His mind is on "worldly" things like money. He has treated his fellow man with compassion. He has betrayed his family and friends.

Answer 1

First we need to start by saying that this is a very complicated play about the deepest Christian tenets or principles, morality and the relationship between humankind and God. Having said that, we can say that as the character of Everyman ( humans) approaches death, he has only set this mind in "worldly" things like money, and he has not paid attetion or loved Good Deeds ( Good Deeds represents the personification of love, empathy, and altruism as a female; the "mother" aspect of femininity, so the character would be a nurturing, sympathetic and affectual woman).

so the final answer is: His mind is on "worldly" things like money.
