Having many friends and having few friends is obviously thinking of the amount of friends without caring much about quality. It's good to have few friends, but to have true friends.
It is always preferable to have quality friendships. Friendships built on trust, caring, love, understanding and reciprocity. A friendship between two people is between two people, never a single part. It has to have both parts. It must be a friendship strengthened in personal, intimate, and deep knowledge, to the point of this friendship overcoming difficulties, confusion, misunderstandings, quarrels, everything. This kind of friendship is built with quality. And nowadays few people possess those characteristics or are willing to acquire them. That is why friendship should never be based on quantity, on the largest number of friends. If we have few friends but friends with these characteristics, we know that they are real friends.
I've had the question before, and the answer I used is "not very tall." Seeing that euphemism means to not be offensive.
When the princess is discovered with a lover who is of lower status than she is, the king holds a trial where the princess's lover must choose between two doors. One door will have a tiger behind it, and the other door will have a woman who is a worthy match for the man. The princess knows what is behind each door, and when the man looks to her for help, she gestures towards one of the doors. However, the audience does not know which door she tells him to pick. If she picks the one with the woman behind it, it would mean she loves the man enough to let him go and live, even if it is with another woman. If she chooses the door with the tiger behind it, it means she could not bear to see him with anyone else, and decided it was better for him to die. Hope this helps.
The allegorical figures of Pride, Beauty, Five-Wits (five senses), Strength, and Discretion all abandon Everyman in his hour of need. Basically, they are superficial values that people strive for during their lives. And none of them is worthy before God in the hour of death. None of them is going to alleviate the pain or help Everyman go to Heaven. These lines from the morality play should warn people that they are completely alone in this world, with only their Good Deeds to follow them beyond the grave.
