Mortality

• The play nearest the mystery in manner of production, costumes, and general tone was the morality, which might almost be classed as a religious play.

Mortality Play

• All the characters are also allegorical, each personifying an abstract idea such as Fellowship, (material) Goods, and Knowledge.

• The conflict between good and evil is dramatized by the interactions between characters.

• Everyman examines the question of Christian salvation by use of allegorical characters, and what Man must do to attain it. The premise is that the good and evil deeds of one's life will be tallied by God after death, as in a ledger book.
