An allegory is a novel, poem, photo or play which can be elucidated to unveil the latent or symbolic meaning. To add, allegories are used to teach or justify principle, morals, thoughts and so forth. There are three allegories such as biblical, classical and modern.
The morality play is a kind of allegory where the primary character meets personifications with distinct moral traits who try to persuade them to take delivery of suitable existence over the evil life.
Personification is when a human trait is given to a non-human thing, thoughts or animals. For instance, 'If something be amiss, I pray thee, me say, That I can also help to remedy', Fellowship is portrayed as friendship who helps Everyman with wrong deeds, Goods is depicted as possessions which make Everyman a pervert in God's eyes. Additionally, Knowledge represents data about the church which is the answer to Everyman's salvation as she says ‘Everyman, I will go with thee, and be thy guide, In thy most want to go through thy side’. In short, Everyman takes sins as something that can be constant via church.
According to me, God is the Creator of each man and dying whereas the man is anticipated to obey Him at all times in order for a man to get into heaven after demise however if no longer then he will go to hell the place evil people go. Death is the only way of returning to God after you have completed your appropriate deeds on earth. Then according to the text Everyman, man is the photo of God, therefore, he is predicted to obey His rules or else he will be in the ‘reckoning’ that consist of these who do no longer obey Him. However, Death is proven as the closest man or woman to God, who gather these who do not do properly on earth and he does no longer have mercy to those who disobey God. Summing up, God takes those who disobey His regulations via dying earlier than they proceed with awful habits.
Everyman has the honest tone although sorrowful in portraying Everyman's existence events, daydreaming about demise and feelings. However, everyman wishes to be accompanied by means of his household and friends however nobody is inclined to do that, then he realizes that when you are still alive you have to do true in order for you not to be scared when dying period pops up and to be ordinary by way of God after death.
Personally, God does exist but we have different gods as people since the play is biblical of which the bible consists of solely white human beings which makes it a fairytale story due to the fact I have in no way come across an African identify nor a black man or woman written in the holy bible. For me, the text is just a moral textual content which is reminding human beings that if you do now not act according to Godâs will while you are still alive demise will intervene. Moreover, death happens even if you are sinless, for instance, some infants die in their arrival so demise is now not meant for sinners or saints but each person will die regardless of their right or awful deeds.
