The central theme to the medieval morality play Everymanis that on the final journey on the road of life, all companions of Everyman forsake him and only Good Deeds avail at the final judgment.
In the beginning of the play God is upset with Everyman for embracing the seven deadly sins, so he calls for Death to seek out and punish every man who has sinned.
When faced with this accosting, Everyman begs for company on the journey to the grave and Death allows Everyman to bring any companions who would be willing to go.
Everyman then seeks out Fellowship, Kindred, and Goods, however, all three refuse to make the dangerous voyage to the grave with him.
When Everyman calls upon Good Deeds, he answers weakly, for he is tied down by Ropes of Sin and is unable to help. Everyman then seeks out Good Deeds' sister, Knowledge, who leads Everyman to Confession. Confession then frees Good Deeds from Ropes of Sin and the three journey together to the grave.
Other companions such as Strength, Beauty, and the Five Wits join the three on the road of life, however only Good Deeds is able to enter darkness with Everyman at the end.
No one knows who the author is. It is anonymous. That is the truth, I am reading Everyman in class.

Everyman
In the play Everyman, Goods is a character representing Everyman's wealth or worldly possessions. There is no reference to a pile of gold in the three pages or so in which Everyman interacts with Goods. Goods says that he is so locked up in chests and bags that he can hardly move, and when Everyman asks him to accompany him on his journey to death, Goods declines. Goods remarks that Everyman's love of him is likely to make his journey more difficult rather than easier in any event.
Which central theme does hector want his audience to remember best? Theme D because he ends his speech with this theme
In everyman except th main character 'everyman" other characters are personified.For Example good deeds,knowledge,death etc. So because of this personification we can clearly see a relationship.That is the narrator used knowledge,Good deeds, sacraments,death,etc in order to present their own themes ex:Death(character) conveys death(theme)
critically examine everyman as a moral allegory.
Any play having a gospel principle as its central theme. Christmas is a good example for it has the birth of Christ as its central theme. The film The Ten Commandments is another example.
Here the main characters are Everyman,Good deeds and knowledge
Morality Play!
