Things to Consider When Reading Everyman
1. At the heart of every morality play, there is a dramatic conflict. What is the central struggle in Everyman?
2. How does the author make Death an effective messenger?
3. How do the allegorical figures also seem human?
4. What changes does Everyman undergo along his journey?
5. What or who assists Everyman along his journey?
6. What themes or messages does the author present to the audience?
7. The names of characters are supposed to be obvious links to the abstract concepts. Be sure to understand what each character is connected to in modern language. For example, what does fellowship represent? We don't use the word fellowship as much anymore, so what does it mean in your own words?
