Everyman:A Guide To The Gates Of Heaven


This notion.
             conforms to the views held by the medieval church, and so there may appear to.
             be a slight discrepancy between the teachings of the church at this time, and the.
             story in which every man is saved. But, this is not entirely true. What seems to.
             be the moral of the play is not that Everyman will be saved, but that Everyman.
             can be saved. The story then, is supposed to be a guide on how to achieve.
             eternal life as believed in by the Christian church. .
             When first encountered by Death, Everyman says that his book of.
             reckoning is not ready. This is one of the major premises of the story, that.
             nobody is actually prepared when the first signs of death are noticeable. The.
             concept of each man having their book of reckoning to present to God is also a.
             biblical concept, so they can be judged, and possibly be granted salvation. This.
             also conforms to modern theories of death, that nobody is ever really prepared.
             at first, and before they can finally accept death, that they must first evaluate.
             their lives. While possibly conforming to religious views of death, the story of.
             Everyman presents us with a moral that may not be entirely applicable today.
             Everyman, in the story, is confronted with death. He soon realizes that he will.
             have to be alone in death, as nobody will be going with him, and that ultimately.
             his possessions will be useless to him. However, this idea that full repentance is.
             necessary before death can be accepted may not hold true in a modern.
             apathetic society. Certainly, before death is finally accepted, an individual must.
             review their life and decide that life has been worth living. But, to a modern.
             atheist, the concept of the afterlife may well seem ridiculous, and it will be things.
             like the acquisition of wealth that has been very important in the person's life, in.
             addition to the personal relationships that have been formed. In this case,.
             Everyman's Good Deeds may not be so particularly important to a person,.
