Everyman - A Medieval Morality Play

Everyman is the finest example of the medieval morality play. It clearly has a didactic function of religious instruction, but it is also fascinating as an exploration of the theme of death. It is fascinating to contrast Everyman with Christopher Marlowe's Dr Faustus, a similarly worldly character who, facing Death, makes a pact with the devil. Three centuries later, it will also provide the substance of Leo Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilych In each case, the theological presuppositions of the authors and their culture is brought to bear. The question for humanity today, which is no more prone to confront the inevitability of death than Everyman was, is how will we live in the light of it? ❤️ If you find my channel helpful, become a channel member:    / drscottmasson
