When Kindred and Cousin desert him, Everyman is sad but resolute.

He does not weep as he did earlier. Instead, he realizes that people make promises but do not intend to keep them. People offer "fair words" but not actions.

With this in mind, he resolves not to depend on other people but calls instead on his Goods. He thinks Goods will help him because there is power in money. He believes Goods will be more reliable than people. He says specifically that "money maketh all right."

Of course, material things will not be able to help him either. Goods even goes so far to tell Everyman that his focus on material goods has made things worse for him.

Answer:

Because his family has forsaken him, Everyman believes that he will never be happy again. Alone again, Everyman laments the loss of Fellowship, Kindred, and Cousin, who have all forsaken him. Wondering to whom he should turn next, Everyman decides that, as he has loved wealth his whole life, he should summon his friend Goods for advice.

Hope this helps!!!
