"Everyman" is a play that was written by an anonimous writer in the 15th century and its complete title was "Somonyng of Everyman". In essence, this play speaks about Everyman, the main character, who after having lived a very comfortable and superficial life is called by God, through Death, to account for his life and pay for his sins. In his fear, and knowing what awaits him, Everyman goes to his usual friends: Fellowship, Kindred, Cousin and Goods, to see if they will accompany him in his journey through death. But all of them desert him. The only people who offer their help are Good-Deeds, who has been really sick due to Everyman´s sin and mistreatment of her, Knowledge and Confession. In the end, Good-Deeds recovers when Everyman repents for his sins and she goes with him to God´s judgement. Everyman becomes really happy when he sees that Good-Deeds has recovered because now he won´t be alone, and also because he now knows, thanks to Confession and Knowledge, that he will be able to stand before God, and find salvation and peace.
