Everyman is, perhaps, the best example of the medieval drama known
             as the morality play. It dramatizes a moral struggle seen in every
             Everyman is an allegorical play that represents a man on his day of
             judgment. The moral of this story is that we can take nothing from this
             world that we have received, only that which we have given. We can see
             an example of this when Everyman is confronted with Death and turns to
             his "friends" : Fellowship, Kin, and Wealth to rescue him. However, they all
             forsake him, and he falls back on his Good Deeds, his Strength, his
             Beauty, his Discretion, and his Five-wits. These assist him in making his
             Book of Accounts, but at the end, when he must go to the grave, all desert
             him except his Good Deeds. But Good Deeds is bound to the ground by
             Everyman's sin, and cannot be released until he repents. Good Deeds
             then sends her sister, Knowledge, with Everyman, and she will remain with
             him until she sees where Everyman will go. Then only Everyman and
             Good Deeds descend into the grave, proving that only what you give can
             you take with you when you depart from this earth.
             The theology in this story gives the impression that good deeds will save
             you in the end. In reality we can not take our deeds with us, for our works
             are as filthy rags in the presence of God [Isaiah 64:6]. Only by placing our
             faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and surrendering to His Lordship, are we
             able to be assured of our fate. Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved
             through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works,
