N2  - "Everyman" with other interludes, including eight miracle plays by Ernest Rhys is a collection of medieval morality plays likely written in the late 15th century. The central focus of this collection revolves around the character of Everyman, who represents all humanity, as he embarks on a journey to reckon with his life and face Death. This work offers a blend of religious themes, human virtues, and moral reflections, engaging readers in both the spiritual and social contexts of its time.  The opening of "Everyman" introduces the theme of death and the importance of living a righteous life. The play begins with a messenger calling for the audience's attention to the moral narrative about Everyman, who receives a summons from Death, sent by God. Throughout this introduction, Everyman is depicted as being unprepared for his journey to give an account of his life, gripping the reader with the stark reality of mortality. Characters such as Fellowship, Kindred, and Goods, who symbolize different aspects of Everyman’s life, all abandon him in this time of need, ultimately highlighting the solitary confrontation humanity must face when confronted with death. The narrative sets the tone for the larger moral lessons woven throughout the collection, emphasizing the value of Good Deeds and the futility of material wealth.
