What happens when Everyman asks Goods to accompany him? Why does Goods think that his presence would adversely influence God's judgement of Everyman?

Goods says no when Everyman asks to accompany him. Goods thinks that presence would adversely influence God's judgment of Everyman because it is of the world and cannot follow a person to eternity. Also God would be reminded that Everyman loved Goods far to much and Goods points out that this love is why he's in the problem in the first place.

How does Everyman react to the summons by Death?

He tries to avoid it. He also tries to bribe death with gold and tries to persuade him with talking to not go. He is not ready to go because he is aware that he is sinful.

What does the weakness of Good Deeds reveal about the way Everyman has led his life?

It reveals that he was a very bad person.

Explain how the play supports the idea that knowledge of one's sin is necessary before one can truly repent.

It supports it because if you do not know what you did, you cannot be sorry about it. Also should know what is wrong and should know where your sin is coming from. (Where it originates from)
