Everyman

Journey of Everyman

God is upset with his people so he tells death to send Everyman on a pilgrimage. Everyman want others to go with him. He talks to fellowship and goods, kindred, cousin, knowledge, discretion, strength, beauty, and 5 wits. All agree at first but then back out, leaving weak, good deeds. This shows that the good deeds you do will never leave you. In the end an angel takes him to heaven because he did peace and went to confession.
