I read this medieval morality play (from which Roth's "Everyman" takes it's title) on line. It is short and fascinating...dealing with death and the accounting for our lives that God will some day demand. If you read Roth's "Everyman" - this play is a perfect companion.
In the end, the only thing that matters is Good Deeds. I found this work ambiguous and annoying when I first read it, but as I grow older, I've noticed that this sentiment is possibly the most enduring idea ever.
this ancient morality play continues to fascinate me
Morality plays! Old as civilization almost but timeless in plot and purpose.

“When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There is a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.
You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth.”
