When his mother told him he should go visit her, he replied in a very ignorant manner, “I can handle my own life. I don’t need you telling me what to do” (Wilson 104). This showed a lot about Zachary’s personality. He could have given up some of his spare time to go see his sister but instead he was greedy about it and made a selfish, child-like decision.

While his friends offer to help at first, none of them follow through in the end. By examining the relationship between Everyman and Fellowship, one will discover the importance of having true friends. After his confrontation with Death, Everyman states “I no manner of company to help me in my journey, and me to keep” (pp 41).

Everyman is distressed from the instruction from Death to embark on a journey to make a reckoning with God and reasons that the journey will be more bearable if he is accompanied by a friend.
