The character called “Death” is meant to be God's messenger who the main character Everyman is afraid of. The English morality play Everyman uses characterization and allegory to portray human values, human choices and the consequences of both at the time of death.

Thomas More takes the side of the church and follows the idea that God judges the consciences of all, and if one is against God, then that person could be considered evil. “More went to his death as he said on the scaffold, “the king’s good servant and God’s first” ( Lahr).
