At the end of the 15th century, the play "Everyman" by an unknown author talks about the game of morality. The themes of this literature are: life is a pilgrimage; death is inevitable and medieval theology. It is not faith that will save Everyman, he needs learn to listen and knows what the difference is between what is salvation and condemnation. In today's day, many people struggle or experience death. Other people think too much and analyze how they are going to die, or what will happen to them when they die. The play Everyman death tends to make the main theme, as she tells Everyman that he would die. For some people, it can be difficult and for others, it is a relief to die.
Everyman is a famous play that is, subconsciously or deliberately,

Morality is about reasons centered in respect for other people, reasons, for instance, involve respecting people by being fair and just with them, respecting their rights, keeping promises, avoiding unnecessary offense and pain to them. “The essential elements of all morality – the feeling of respect for the authority of rules” (Haidt, 2008, p. 66). The values through amusing dramatic actions into the moralities were been a fairly rich, late medieval genre encouraged by the church and civil authorities because they taught social and moral …show more content…
But at that moment he felt willing to change, because he lived a sinful life, and ask God to save him, a dramatic moment where he felt lost and asked for mercy. Everyman realized that his fortune material had no value and that it was more important the fortune of God. Everyman acts representing humanity, fighting for morality inside, although he thinks that death is evil because it comes from hell. Death is ironically a messenger of God. Everyman had discovered that while he was successful in life, the afterlife was a different story because his wealth could not go with him or count in the Book of life. Fortunately, Everyman could recover good works in his search for a company. Passion is substantial throughout the work, Everyman wants to live, tries to pay to death, begging for a company, then accept that his human life ended, asking God for forgiveness, begging him to have mercy on him. The tragedy, the fact that death is upon him and the conflict within him. To find that everything that one has lived to achieve did not matter, in the end, it is sad, unfortunately, humanity seems to follow this example, but fortunately, Everyman could change the outcome of his sinful ways. This medieval game, although tragic, had a focus on keeping the reader wondering what will happen
Morality can be shown through texts and stories in a number of ways. One story in particular that showed morality as a theme at different points throughout the story was the Ravine by Graham Salisbury. The key instances in the story that show morality as a theme were when Vinny, the main character, wasn't sure if he did the right thing going to the ravine, or if he should've listened to his mother, and stayed home. The second time morality was expressed as a theme was when Vinny also didn't feel comfortable being at the ravine since another teenager about his aged passed away in an accident at the ravine, he was afraid that what happened to the boy might happen to him and his friends. And the last moment in the story where morality is expressed as a theme was
Death is introduced immediately as the narrator of the book, and he reveals some key information about his personality. One of his most prominent characteristics is how he feels bored and irritated by his job, a feeling we can relate to; "The trouble is, who could ever replace me? Who could step in while I take a break in your stock-standard resort-style holiday destination...?" In this quote, Death is shown to be more human than his usual image suggests.
This shows that the day he died he did not understand what was going on and why people were so said. I think that the main character is unemotional because at this time the character may had been very young it did not understand what was going
but he does it for no reason because no one is listening and soon that hour is going to run out and be useless. You can tell that his state of mind at this point is at an all time low. He is calling life pointless and he hardly seems to care that his wife died because he feels he's already dead mentally and emotionally. I think that it is ironic with the drama of the play. He is saying that his wife would have died eventually, but his wife died because he killed someone.
Morality is subjective and can stem from philosophy, how a person is raised, what individuals feel is right or wrong, and even religion. Even people with such religious morals go against their faith and cause opposition to what they find right or wrong. Religion
William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and Stevens’ “The Emperor of Ice Cream” all successfully comment on the nature of death, while differing in their discussion of character development, language, and motifs. The first text, As I Lay Dying, deals with how the Bundren family reacts to the death of the female family head, Addie Bundren. The second text, Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, focuses on how the protagonist of the play, Hamlet, deals with the death of his father and his uncle’s usurpation of the throne. Finally, the poem, “The Emperor of Ice Cream”, describes a wake and what is going on surrounding the casket, including people’s reactions to the event. These similar focuses of death help to unveil the profounder meaning of each text, which are revealed by the discussion of action vs. inaction, the role of women, and the process of moving on after a death.
In the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, the main protagonist, Prince Hamlet, is tangled with the theme of death. During the play, he presents how his life is surrounded with death after his father, King Hamlet, dies.

The man awaiting his death started to go insane. He was physically handicapped by the rope tied around him (Great Books). This short story exposed the true anxiety and emotional stress of death.

Morality is a set of values held by a person in making when judging and evaluating what is deemed right or wrong, good or bad (Brandt, 1959). When we talk about morality in counseling it’s about the reasoning by the counselor that has four levels. They are, personal intuition, ethical guidelines established by professional organizations, ethical principles and general theories of moral action (Kitchener, 1984). Ethics is described as adopted principles that has relations to man’s behavior and moral decision making (Van Hoose & Kottler, 1985). Ethics is often thought as a synonym to morality.
The definition of moral is this: “Concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character.” But, what is right, and what is wrong? Is there a straightforward, universal answer to that? The play Antigone addresses this. The two main characters are both acting upon what they see as morally just and right.
The Book Thief is narrated by Death. Throughout the book he makes casual remarks about his job, but occasionally he puts the casual talk on hold, and that is when one can infer that he cares about something. Rudy Steiner was a talented boy, from running around a track, to soccer, to memorizing facts about ancient beings, he was the best of the best, and what is hard to like about that? Nearly all the time, death is associated with all objects depressing.

She decided one day that she had conquered death by changing her fate and goes to venture the town where she met a strange man, who insults her, filled with anger she decides to go after him where she faces death. A very similar situation is portrayed in “The Masque of the Red Death” with the character Prince Prospero, who believes that he has changed his fate by locking himself in his palace for years but this doesn’t end well for him as he faces death in his own home. In “The Masque of the Red Death”, written by Edgar Allen Poe, irony and symbolism to is used prove that death is inevitable.
The illusion of death has wondered and astonished many for years. This doesn 't exclude the fantastic author Shakespeare.
