`The good deeds of everyone Each man, in an attempt to clearly represent the importance of human morality, however focuses on a faith based on works; this focus is not on the good deeds already achieved but on identifying such deeds before proceeding to death. It would seem, therefore, that it is not necessary for Everyman to reflect on the good deeds he has done but to find a way to acquire them quickly. Unlike the Protestant view, which bases religion on faith alone, Everyman focuses heavily on the Catholic religion which was prevalent during the Middle Ages. Since illiteracy was a large problem, Catholic religious leaders needed to spread their message to their followers. It was essential that these people became aware of the fate of their soul if they neglected their works. Each man made it clear to all who saw him that without “good deeds” they would not have access to heaven. However, it was not necessary that these good deeds be done over time, but that they could be found, through "knowledge", before death came. jobs they do in life. The fact that this is considered a “moral game” means that the focus will be on what behavior is customary and accepted as right. However, when Death comes, it is not necessary for every man to be immediately ready to give an account of his life. Death warns and warns him when he says, "Be ready soon," thus giving every man the opportunity to prepare (468). Everyman then turns to Fellowship which he feels is “the best thing to do to complain” (468). By seeking solace in Fellowship, Everyman shows his awareness of his failure in the works department. He does not immediately seek his works to save him from his fate. He is looking for company on his journey. He recognizes that he is in “great danger” and wants to “ease” his “pain” (468). Knowing that his good deeds are lacking, he simply looks for a shoulder to cry on. He doesn't expect the Fellowship to change his destiny. He just hopes to somehow make it less painful.
