Question

In the play Everyman, what is common to Discretion, Strength, Five Wits, and Beauty?

A. They prove to be Everyman’s best friend.
B. They all forsake him on his final journey.
C. They are directed by God to forsake Everyman.
D. They all perish on a difficult journey.

Answer 1

The common thing between what is common Discretion, Strength, Five Wits, and Beauty is that they are directed by God to forsake Everyman. The main conflict of the play led me to this answer, to be more exact: God was angry at people as they only focus on prosperity and don't even think about sins. Therefore, God sends Death to go to Everyman and take him on the pilgrimage towards judgement.
