What does the character everyman suggest about the common english person of the time period?

The play Everyman was written in the 1400s. It is what is known as a "Morality" play. Its aim is to teach people how to live and how to save their souls. The character Everyman was a common English person of the period the play was written in. He had neglected his spiritual life. He repents of his sins and changes his ways in time to save his soul before he dies. The common English person of the day, as well as most people today, don't really worry about the long term consequences of the lives they live and the impact their behaviour will have on their afterlife. This play draws our attention to the fact that we actually need to consider the way we live before we die.
