Activity

You will write the plot outline for a play that will fit into the genre of naive allegory, as in a morality play. Recall the characteristics of the naive allegorical play that you read about in the tutorial. Keep in mind that naive allegorical plays convey a clear moral. The characters in your play should represent abstract concepts, such as good or evil.

Part A

To give your intended audience some idea of what to expect, choose a situation or problem that the play will discuss. Your problem can be something you've observed in your own daily life or in events of your time.

Part B

Next, list and describe the characters you will use in your play to initiate and propel the moral conflict.

Submit

Finally, write short reflective paragraph that depicts how and why the allegory of your play is different from that of Everyman. While framing your response, keep in mind that Everyman was written in the medieval period and served a particular purpose.
