The Somonyng of Everyman (The Summoning of Everyman) usually referred to simply as Everyman is a late 15th-century English morality play. Like John Bunyan’s 1678 Christian novel Pilgrim’s Progress Everyman uses allegorical characters to examine the question of Christian salvation and what Man must do to attain it. The premise is that the good and evil deeds of one’s life will be tallied by God after death as in a ledger book.
