Thesis Statement Deaths primary role throughout the course of this play is to serve as God’s messenger and to summon Everyman to account for his sins. xxxx xxxx Crs Date Analysis of Death in “Everyman” The morality play Everyman is probably one of the most known drama’s of the Middle Ages even though the author of the play is unknown. The basic summary of the play entails the Lord God looking down upon Everyman and observing the greed that has overcame him. The character Everyman, in this play, is symbolic of mankind as a whole; male, female, young, and old. God sees Everyman’s desire for riches and worldly pleasures and observes the fact that Everyman has forgotten Him. This prompts God to call for His messenger, Death. God proceeds to bid Death to take a message to Everyman informing him that he must take a long journey; he must prepare to account for his actions before the Lord God. This direct instruction to Death by God gives the reader insight on the author’s perception of Death and the role that Death will play in this drama. Death doesn’t play a prominent role throughout the course of the play, but the play seems to be centered on the conversation between Death and Everyman. Deaths primary role throughout the course of this play is to serve as God’s messenger and to summon Everyman to account for his sins. An excerpt from the play further illustrates the brief but significant role of Death as the messenger of God. God. … Where art thou, Death, thou mighty messenger? Death. Almighty God, I am here at your will, Your commandment to fulfil. God. Go thou to Everyman, And show him in my name. A pilgrimage he must on him take, Which he in no wise may escape; And that he bring with him a sure reckoning Without delay or any tarrying. Death. Lord, I will in the world go run over all, And cruelly outsearch both great and small; Every man will I beset that liveth beastly Out of God’s laws, and dreadeth not folly; He that loveth riches I will strike with my dart, His sight to blind, and from heaven to depart, Except that alms be his good friend, In hell for to dwell, world without end… [ (Unknown 1400) ] In his short book entitled “Everyman”, Simon Trussler further describes the role of Death as God’s messenger. God, looking out from Heaven over his creation, bemoans men’s love of worldly riches and their unrighteous behavior. Summoning his messenger Death, God instructs him to seek out Everyman, who must make ready for a pilgrimage, bearing his book of reckoning with him. Everyman, thinking of ‘fleshly lusts and his treasure’, has Death ‘least in mind’, and his accounts are all unclear. He begs and even tries to bribe Death for more time to make himself ready, but Death agrees only to let him try to find someone who will accompany him on the journey. (Trussler 1996) The combined writings of the author of Everyman and Simon Trussler’s summary of Everyman further illustrate the intentions and purpose of the character Death by the author. Clearly, the purpose of Death is to serve as God’s primary messenger to the character Everyman. Bibliography: Cunningham, Lawrence S, and John J Reich. Culture and Values: a survey of the humanities.

Everyman Hero Definition. In literature, an ' everyman ' has come to mean an ordinary individual that the audience or reader easily identifies with, but who has no outstanding abilities or attributes. An everyman hero is one who is placed in extraordinary circumstances and acts with heroic qualities. Everyman (play) The Somonyng of Everyman ( The Summoning of Everyman ), usually referred to simply as Everyman , is a late 15th-century morality play. Like John Bunyan's 1678 Christian novel The Pilgrim's Progress , Everyman uses allegorical characters to examine the question of Christian salvation and what Man must do to attain it. Contents. Summary Sources Setting Synopsis Adaptations Notes References Editions Further reading External links. Summary. The will is that the good and evil deeds of one's life will be tallied by God after death, as in a ledger book. The play is the allegorical accounting of the life of Everyman, who represents all mankind. In the course of the action, Everyman tries to convince other characters to accompany him in the hope of improving his life. All the characters are also mystical; the conflict between good and evil is shown by the interactions between the characters. Everyman is being singled out because it is difficult for him to find characters to accompany him on his pilgrimage. Everyman eventually realizes through this pilgrimage that he is essentially alone, despite all the personified characters that were supposed necessities and friends to him. Everyman learns that when you are brought to death and placed before God, all you are left with are your own good deeds. Sources. The play was written in Middle English during the Tudor period, but the identity of the author is unknown. Although the play was apparently produced with some frequency in the seventy-five years following its composition, no production records survive. [1] There is a similar Dutch-language morality play of the same period called Elckerlijc . In the early 20th century, scholars did not agree on which of these plays was the original, or even on their relation to a later Latin work named Homulus . [2] [3] By the 1980s, Arthur Cawley went so far as to say that the "evidence for … Elckerlijk is certainly very strong", [4] and now Davidson, Walsh, and Broos hold that "more than a century of scholarly discussion has . convincingly shown that Everyman is a translation and adaptation from the Dutch Elckerlijc ". [5] Setting. The cultural setting is based on the Roman Catholicism of the era. Everyman attains afterlife in heaven by means of good works and the Catholic Sacraments, in particular Confession, Penance, Unction, Viaticum and receiving the Eucharist. Synopsis. The oldest surviving example of the script begins with this paragraph on the frontispiece: Here begynneth a treatyſe how þ e hye Fader of Heuen ſendeth Dethe to ſomon euery creature to come and gyue a counte of theyr lyues in this worlde, and is in maner of a morall playe. Here begins a treatise how the high Father of Heaven sends Death to summon every creature to come and give account of their lives in this world, and is in the manner of a moral play. After a brief prologue asking the audience to listen, God speaks, lamenting that humans have become too absorbed in material wealth and riches to follow Him, so He commands Death to go to Everyman and summon him to heaven to make his reckoning. Death arrives at Everyman's side to tell him it is time to die and face judgment. Upon hearing this, Everyman is distressed, so begs for more time. Death denies this, but will allow Everyman to find a companion for his journey. [6] Everyman's friend Fellowship promises to go anywhere with him, but when he hears of the true nature of Everyman's journey, he refuses to go.

  • Hildegard Von Bingen (1098- 1179)
    http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/med/hildegarde.html The Life and Works of Hildegard von Bingen (1098- 1179) Introduction Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was a remarkable woman, a "first" in many fields. At a time when few women wrote, Hildegard, known as "Sybil of the Rhine", produced major works of theology and visionary writings. When few women were accorded respect, she was consulted by and advised bishops, popes, and kings. She used the curative powers of natural objects for healing, and wrote treatises about natural history and medicinal uses of plants, animals, trees and stones. She is the first composer whose biography is known. She founded a vibrant convent, where her musical plays were performed. Although not yet canonized, Hildegard has been beatified, and is frequently referred to as St. Hildegard. Revival of interest in this extraordinary woman of the middle ages was initiated by musicologists and historians of science and religion. Less fortunately, Hildegard's visions and music had been hijacked by the New Age movement, whose music bears some resemblance to Hildegard's ethereal airs. Her story is important to all students of medieval history and culture and an inspirational account of an irresisible spirit and vibrant intellect overcoming social, physical, cultural, gender barriers to achieve timeless transcendence. The Early Years Hildegard was born a "10"th child (a tithe) to a noble family. As was customary with the tenth child, which the family could not count on feeding, she was dedicated at birth to the church. The girl started to have visions of luminous objects at the age of tree, but soon realized she was unique in this ability and hid this gift for many years.

  • Induit Me Dominus Ciclade Auro: the Ordo Virtutum As Liturgical Commentary
    Issue 2 2012 Induit me dominus ciclade auro: The Ordo Virtutum as Liturgical Commentary LAURA FERRIS UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY During the twentieth century historians have gone from dismissing mystic Hildegard of Bingen’s poetic work as bad Latin to lionizing Hildegard for her anachronistic genius. The task of contemporary Hildegardian scholars is to honor her individuality while elucidating her significance for the twelfth- century “Renaissance.” In this study of her musical drama, the Ordo Virtutum, I challenge and modify other historians’ theories of when the play could have been performed to lay the foundation for an argument that the Ordo Virutum can be interpreted as a liturgical commentary on the mass for the Consecration of Virgins and a detailed analysis of what comments Hildegard makes on this section of the liturgy, using the text of the play and the ordo in the Mainz Pontifical as my two primary sources. I conclude that the field of Hildegardian studies would benefit from more in-depth and highly detailed intertextual analysis focusing on her debt to the liturgy of the twelfth century along with other texts she alludes to, and that this more literary approach may be the key to decoding and articulating her role and significance in her historical context, thus ending her isolation as a peculiar visionary. “Like all religions, Christianity is deeply paradoxical, because it must give significance to both life and death. Paradox is not, by definition, solvable; it can only be asserted, experienced, lived. Christian devotion is especially inflected with paradox, because it places at the very center the shocking, oxymoronic enfleshing of the divine.

  • Regent College Voice and Viriditas in Hildegard Of
    REGENT COLLEGE VOICE AND VIRIDITAS IN HILDEGARD OF BINGEN’S ORDO VIRTUTUM AN ESSAY PREPARED FOR THE RCSA ACADEMIC SYMPOSIUM 2020 BY AMY LEMKE VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA 6 MARCH 2020 Ordo Virtutum is the earliest known morality play in Western music history and it was written in 1151 by Hildegard of Bingen for the discipleship of her community of nuns at Disibodenberg. Hildegard was a vibrant thinker and visionary who sought to integrate every facet of monastic life – music, nature, spirituality, community, etc. – in one well-tuned composition that could become a microcosm of the entire cosmos.1 Thus, communal singing was more than a rational learning experience and more than personal expression of praise and thanks to God; it was the sacramental means of participating in the divine and human nature of Christ and the way of converting the rebellious soul to the Christian life.2 Twelfth-century Christianity in the West is marked by the structuring efforts of scholasticism and the struggle for church reform, but Hildegard is a unique figure who was able to balance the mystery of her spiritual experience with the structural impulse of her time. She did so through her unique concept of viriditas which encompasses the greenness of natural life, holistic physical and spiritual health, and the vitality of God present in the world through the Incarnation of Christ. While theologians of her time went about their “project of systematizing and ordering,” Hildegard’s Ordo Virtutum serves as a theological encapsulation that could be embodied by her community. 3 Hildegard of Bingen’s Ordo Virtutum displays a relationship between voice and her concept of viriditas that will be addressed in three sections related to the morality play’s historical context, its musical features, and its theological implications.

  • A Dramaturgy of Medieval Religious Emotion
    ARTICLES Sacred Feeling: A Dramaturgy of Medieval Religious Emotion Donnalee Dox and Amber Dunai Introduction Kathleen Woodward observes that in the last two decades of historical research, emotions have increased in prominence as a subject. She points out that, “like any other human experience, the emotions have a history and thus change in fascinating ways over time” (Woodward 2009, 61). Today, films, plays, television shows, and news broadcasts are largely invested in a dramaturgy of emotion that follows the conventions of mimetic realism, inviting audiences to engage with representations of emotion and respond in kind. When we call real-life displays of emotion “dramatic,” we rhetorically reinforce the implicit assumption that drama is the site for producing emotions. However, as Anastasia Philippa Scrutton suggests, emotion bound to the self as a kind of mental and physical feeling is a modern invention. The wide range of internally sensed and externally expressed phenomena we understand today as emotions was largely foreign to the ways classical and medieval philosophy constituted emotion (Scrutton 2011, 13, 34). The pervasive influence of a Christian worldview on spiritual, intellectual, and everyday life in the Middle Ages thus warrants seeking a theory of medieval drama and emotion grounded in Christian theology of human emotions. Clearly, dramatizations of Christianity’s salvation narrative, whether written for performance in churches, religious houses, or public spaces, offered people the opportunity for an embodied, affective response to the abstractions of theology. Drama did typological work that allowed people to participate emotionally in the religious tradition’s soteriological view of the world. Here, we ask how that engagement worked.

  • “Supreme and Fiery Force” by Carmen Acevedo Butcher
    52 Copyright © 2015 Institute for Faith and Learning at Baylor University “Supreme and Fiery Force” BY CARMEN ACEVEDO BUTCHER Always a pioneer, Hildegard of Bingen is one of the first writers to include illustrations with her text, not as “mere decoration” but as integral to her theology. The importance to her thought of the Holy Spirit—the “supreme and fiery force”— is most evident in these brilliant miniature illuminations. eclared a Doctor of the Church in 2012, Hildegard of Bingen joined Augustine of Hippo, Gregory the Great, Thomas Aquinas, twenty- Dnine other men, and the trio of Teresa of Ávila, Catherine of Siena, and Thérèse of Liseux, but she had held that title unofficially for centuries. Contemporaries respected her highly; for example, University of Paris Master Odo of Soissons asked her perspective on a scholastic theological debate: “O wise woman,…we would like you to resolve a certain problem for us. Many contend that God is not both paternity and divinity. Would you please explain to us in a letter what you perceive in the heavens about this matter.”1 And Barbara Newman expresses most modern scholars’ view of Hildegard’s papal elevation: “It appears that the Roman tortoise has caught up with the dashing seer of Bingen at last.”2 From the esteem of her twelfth-century contemporaries to us who cherish her transformative theology, Hildegard offers much spiritual nourishment because her life was a sustained “experience of God,” as Carl Jung describes our one necessity, and also because, as Avis Clendenen observes, her worldview

  • Cloud and Clothe. Hildegard of Bingen's Metaphors of the Fall Of
    Cloud and Clothe. Hildegard of Bingen’s Metaphors of the Fall of the Human Soul 5 ACTA NEOPHILOLOGICA UDK: 821.124.09sv. Hildegarda DOI: 10.4312/an.49.1-2.5-18 Cloud and Clothe. Hildegard of Bingen’s Metaphors of the Fall of the Human Soul Sonja Weiss Abstract The paper examines Hildegard’s use of metaphors in her visions of the human fall, and the way she combined the biblical motif of Original Sin with the philosophical question of a soul’s embodiment, particularly in her moral play, Ordo virtutum, but also in her medical and visionary writings. The metaphor of the cloud sometimes blends with the metaphor of clothing (as in, “to clothe”), since the corporeal vestment of the soul before the Fall is said to resemble a cloud of light. Both metaphors are present in Hildegard’s other works, particularly the image of the cloud, which is frequently used to illustrate cosmological im- plications of Original Sin. The metaphor of clothing, on the other hand, reveals parallels with certain Christian Gnostic revelations, blended with the Neo-Platonic doctrine of the soul as enslaved to the body. Key words: Hildegard, Ordo virtutum, cloud, metaphor, original sin, Adam and Eve, soul. Acta_Neophilologica_2016_FINAL.indd 5 17.11.2016 8:55:55 6 SONJA WEIss 1 THE CLOUD OF DIVINE WISDOM AND GLORY Hildegard’s perception of Original Sin is reflected in the passages which refer to Adam and Eve, sometimes together and sometimes separately. References to Adam are usually depicting the human prototype rebelling against God, without specific allusions to Gen 3.
