The Morality Play: More than Just a Lesson Learned

Moral drama is an allegorical drama that teaches ethics courses, especially popular among medieval viewers. Today, the moral drama "everyone" occasionally plays and reads at universities and church organizations. These works usually focus on academic or religious ideology. Author Ron Tanner of "Humor of Humor" and "Moral Play of the Middle Ages of England" believes that the value of this drama is beyond this narrow focus.

However, in a more atheistic contemporary audience, the belief in the world after death will be less and less, so the full meaning of the situation may be lost.
