Thanks for arguing your case here. The lessons of morality are needed for future generations. Perhaps the argument could be much stronger in the first paragraph and then at the end summation.

I also agree with Buentello. It is now thought to be based upon a Dutch play, Elckerlijk (‘‘Everyman’’), written in 1495 by Petrus Dorlandus, a Carthusian monk.

I would also like to see some reference to what people of the day thought of the play and those critics of today as well.
