Everyman-Paragraph on the Personification of the character Death

This is for my upcoming research paper of English 102: Composition and Literature. After the Introduction Paragraph, this is the second paragraph in my essay. 

 Personification is a ''Figure of speech that attributes human characteristics to inanimate objects or animals'' (Analyzing and Interpreting Literature, 2012, p. 2010). While personification is used frequently in Everyman, it was done in a way that would have made it easily understandable to those of its time. Everyman follows many social conventions of its day. As an example, personification is shown in those born to the gifts of fortune like Fellowship and Goods, while showing others such as Strength and Beauty, to have gifts of nature. However, only some gifts are eternal, as represented by characters like Good Deeds, and only those that are good are good because of God's grace in the sacraments (Ruud, 2006, p. 217). With all this said, the character Death has been commanded by God to warn Everyman of the coming judgement (Everyman 64-73). Death, as a preacher of judgement, importantly personifies the reality that all will someday die as he goes to warn Everyman of the coming judgement (Everyman 64-73). Death, in perhaps irony to his own name, shares the most important message that Everyman will ever hear: at death, all men will face God on Judgement day (Everyman 157-160.) Everyman comes to adhere to God's command by going on a pilgrimage (Everyman 241-247). However, Fellowship quickly forsakes Everyman when he hears that Everyman has been delivered this message from Death (Everyman 262-269) and (Everyman 287-288). While Everyman is mortal like Fellowship and Goods, and will like them and all humanity someday die, only he heeds Death's message about the coming judgement. In the same way, the Bible teaches that the vast majority will not inherit eternal life due to their rebellion against God (Matthew 7: 12-13) and (Romans 2: 6). Despite facing rejection from Fellowship and Goods from joining him on his journey,  Everyman holds fast to his pilgrimage to be with God as his friend Good Deeds accompanies him (Everyman 649-652). Like Death's warning of God's coming judgement for the wicked, the Bible teaches God's desire for all to repent (2 Peter 3: 9) despite man's own sin bringing on himself his own destruction (Romans 14: 23). The fact that all will meet God someday, either to be with Him eternally or apart from Him forever, is a reminder of how death takes all to the grave, both rich and poor. Death, ultimately serves as an ambassador in the play, preaching a message that many would rather ignore, though the reality he preaches of, is one that no one will be able to someday ignore.
