   Everyman then offers to give Death “a thousand pound” if he will postpone this whole matter “till another day”. Death, though, says that he places no value on gold, silver or riches, and asks Everyman to come with him. Everyman pleads with Death: his book of reckoning, he says, is not ready.

   Analysis. Augustine's passionate attachment to his friends serves as the basis of this section, which discusses the nature of friendship. The death of Augustine's childhood friend in Thagaste acts as another message from God. His friend's Catholic family has him baptized on his deathbed, just as was almost done to Augustine.

   Sep 12, 2017 · For those not in Christ, death is only enemy. This life is the best it will ever get. For those in Christ, death is also, and more deeply, friend.

   “Holy Sonnet 10,” often referred to by its opening line (“Death, be not proud”), was written by the English poet and Christian cleric John Donne in 1609 and first published in 1633. The poem is a direct address to death, arguing that it is powerless because it acts merely as a “short sleep” between earthly living and the eternal afterlife—in essence, death is nothing to fear.

   • Although it initially seems that Death sets out in search of all people who fail to live according to God’s law, he instead finds the character Everyman, making clear that Everyman is meant to symbolize “every one.” He symbolizes all people, which also drives home that all people in the view of the play are sinful.

   Is death an enemy or a friend?

   • Death is neither entirely an enemy nor a friend. Those who speak of death mainly as an enemy surely understate their case, and those who think of death mainly as a friend do the same. Death is more awful, more invasive, more bizarre than any of us could adequately feel. Jesus himself was deeply indignant when a friend died (John 11:33, 38).

We are all in this world together, and we ought to use the suffering of others to learn how to live better so that we are better prepared for our own death, which is merely a translation to another world.
