One theme is alienation and loneliness. Everyman discovers that when he faces death and God's judgment, he must do so alone.
Another theme is atonement and forgiveness. Everyman seeks atonement for his sins and then is given God's forgiveness for his sins.
Everyman also discovers that earthly friends and family will ultimately betray you because they are selfish. Everyman is forced to look for greater truths when he's abandoned by others.
Everyman isn't prepared to go with death to meet God, and he asks for extra time to get ready. He uses this time to look at how he's spent his life.
The importance of God and religion is also shown. Religion provides the way to get God's salvation.
It's believed that good deeds will get a person to heaven. Family, friends, or any earthly possessions aren't important.
Knowledge gives Everyman the help he needs to recognize and understand how he has sinned. This knowledge leads him to confession and salvation.
Sin is the main theme of the play. Sin causes man to stray from God, and he must renounce his sins in order to be saved.
