Morality Plays
Morality plays are a type of dramatic performance that originated in medieval Europe, typically featuring allegorical characters representing virtues and vices. These plays often sought to teach moral lessons or convey religious messages through the interactions and choices made by the characters. The characters in morality plays are often symbolic rather than realistic, embodying abstract concepts such as Good Deeds, Everyman, and the Devil. These plays were popular in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance periods and served as a form of entertainment as well as a tool for moral instruction.
