Summary/Abstract: Although medieval presentational genres are often defined as part of the popular religious culture, they often demonstrate sufficient, if not superb, capability for dramatizing important and complex doctrinal cases. What is more, this very capability could be considered as a marker of dramatic excellence. Despite the fact that The Somonyng of Everyman (XVI c.) is in its entirety, not an original dramatic text (being a relatively close translation of the Dutch Elckerlijc), it deserves critical admiration for its theological embodiment. This article aims to focus on some specific examples of such an embodiment while taking into account the theatrical faculties of the text.
