Moved from the article itself: Thank you to those who contributed to this article.

I disagree with the element of the article which claims that in a morality play, personificaions of moral attributes attempt to persuade a man towards a more 'Godly' life rather than an evil one, as in actual fact, there will be personifications of both positive and negative (e.g the seven deadly sins) moral values, which will battle to claim the mans soul.

Change in Meaning

Perhaps something could be mentioned about the usage of "morality plays" to mean socially-conscious allegories and not just religious plays. The old EC Comics would be a good example, also film noir. I agree with the above, the article leaves out the dialectics involved, the contradictions and the struggles. JBDay 19:01, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
