Everyman Scene from Independent Production

I think this scene is actually quite powerful, isn't it? It is all very bizarre, of course, but that in itself contributes to giving the thing an otherworldly feel that is quite appropriate. I also think it is a good example of the point I made in class about how stories and human interactions can be more compelling than abstract arguments. The scene we see here definitely leaves more of an impression than if one were to read something general about how all men have to die, and how you have to be ready because you never know when death may come. In this scene one gets an idea of the real surprise and terror Everyman feels, which one might not get from the mere statement of the facts.
