Everyman (English spelling)

Japanese: エブリマン(英語表記)Everyman
Everyman (English spelling)
An English morality play. It was written around 1495 and is thought to have been a translation of the Dutch "Elckerlijc." Its theme is the conflict between virtue and vice in humans, and it allegorically teaches that when death comes, only good deeds will be present at the final judgment seat. The characters, who are personified as knowledge, beauty, friendship, etc., go beyond mere symbolism and are brilliant as character portrayals. It was revived in London by W. Paul in 1901. In 1920, Hofmannsthal's adaptation, "Jedermann" (1911), was performed in a spectacular style at the Salzburg Festival, which caused a great sensation, and it has since become a regular event at the festival.

Japanese:
イギリスの道徳劇。執筆は 1495年頃で,オランダの"Elckerlijc"からの翻訳と推定される。人間をめぐる美徳と悪徳の葛藤をテーマとし,死が訪れたとき,最後の審判の席に立会ってくれるのは善行以外ないという教訓を寓意的に描く。知識,美,友情など擬人化されて登場する人物は,単なる象徴をこえて性格描写としても精彩を放っている。 1901年 W.ポールがロンドンで復活させた。 20年にホーフマンスタールによる翻案『イェーダーマン』 (1911) がザルツブルク祝祭の際,スペクタクル様式で上演されて大きな反響を呼び,以後同祝祭の恒例行事となった。
