    • A: The term “Everyman” refers to an ordinary or average person, often used to represent the common human experience. In literature, "Everyman" is a character who represents the common man and serves as a symbol of humanity as a whole, rather than a specific individual.

      The concept of "Everyman" is often used to explore universal themes and experiences that are shared by all people, regardless of their background or social status. It is a way of emphasizing the fundamental human qualities and experiences that connect us all, such as love, loss, and mortality.

      The term "Everyman" has also been used in a broader cultural sense to refer to the idea of the "common person" or the "man on the street." It is a way of acknowledging the importance of ordinary people in shaping society and culture, and recognizing their contributions to the world.
