To subtly reveal this hidden personality I adopted the style of Alan Bennett’s monologue Playing Sandwiches where he gradually builds suspicion of the speaker‚ ultimately revealing the horrible truth.

Everyman‚ The Pardoner’s Tale‚ and Death The morality play Everyman and Chaucer’s The Pardoner’s Tale are examples of many works that used death as a subject.
