similarites between Hamlet and Everyman

In comparing the two plays, I found a few differences, but the ones that really jumped out at me were the concepts of death and abandonment. It goes without saying that Hamlet is a play full of death - hell, the main character even dies. The story isn't directly telling you that it is a process of death like Everyman did, but the reader/audience can probably infer that that is the road down which Prince Hamlet is headed - toward his own death. Meanwhile, Everyman, from the beginning, is about one man's journey towards death, and the audience follows along until the aforementioned death of everyman.

I also found abandonment to be an issue in both plays. It is certainly way more clear in Everyman, the way all of his friends, upon learning he is dying, start leaving him. In Hamlet, it's more of a concept of everyone turning against him and/or dropping like flies as the story progresses. I mean, when your friends die, part of the grieving process is anger - it's rather normal to feel abandoned by them, even if they didn't actually mean to die.
