• Though the Devil plays an important part in Christian theology, it only plays a minor role in the later Moralities. In the moralities that dramatize Psychomachia, the conflict between good and evil was fought by the virtues and vices. The Devil is behind the scene and both the author and audience took his existence for granted. In the later moralities, however, the devil on the stage is an insignificant character. In Ulpian Fulwell's Like Will to Like, Lucifer the devil is at first looked down by Nichol Newfangle the vice, and at the end of the play he takes Nichol to hell on his back. In these two appearances, he has nothing to do with the plot of the play. He has no vices to follow his instruction. The reason for the devil's insignificancy in the later moralities is that he no longer is recognized as the procreator of the evils. The evildoers in the play is the result of not being seduced by allegorical vices in the Psychomachia tradition, but the result of the age. The moralities in the 1560's and later describes the society ant the evils the society produces.
