Which of the following is NOT a typical feature of morality plays?

They are historical chronicles with no moral themes They are allegorical and rely on the personification of abstract concepts They include the choir as a method of storytelling They aim to teach moral lessons

Correct Answer:

They are historical chronicles with no moral themes

Explanation:

Morality plays are built to teach readers and audiences through clear moral contrasts. They present abstract qualities as characters—things like Virtue, Vice, Death, or Strength—so the audience can see how moral choices play out and what the consequences of those choices are. The chorus or choir often steps in to narrate, reflect, or comment on the action, helping to frame the moral message for the audience. They aren’t about recording historical events or presenting chronicles without moral meaning; the whole purpose is to illustrate moral lessons and encourage virtuous behavior. So the statement that they are historical chronicles with no moral themes doesn’t fit what morality plays are designed to do.
