摘要：Addressing theatricality in the English morality play Mankind may seem redundant when a host of studies and essays have done precisely this (Kelley; Garner; Twycross). Nonetheless, the play's theatricality is worth investigating anew so as to unravel the striking parallel – albeit presumably unintended – between its embo- diment of the devil and the Lateran IV doctrine of the Real Presence, and to study the role the play's original audience may have been cast in. A brief review of the medieval development of the doctrines concerning embodiment in two of the most extreme theological cases, i.e. the bodily presence of Christ in the Eucharist and the devil's ontological status, is necessary for clarifying how the twentieth-century views of theatricality as embodiment bear upon the theatrical and doctrinarian strategies of fifteenth-century Mankind.
