    The characters differ in the relationship with Everyman as they promise not to forsake Everyman to the grave.

    Explanation:

    Everyman is a morality play written anonymously. The play's protagonist is 'Everyman' that represents an average man or every-man in the world.

    The play is about what goes with a man to the grave. The play starts with an announcement that Everyman, the protagonist, is going to die. Then the protagonist goes to his friends to ask them to accompany him to his grave. But the friends whom he called as his true friends, Fellowship, Kindred, Cousin, Goods, Beauty, Strength, etc all left him as soon as they knew that Everyman is going to die.

    But, when the fair-weather friends denied accompanying Everyman to his grave, Good Deeds, Knowledge, Confession, etc agreed to accompany him to his grave. When Everyman was put in the grave, the only friend left with Everyman was Good Deeds.

    So, the difference between the fair-weather friends and other friends in the play is that the former ones denied to accompany him whereas later ones agreed.
