The Pilgrim's Progress

Bunyan's allegory features relatable characters with distinctive names like Honest and Ignorance, avoiding mere caricatures. The narrative unfolds in two parts: the first follows Christian's solitary journey from the City of Destruction, facing challenges like the Slough of Despond and Vanity Fair. The second part shifts focus to Christiana, who travels with a supportive group, highlighting the contrast between individual struggle and communal strength. Both pilgrims aim for the Celestial City, yet their experiences and interactions differ significantly.
