The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan | Characters, Summary, Analysis

The Pilgrim’s Progress is a Christian allegory which means that at one hand, the book tells a story of a man leaving the City of Destruction to the Celestial City of Heaven, at another hand, it tells about the general life of everyman and how one should strive for a better pious Christian life away from sins. It is a two-part book. Book 1 was published in the year 1678 and Book 2 was published in 1684.
The full title of Book 1 is The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come. John Bunyan was in jail when he wrote this book. One day when he was sleeping in jail, he saw a dream and he reproduced the idea of that dream in form of a book. The opening line of The Pilgrim’s Progress is ‘As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place where was a den, and laid me down in that place to sleep; and as I slept, I dreamed a dream ’. The den in this sentence symbolizes the imprisonment where Bunyan was jailed. The entire book 1 is presented as dream sequences narrated by an omniscient narrator, a narrator who already knows everything about the story, characters, and events, and just letting the readers know.
So this is it about The Pilgrim’s Progress. We will continue to discuss the history of English Literature as we strive to offer a complete course for the preparation of UGC NET English literature, NTA NET English literature, PGTRB English,, SET English literature, TGT PGT English, GATE English Literature, and other exams, please stay connected with the Discourse, Thanks, and Regards!
