Well in the first part Christian is a man, travelling with other men, so he fights Apollyon and goes through a hair-raising few experiences. It's more in-your-face, exciting stuff with few stops on the way. The first half is really an adventure story. In the second half, Christiana is his wife (widow, he's supposed to have died by then) and she is travelling with her kids. This time Greatheart is sent along with her, to keep her safe. A woman at that time when it was written (17th century) was seen as "weaker" so the author doesn't put her in such violent scenes; there is more philosophy and emphasis on the need to be obedient to the rules (like when her sons eat the "forbidden fruit.") They do a lot more stopping and resting in different places, and in those places the rests are longer, to give the author a chance to roll out his "teaching" and doctrines etc. There's more emphasis on family life, marriage etc. while poor old Christian had to go it alone. She doesn't even seem to remember him all that much. |

"Who would true valour see, let him come hither." That's the first line of his famous hymn, to be a Pilgrim.Might make a good starting point. How much do you knoe already? He was born and lived in Elstow, near Bedford, England. He was a tinker. He preached all around the area, and was put in Bedford Gaol for his views. He wrote the allegorical story "Pilgrim's Progress." Hope this helps |
