In Pilgrim's Progress, what type of character (dynamic or static, round or flat) is Christian? Think about specific examples from the story that prove your points. Then, consider the genre of Pilgrim's Progress (an allegory). Christian is often considered an "everyman"--an ordinary individual with whom the reader identifies easily. Think about the way Christian grows and changes as a character. Which do you think was more important to Bunyan: that he portray an individual character or that he portray an "every man"--a character who depicts the experience of all Christians?

Does the fact that the story is an allegory affect the way Christian is characterized? Write a well-developed paragraph describing Christian's character and your thoughts on the relationship between an allegory and the way characters are portrayed.
