The Pilgrim's Progress (full title: The Pilgrim's Progress From This World, To That Which Is to Come: Delivered under the Similtude of a Dream, Wherein is Discovered, the manner of his setting out, His Dangerous Journey, and safe arrival at the Desired Country) is an allegorical work by John Bunyan, first published in 1678. It was written during Bunyan's terms in prison for holding worship services outside the auspices of the official Church of England.The story is in two parts (originally published separately) and concerns the journey of an everyman named Christian (and, later, his wife and family in the second part) from the City of Destruction (this world) to the Celestial City (the world which is to come, Heaven). The journey is fraught with dangers, and there are many temptations to leave the straight and narrow road. Christian meets good friends and deadly enemies on the path. Though he makes mistakes along the way that nearly result in his destruction, Christian is forgiven when he returns to the true road, and eventually is allowed to enter the Celestial City.At one time, this book was nearly ubiquitous in the houses of British and American Protestants. Many nineteenth-century literary works refer to it, including Little Women and Villette. It provides the origin for the term "muckraker" for a certain type of journalism and supplied William Makepeace Thackeray with the title for his novel Vanity Fair. C. S. Lewis also put his own spin on it with his allegorical novel The Pilgrim's Regress. | |

Card-Carrying Villain: Some of the folks with Names to Run Away from Really Fast indicate this such as Worldly-Wiseman who gives worldly advice, Lord Hate-Good, an evil judge who tries Christian and Faithful for not conforming to Vanity Fair's ideologies and Apollyon, an image of Satan. | |

Easy Road to Hell | |
| The Pilgrim's Progress / int_23a0f25f | comment |
Easy Road to Hell: Played With. Christian is nearly drawn out of the King's Highway either on advice from worldly folks such as Worldly Wiseman, or on other companions, such as Hopeful intending to get some rest on the byway to Doubting Castle. Still, as long as he and other pilgrims still keep their scroll to enter the Celestial City, they're all good. For others such as two men who tried to find alternate routes around Hill Difficulty, and Ignorance, who never possessed the scroll to enter the City, all end up being eternally condemned. | |

Meaningful Name: Almost everyone is named after a virtue or vice, and the implications of their role in a Christian's day-to-day life. Even those bearing the name of Biblical characters represents something related to the Christian living. Then you have places like The City of Destruction, Prating Row, Stupidity, Vanity Fair, the Slough of Despond, The Valley of Death... | |

Doomed Moral Victor: Faithful is tortured to death for refusing to renounce his faith and rejecting the consumerism of Vanity Fair, but as Evangelist predicted, this not only means he goes on to his reward before Christian, but the sight of his spirit being carried off to heaven inspires Hopeful and many others who had become disillusioned with the spiritual emptiness of Vanity to begin their own pilgrimages. | |

Hope Crusher: Giant Despair captures pilgrims who come too close to Doubting Castle, locks them in his dungeon, beats them, starves them, provides them implements for committing suicide, and shows them the bones of other pilgrims he's killed, all for no other reason than to make them lose hope. Fortunately, Christian remembers he had the key to escape from the dungeons with him all along, allowing him and Hopeful to hurry out of there. | |

| The Pilgrim's Progress / int_a68421bb | comment |
Animated Adaptation: In 1950 an hour-long animated version was made by Baptista Films. This version was edited down to 35 minutes and re-released with new music in 1978. In 1985 Yorkshire Television produced a 129-minute nine-part serial presentation with animated stills by Alan Parry and narrated by Paul Copley entitled Dangerous Journey. Five Nights at Freddy's developer Scott Cawthon directed and narrated a 2005 computer animation movie and also produced a video game adaptation. In 2019 a computer animated film adaptation titled The Pilgrim's Progress was released and featured the voice of John Rhys-Davies. | |

Hanging Judge | |
| The Pilgrim's Progress / int_a80ad52c | comment |
Hanging Judge: Judge Hate-Good, who says Faithful doesn't deserve to live any longer even before the Joker Jury has passed its verdict. When Faithful is inevitably found guilty, Judge Hate-Good sentences him to the cruelest death that the court can devise, ending with being burned at the stake. | |

Mordor: The Valley of the Shadow of Death is portrayed as this, fitting as it contains several entrances to hell. It also predates the Trope Namer by over three centuries. | |

Big Brother Mentor | |
| The Pilgrim's Progress / int_ab17f66 | comment |
Big Brother Mentor: Hopeful is the newcomer who tags along Christian's journey halfway through the pilgrimage after being impressed by the latter's faith, and learns about the way of salvation from him. Their roles were quickly reversed though, as Hopeful ends up having the stronger faith and is the one who encourages and supports Christian when he falls into doubt and depression. | |

Take That! | |
| The Pilgrim's Progress / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: A couple at the Catholic Church, including the Giant Pope, who is shown as being extremely old and weak, but in the past lured Christians away from the faith. There's also some jabs at the notion of government-approved religion (i.e., the Church of England), but these are a bit more subtle. | |

Knight Templar | |
| The Pilgrim's Progress / int_bbfaa837 | comment |
Knight Templar: Moses is depicted as a harsh and violent judge who tries to kill Faithful for his momentarily weakness. (Yes, that Moses. He's meant to represent the Law, i.e. it can only condemn people for disobedience, but can't actually bring salvation, since knowing the law doesn't give people the power to obey). | |

Break Them by Talking | |
| The Pilgrim's Progress / int_bf110089 | comment |
Break Them by Talking: Defied. The character Shame attempts this on Faithful to get him off the path, but Faithful refuses to be swayed by his vicious shaming language. Apollyon also tries this on Christian, but Christian stands fast. Meanwhile, Mr. Talkative tries to get the better of Christian and Faithful in a long-winded debate, but only succeeds in being an annoying pill who isn't interested in doing anything about his beliefs. | |

Names to Trust Immediately | |
| The Pilgrim's Progress / int_c2d04a04 | comment |
Names to Trust Immediately: For every bad person there will always be at least one good person representing what good people Christians will encounter. For example, Help, who...well, helps Christian out of the Slough of Despond, Evangelist who motivates Christian to start his journey to the Celestial City and The Interpreter who teaches Christian and any future pilgrims about how to live their lives correctly. The Shining Ones also tend to the pilgrims, being representative of God's Angels. Finally, Goodwill, the keeper of the Wicket Gate willingly allows Christian and later his wife and children and their accompanying friend, "with all of [his] heart"; as such, he is identified as none other than Jesus Christ Himself. | |

Flat-Earth Atheist: Unsurprisingly, the character of Atheist gets depicted this way, since in the story Heaven is a place that you can actually see and walk up to, yet he claims not to have found it after twenty years in searching. Hopeful says he is "blinded by the god of this World" (i.e. Satan). | |

Hypocrite: Obviously, Christian runs into a few. Remarkably, the one actually named 'Hypocrite' doesn't get much time to show off his hypocrisy. A better example is shown in Talkative, who talks good game but Christian knows him personally to be a terrible person. | |

Composite Character | |
| The Pilgrim's Progress / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: In the original book, the only time John Bunyan actually interacts with the cast is when he asks about the Slough. In the Animated Adaptation from the 70s, Bunyan doesn't appear in the story at all and Christian fulfils the role of inquiring about it. In the 1979 Ken Anderson film Christiana, Christian and Christiana only have three children, two boys and a girl, instead of four sons. | |

Writer on Board: John Bunyan takes some time in the book and temporarily stops the story to state his views on some allegorisations he made to Christianity, otherwise he notes of some important points when the pilgrims encounter a dire situation. He even has some conversation and discussion with one Mr. Sagacity in the beginning of the second part. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Two of Faithful's momentary weaknesses are this; the first is when he encounters Wanton (he resists her offer, but is uncertain whether he fully escaped her charms), and the second is when Old Adam tries to bring Faithful into bondage by offering Faithful marriage to his three daughters, which tempts Faithful. | |
