Christian

Christian is the common man, who suddenly fears for his soul after having a revelation about Hell. He leaves his family to make a Pilgrimage to Celestial City. Along the way he meets various characters that try to lead him off the path, usually by suggesting he take an easier paths, which turn out to be false. Evangelist, who appears at various times to act as his guide, assists Christian. He also forms strong friendships with Faithful, who is martyred in Vanity, and Hopeful, who helps him overcome doubt and remain strong in his faith.

After Christian reaches Celestial City, his family sets out to join him. Along their journey, their guide points out all of the places where Christian had adventures. Those who respected Christian on his pilgrimage welcome the family. These circumstances make it significantly easier for the family to complete their pilgrimage.
