Please go to p. 451 to read about allegories of the Renaissance.
Then, in a small group, try reading the allegory play Everyman.
Finally, read about either The Pilgrim's Progress by Bunyan (pp. 452-453) or The Faerie Queene by Spenser (pp. 221-222).
Write a short summary comparing the main messages of the allegories studied: Plato's "Allegory of the Cave", Everyman allegory (in shortened, modern language version of the play), and The Pilgrim's Progress by Bunyan (pp. 452-453) or The Faerie Queene by Spenser (pp. 221-222)
