Early Quest and Portal Fantasies
-Bunyan used dreaming to contextualize his allegory
-the effect on the tone of the fantasy is to create an unevenness, an alteration of description and familiarity

-what we are privy to is recorded emotion: we can feel only what vane says he feels. this is first person narrated.
-we can only truly understand the world through simile, or in its effect upon him.
