Explanation and Analysis:

Pilgrim's Progress uses rather ponderous 17th-century English, its complicated syntax heavily laden with religious quotations and allusions. Though the sentences don't exactly flow breezily for any reader, the diction and syntax may nevertheless sound distantly familiar to readers familiar with the King James Bible, whether because of its importance in Bunyan's day or its significant cultural impact even on modern English.
