now, the question is: how does giving the characters allegorical names author john bunyan convey his theme?

a. allegorical names show that the story in bunyan's book is not to be taken seriously, but that its theme, or message, is to be taken seriously.
b. the negative names, such as ignorance and flatterer, remind the reader that there are more different types of evil than of good in this world.
c. when a character is named after a trait, such as ignorance, the reader can imagine that the character's fate will befall real people who have that trait.
d. by allegorically naming the characters that christian meets, the author implies that people in real life can also represent sins such as ignorance or flattery.

i would appreciate it if someone could sooner rather than later!

B. The negative names, such as Ignorance and Flatterer, remind the reader that there are more different types of evil than of good in this world.

answer: the correct answer is that he still ridicules people that look different.

explanation: in "the nose"   by nikolai gogol, the author sets up a satirical view of russian society. the book is divided into three parts and tells the story of collegiate assessor ('major') kovalyov, who gets up one morning without his nose. he later finds out that his nose has developed a life by itself, and has apparently surpassed him by attaining the rank of state councillor. the short story showcases the obsession with social rank that plagued russia after peter the great introduced the table of ranks. by allowing commoners to attain hereditary nobility through service to the state, a large population was given the chance to move up in social status. this opportunity, however, also gave way to large bureaucracies, in which many of gogol's characters worked.
