Answer 1

The character's match as the following text shows:

Evangelist - shows the path of God to Christian.

Obstinate - stops Christian from pursuing his path and hates change. Beelzebub - the prince of devils; creates the Vanity Fair, which is full of temptations.

Pliable - agrees to join Christian in his journey but easily changes his mind.

Answer 2

1. Evangelist - shows the path of God to Christian.
2. Obstinate - stops Christian from pursuing his path and hates change. 3. Beelzebub - the prince of devils; creates the Vanity Fair, which is full of temptations.
4. Pliable - agrees to join Christian in his journey but easily changes his mind.

These characters are all similar to how we use these words now. An evangelist is a devout Christian who encourages others to follow Christ. Someone who is described as obstinate is very stubborn and resistant to change.

Beelzebub is a character in many different stories and cultures and is always associated with evil, Satan, or the devil. It is also interesting that he creates the Vanity Fair which is full of temptations. This is similar to Vanity Fair magazine which highlights all of the latest fashion trends and temptations for women.

Pliable is a common adjective that people use to describe things that are easily molded or changed. A pliable person will be easily persuaded to do something that originally he/she was not interested in.
