Shepherds Character Analysis

The Shepherds tend their flocks in the Delectable Mountains of Immanuel’s Land, overlooking the Celestial City. They show kindness to Christian and Hopeful after the two men escape from Doubting Castle, and they later provide lodging to Christiana, Mercy, and their group. They also warn the pilgrims not to fall asleep on the Enchanted Ground.
