Abstract:

This article will consider Samuel Beckett's Mercier and Camier and John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress as quest narratives, in terms of their similarities as well as their differences. An important point of comparison is the common genre background that these two texts share, and the very different treatments that the two writers give to this traditional theme and structure.
