Guyon And The Palmer Sparknotes
Guyon, as a follower of a Pauline Christianity, tries to set an example of temperance and a morallyā€“grounded lifestyle. In doing so, he
continuously espies adventures aiding in the virtues of goodwill. On these adventures, as in life, he forms a fellowship with God in order to
follow the straight and narrow path that will lead to a more virtuous life and eventually Heaven. Guyon and the Palmer are the two characters,
which complete this fellowship insofar as the Palmer is always the voice of reason to Guyon and guides him whenever he turns the "wrong

the BoB seems in contradiction with the archetype of a man who follows a Christian lifestyle. Analyzing this through the lens of humorism,
understanding Guyon's dominant humour as sanguineā€“the active protagonist and easily changeable (CITE)ā€“and yet, in this moment, his act of
violence aligns with the phlegmatic humour (CITE). This change in the dominance of humours would mean that the man had an imbalance of
humours and therefore acted according to this "imbalance" (CITE). The fellowship of the Palmer is indispensable and for a second time in this
Canto, he intervenes with incredible timing again displaying the necessity of their
