This part of the story really stood out to me because of the way characteristics, or virtues were personified. There was danger, doubt, fear, hope, desire, dissembling, suspicion and more. Each one represented the emotion by their expression or the way they were dressed. The entire book is one epic poem, one of the longest poems written in English.
