Solution: The pilgrimage is a religious expedition. It has the following effects:

1. It sets the metaphor of a journey both physical and literary. A journey is generally a symbol of human curiosity and growth.  

2. A pilgrimage is not only for penance and grace but also a time when people abandon work and take a vacation. therefore it sets a 'carnivalesque'  setting. Celebrations are often used in literature for subversion of established social order.

3. A pilgrimage is taken by almost all types of people; therefore it provides apt setting where characters representing different social, political, cultural and economic backgrounds can come together. This way he could reveal more about the society he is criticizing.

This list is not exhaustive, more can be added to it.

Which of the following contributes to the development of literary movements?
aev [14]
The correct answer is C, historical context. There have been many literary movements throughout time, starting from the old era, to the postmodernism that is today. And usually, each literary movement was created as a reaction to the previous movement - romanticism was before realism, modernism was after realism, etc. The historical context demanded changes, and as years passed, people and their needs changed, and thus new literary movements were created. During Queen Victoria, there was Victorian era, where everyone was reserved and cared about their reputation, and that reflected in the literature. When people needed something modern, modernism emerged. When technology thrived, cyber punk literature was created. Every era demands a different approach to literature, and thus new movements are born.
