I recently visited this classic in preparation for a class I'm teaching on early British Literature. It's an allegorical play, which is fantastic, except the concepts are so in-your-face that there's no need to think about what any of it means. Nevertheless, it's an interesting glimpse into the mindset of the time which is that as long as man (and one hopes woman) confesses and asks for forgiveness, they can achieve salvation. It does create some fun discussions in the classroom and it's a somewhat easy read.
