Mr. March and Mrs. March are the center of the whole family. They are just like the light guiding the road that the four girls have taken. The austere life, orderly schedule and daily arrangement of the March reflect the Puritanism which advocates the thrifty, hard work, order, practice rather than luxury and excessive pleasures. During that period, men are the supporters of a family, and should go out to earn the bread, while women should center their lives on the home, immersing themselves in domestic tasks of housekeeping, child rearing, or providing comfort to their family. Puritans could overcome hardships and also are persevering, though they may make sacrifices. Mrs. March advocates the Four Sisters to play different roles in The Pilgrim’s Progress to make them understood the existence of setbacks. This book describes the process of the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. Facing difficulties, the Four Sisters are encouraged to conquer and challenge independently and bravely. By playing the game and reading this book, they learn how to face the burdens in the life, how to become the independent women in the society dominated by men, try their best to turn the burdens into motivations. Compared with the luxurious life, Puritans prefer the austere life, working regularly and industriously. Mrs. March allows the Four Sisters to experience the life without working. She educates that only the hard work can bring the satisfied and successful sense, which benefits the Four Sisters deeply. Just as Mrs. March says: “Nothing delighted you more than to have me tie my piece bags on your backs for burdens, give you hats and sticks and rolls of paper, and let you travel through the house from the cellar, which was the City of Destruction, up, up, to the housetop, where you had all the lovely things you could collect to make a Celestial.” She wants girls not only understand the disappointing and bitterness, but also guide them in thinking independently and rationally. What’s more, the Four Sisters are taught that work can bring more sense of power and independence than money and fashion clothes. Mrs. March always lets her daughters remember the admonishes of the Heavenly Father and monitors the Four Sisters to chant the guide book, self-questioning constantly, which reflects the doctrines of stressing the spiritual life and observing the ethnical moral standards. Puritans firmly believe that the eternal love could light the road ahead for them. Mr. March, a minister, is to the family what Jesus is to church. He is physically absent for most of this part. He is not the main hero but his spirit is the guidance for the whole family. Being a pursuing self-perfect example, he is mild, cautious, honest, and sympathy. His orderly schedule leads the Four Sisters to live a meaningful life.
