"Life and Death of Mr. Badman" by John Bunyan is a late 17th-century dialogue that acts as a counterpart to "The Pilgrim’s Progress," illustrating the immoral life of Mr. Badman and the repercussions of sin. The conversations between Mr. Wiseman and Mr. Attentive explore themes of sin, repentance, and the impact of life choices on one's afterlife. The story starts with Mr. Wiseman's grief over the death of the wicked Mr. Badman. Mr. Attentive asks why he is upset, which leads to a discussion about Mr. Badman's immoral life from childhood to death. Mr. Wiseman shares that Mr. Badman was a well-known sinner from a young age, often lying, stealing, and leading others into trouble. The book shows that Mr. Badman's life, full of moral failings, led to his tragic death, serving as a warning to those who follow a similar path of sin.
