Which of the following arrangements of famous characters is in the correct chronological order ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Reading Beatrice as the Shakespeare character, Hermione from The Winter’s Tale precedes Vittoria in The White Devil, and Christiana appears much later in Pilgrim’s Progress PartII. This yields Beatrice, Hermione, Vittoria, Christiana. Beatrice is not uniquely identified, but a Dantean identification would also place her first; the other offered orders remain inconsistent with the principal references.
