Detailed explanation-1: -In The Faerie Queene, Spenser creates an allegory: The characters of his far-off, fanciful “Faerie Land” are meant to have a symbolic meaning in the real world.
Detailed explanation-2: -“The Faerie Queene” is a historical, political and moral and spiritual allegory. Underlying the fairy tale of the first book, there is a deep underlying moral and spiritual allegory. For example, the Red Cross Knight stands for Holiness or piety or true religion.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first book follows the adventures of the Redcross Knight (or “Red Cross Knight"), the knight of Holiness. Redcross is on a mission from the Faerie Queene Gloriana to lead his companion, Una, back to her homeland where he is to defeat a mighty dragon that is terrorizing the people.
Detailed explanation-4: -Named after the one character we never actually meet, The Faerie Queene’s title evokes the mystery and power associated with the ruler of Faerie Land.
Detailed explanation-5: -At the personal and political level of the allegory, Queen Elizabeth is Gloriana, the Fairy Queen and the pride and glory of England, who sets various adventures to her knights, symbolising the courtiers of the queen of England, and the Red Cross Knight is one of them.
