Marlowe's pageant of seven deadly sins

 All Seven Deadly Sins conjured up by Mephistopheles' demon associates to entertain Faustus are an allegory in the most literal meaning of the word.

An allegory is a tangible, physical representation of an abstract notion. And in this scenario, the seven deadly sins (which, if not repented of, will permanently alienate a person from God) appear as real individuals.

Pride, Covetousness (Greed), Envy, Wrath, Gluttony, Sloth, and Lechery (Lust) parade in front of Faustus in the strangest parade ever marched. They talk about their ancestors—where they came from and who they are—as well as their distinguishing features. Their ancestry may sometimes serve as a metaphor for how sin takes root in the soul.
