The figure of John Bull stereotypically personifies the best and the worst traits of the British (or English) national character. The perspectives adopted in John Bull and the Continent extend the meaning of the metaphor and take the eponymous juxtaposition as an incentive to study the variety of multi-faceted relationships between the two sides.
