Aslan And Queen Jadis By C. S. Lewis

An example is when in the three movies and the book series, Aslan is portrayed as a noble and powerful creation of Narnia. In the movies, Aslan is portrayed as king, protective, loving and even noble which is part of his character. In the book series, he is portrayed as a father figure to every character, talking to animals, playful and even having a sense of humor. For instance in the book, the Prince of Caspian, Aslan is shown as humorous when he attempts to make the Trufflehunter have belief in him through the picking of the dwarf with his mouth and giving a big shake. In the Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan is portrayed as playful. This is seen immediately he comes back from the dead and begins playing with Lucy and Susan for them to try catching

     My favorite character in this book would have to be Peter. He was a little bit of a tough guy yet timid, but wasn’t afraid to fight for his siblings lives. Peter was the oldest amongst his brother and two sisters and was most likely the brains and brawn of the bunch. In this story, Peter has to fight off a wolf to test his courage or, in Aslan’s words, win his spurs. He returns victorious and is knighted by the lion called Aslan. His brother Edmund, a very mischievous boy and a bother to his sisters Lucy and Susan, looks up to Him though he never admits to it. Peter was definitely the highlight of this book.

Characters can make or break a story. The way an author uses them decides whether the book will be a good book, or if it flops instead. Some great characters are Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby, Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series, and Jem Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. Each is used in a strategic way by the author to make their story seem whole. They affect themes, plots, and overall feelings in a book. In “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Harper Lee uses the character Jem Finch to demonstrate the themes of innocence and maturity. Lee creates such a personality for him that it has shaped his role in the story. Through Jem’s trust in the goodness of people, he shows his childhood innocence, while his experiences and new understandings help him mature.

In C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lewis emphasizes the three points of philosophy, themes, and symbolism throughout his writing. Lewis was a strong Christian man, and wanted to make children see and understand all the stories of the Bible. Therefore, he put Christian elements through his books, but with fantasy characters as well. Especially in this story, Lewis conveys the differences between good and evil. Aslan is represented as Christ just as the White Witch represents the sense of evil. Lewis wrote several books in this Narnia series, but The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe became the most famous and recognized of his novels.

with a recognizable England and Narnia but better, in The Last Battle. Aslan is God in Narnia, or

Women haven’t always had the freedom that they have today. Women were supposed to live a certain life even though sometimes they didn’t want to. They had to tend to their husbands at all time, stay home and do housework while still taking care of their children or being pregnant. Women were abused physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Although women were perceived to act and present themselves in a certain way, some young women went against the cult of the true woman hood not only to be different, but to escape he physical, emotional, and psychological abuse that they will or have encountered. In novels, The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Path and Lucy, by Jamaica Kincaid both young women have the similarity to rebel against the cult of true

C.S. Lewis wrote The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe because he wanted to write a children’s book “as a gift for his godchild” (Palmer). It began for him with a series of pictures that came into his mind. “Lewis stated, ‘Everything began with images; a faun carrying an umbrella, a queen on a sledge, a magnificent lion” (Kennedy). A fairy tale was forming in his mind and “‘At first there wasn't anything Christian about them; that element pushed itself in of its own accord’” (Kennedy), As the story progresses and Lewis’s characters and storyline begin to develop a seemingly clear relationship formed between The Bible and this novel. “Given Lewis’s strong Christian faith, that is not surprising. In fact, once the story was established, Lewis said he ‘...saw how stories of this kind could steal past a certain inhibition which had paralysed much of my own religion in childhood’” (Kennedy.) Even though C.S. Lewis started off writing a children's novel, many people perceive it to be a novel written in parallel to the Bible. Lewis has used Biblical references and a classic storyline to prove that good will alway triumph over evil. Aslan is labeled as a divine figure in the novel; he is also known as the son of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea. Aslan’s death and resurrection is like that of Christ. The four children are all considered important to in the world of Narnia, but in the real world they are

Another character definition is that Aslan was perfectly at home playing with the children and enjoying all the activities that they engaged in. It could be argued that this was a naïve approach and that children would not be comfortable playing in such a way with an adult or some godlike figure. However, Lewis illustrated Aslan as a lion that is playful and almost childlike. However it serves the purpose of persuading the young reader that Jesus is their true friend and loves to be identified with their activities. Understanding what make Aslan who he really was can be seen during a conversation between Edmund and his siblings. Lewis noted that “Aslan gave him a mysterious and horrible feeling just as it gave the others a mysterious and lovely feeling (51). This illustrates how the unseen presence of Aslan caused people to react differently, either defensively or in a positive manner. This can be compared to the Bible which is viewed by many as carrying a warning and by others as glad tidings as well as a message of hope.

The authors told the story from the point of view of each character throughout the story, even if that character was only in the book for a chapter or

The Magician's Nephew, the introduction to the Chronicles of Narnia integrates one of the common components in all high fantasy novels, the battle of good versus evil. Creation and destruction are two entities necessary for the continuation of life, one cannot be without the other. The two characters that are the embodiment of this theme are Aslan, the true king and creator of the world Narnia against Jadis, the annihilator of the world Charn and it's citizens. Digory and Polly are the dynamic duo that bring forth an evil in the world that is not even "five hours old."

I have never read any other book by this author. I would be willing to read another work of C.S. Lewis’s work of literature. I want to read another one of her books because I loved this one. In this book the setting is in England and throughout the book english words and slang are woven through. This helps me build a better background for the characters and helps me visualize the setting and time. I also like the way she wrote the chapters from one group of characters going trough the event and then the next chapter is about the same event or how that same event effected the other characters.

Edmund enters Narnia through the wardrobe and first finds the White Witch, who, in this story, is the ‘Devil’ or ‘demon’ character. In turn for his companionship, she offers him Turkish Delights, which Edmund develops an insatiable taste for. This is the sin of gluttony, and the White Witch is the temptress. Lewis chose a woman because throughout history, the person who tempts the protagonist is usually a woman or genderless being. Edmund soon realizes the White Witch’s evil intentions. A rescue party is sent for Edmund after his realizations and he is almost killed. When found, Aslan essentially ‘gambles’ his life for Edmunds, which is also a

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first of several novels in the C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia. These books tell stories of another universe that is called Narnia. Here there are many unearthly things from talking animals and evil witches. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the story of four young siblings who discover this new world by entering a wardrobe. Little did they know, they were destined to become the new royalty of Narnia but only after going through many battles. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis analyzes the character Lucy, the theme of good versus evil, and the parallels of Narnia to other literature and Lewis’s life.

Lewis wanted to show the reader, a man who's life is based on the ideals
