“ No longer does she tempt him with empty promises, but instead treats him like a slave.” (Lewis page 91) Edmund no longer wishes to be a part of her plan or on her side. Still being selfish Edmund is only concerned with the well being of himself. He just wants to get out of the sticky situation he is in. However he is no longer has intent on being evil but has not yet decided to be good. “Everything he had said to make himself believe that her side was really the right side sounded silly now” (Lewis page 110).

I wouldn’t presume to understand why Edmund would be so distrusting in his siblings. Edmund constantly acts as though he is hiding something, he acts as though he cannot trust anyone. Even before Edmund meets the witch his is always acting shifty. This dishonesty Edmunds exhibits is one of his key personality traits the witch preys upon. She is almost immediately aware that she will be able to manipulate him easily. Unfortunately for Edmund and his family alike, this misplaced faith in the witch makes him follow her nearly blindly, it also leads me to believe he is capable of strong faith in something. If he would have not been left alone he wouldn’t have been led astray by the witch. He also would not have had this opportunity to learn a valuable

Pausing for a moment and shouting. “With the wind,” pleased they are gone, and thinking they must have caught a call, Freddie laughs, folding the paper and gently tucking it under his arm.
