Lucy Pevensie In The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe

Vera Claythorne, a games mistress and former governess to Cyril Ogilvie Hamilton, may not be as innocent as she seems. Starting off as a proper, sympathetic, and intelligent woman in Agatha Christie’s novel And Then There Were None, Claythorne drastically changes from beginning to end. When Mrs. Una Nancy Owen invited her to the island, Vera seems a bit confused. Not knowing why she was invited other than because she was “fit for the job”, she accepted and planned to serve as a secretary to Owen. When asked to go to the island, it could be believed that she has horrifying flashbacks from the day she murdered Cyril Hamilton.

Lennie’s character in the book can represent the child or the fool in the story. All throughout the story he shows signs of resembling a child. He throws tantrums, whines, and complains about things just like a child would. For example, when Lennie tries to sneak the puppy into the bunkhouse and George takes it from

Memory is the quality that allows the readers to personally connect with a work of art. Relatable works tend to have more of an emotional impact on the reader. Symbols are used to connect the tangible to something intangible. Through this connection, readers will associate the aspects of the thing being symbolized to the symbol. For example, if a character is used to symbolize the devil in a work of art, the audience will associate the aspects of the devil to the character. Patterns allow readers to parallel one work of art to another work of art.

In the novel, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, betrayal takes place in many situations and it is almost always followed by forgiveness. Some of the motives behind the betrayal in the novel include- fear, spite, temptation, pride, selfishness, and doing what is right. In C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Lewis includes the recurring theme of betrayal and forgiveness. The first examples of betrayal are by Mr.Tumnus.

Lucy was born August 13, 1818 in West Brookfield, Massachusetts. She had 8 siblings and her parents were farmers. Lucy’s father taught her to have anti-slavery beliefs, but she was angered that her father thought that men were dominant over women. She had a passion for public speaking and women’s rights. At sixteen she became a teacher and was furious when her brother told her that women had a lower income than men. To try to solve that

Lewis describes their first meeting with Aslan as, “they just caught a glimpse of the golden mane and the great, royal, solemn, overwhelming eyes; and then they found they couldn’t look at him and went all trembly” (Lewis 140). All four children were petrified to look at, let alone speak to Aslan. This hesitance to communicate was not out of fear but of adoration, much like when people first encountered Jesus. Those who believed in him could see the majesty and power he possessed even in his human form. The Pevensie children eventually overcome their uneasiness and come to see Aslan as the savior of both Narnia and

At the age of 14, Lucy described herself as critical, sarcastic and she also believes that she is rather rebellious. She states that she has always had a problem with authority. Lucy does not seem to understand why this might be. This may have to do with the nature side of her development. When Lucy was 7 years old, she was not willing to back down when others were wrong and she was willing to correct them. A 14 year old Lucy also stated that whenever she knows that she is right and the other person is wrong, she will not allow someone to put her in her place. However, an older Lucy believes that she can take criticism

When Lucy wanders a little farther than she is used from the house, Lynn gets agitated over her safety. If Lucy is ever to go out of her sights with Stebbs, she was protective in asking if he would be able to defend her with a rifle (page 205).

But unfortunately Mirabelle is having a rough time with the changes,but she isn't the only one throughout the stages. They all hope to become human and pass the test. But will Mirabella make it ?

One way Steinbeck shows Lennie’s childlike innocence is through Lennie not knowing right from wrong. In the beginning of the story Lennie and George are walking by a river where there are many small animals like mice and rabbits in the brush. George tells Lennie “you ain’t petting no mice while you with me”(Steinbeck 6) because Lennie was hiding a dead mouse in his pocket and petting the mice’s fur. Lennie does not have the capability to know why carrying a dead mouse around is wrong. A child does not know the difference between right and wrong until they corrected on their bad behavior like the way George had

Lennie's character exhibits a rather childlike manner. He seems to do and see things like a child. His pleasures are those of an innocent youngster. For example, in the first chapter, he delights in making the water ripple, and he is content to pet a dead mouse.

She will not allow her brothers to persuade her to live with her sister Lucy. She will not allow herself to be taken into another household in which she will not be heard. In this obstinence she stands in marked contrast with her brothers. While they are described as "subject animal[s]" in the face of their future (239), Mabel's "'bulldog'" face shows her determination (238). She fights stubbornly for her independence. Her determination and power are manifested when the doctor, Jack Ferguson, comes to visit. Notably, Jack is immediately made uncomfortable by the way she looks at him. Even in her silence, she wields a power that intimidates Jack.

Lucy Grealy tells a story about not fitting in, unbearable pain that takes up residence in one’s head as loneliness and confusion, questioning what things mean, being scared and lost in your family, enduring intense physical pain, and most importantly, figuring out who you are. Lucy had no idea she might die, even though the survival rate for Ewing’s sarcoma was only five percent. She does not present her parents as overly afraid for her life, either. Her autobiography is not a story about the fear of death, but about such courage and anguish. Lucy shows how she falls under the spell of her disability, allowing it to control her life and dictate her future to a greater extent than it would otherwise. Having a disability means that

During Lucy’s adventure she goes through several tests of her character. The first test she encounters is trying to convince her siblings that Narnia does exist (Emerson). The first time she tried to show them Narnia, the wardrobe did not lead to anything unlike it had when she entered it before (Lewis 25). Many at this time would think that they had dreamed or imagined Narnia, but not Lucy. She knew what she had seen and felt and would not allow others to bully her into thinking otherwise (Emerson). Her siblings did not believe her and ridiculed her by making fun of her saying it was all just a hoax and that she was just a little girl who had an imagination (Lewis 25). Later on in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lucy’s second test arrives. She is the only one who is willing to take responsibility for everything that had taken place in Narnia such as Edmund, her brother, being captured and also helping the Narnians escape the injustices from the White Witch. She even goes as far as

Later on, one child’s disloyalty to his siblings becomes a huge problem. Aslan decides to risk his own life for the boy. All in all, good overthrows evil, and the children become kings and queens of Narnia in the end (Langford). Aslan proclaims: “Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen. Bear it well, Sons of Adam! Bear it well, Daughters of Eve!” (Lewis 182). The point for Lewis to write these books was as an effort to tell children the Christian stories. He makes examples in chronological order starting with the beginning of time, moves to the death and life of Christ, and finally the end of the world. For most people in this time, when they heard about God or Christianity, they did not want to listen. Instead of giving children ordinary Bible stories, he wrote adventures. He wanted them to learn and believe, as he did, that Christianity would always be there. He filled the books with fictional animals, and
