Narni The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe

Suddenly she found herself surrounded by a huge forest. There was snow all around so it was very cold, so Lucy put on one of the conveniently placed fur coats and went to explore the wood. She did not walk far when she saw a light walking closer she discovered it was a lamppost. It was here buy this lamppost Lucy met the talking fawn named Mr. Tomnas. The fawn invited Lucy to tea and almost turned her over to a woman called the white witch, but Mr. Tomnas ended up really liking Lucy so he couldn’t do it. Instead he led her back to the wardrobe door. When Lucy got back to her brothers and sister, she found out that no time had gone by at all since she walked into the wardrobe. Susan, Peter and Edmund didn’t believe Lucy when she told them there was another world called Narnia inside the wardrobe. Edmund was always following her around asking if she found any new countries in the cupboards lately, but Eventually Edmund found his way into the wardrobe land too, and met the white witch. She was kind to him, but was really a witch, and he allied himself with her. And without knowing he agreed to turn his brother and sisters over to her later he realizes the gravity of his mistake and how much of his brothers anger he is risking. Then Susan, Peter, Lucy and Edmund all find their way into Narnia and find out that the lion called Aslan expects them to be queens and kings over all in

Their parents sent them away to live in safety with a man called the Professor, in the heart of the country. C.S. Lewis describes the setting on the first page of the book by writing, “This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air raids” (Lewis 1). This gives the readers an accurate cultural perspective that allows them to better understand the historical events of the time in which the story takes place. It also gives a better understanding into the unique personalities of each character and how they came to be. The Pevensie children in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, longed for a time to relax and act like normal children. They yearned for a moment of peace where they could let their imaginations run wild and explore their childish wonderings. Being of various ages, the children embraced their curiosity in different ways, one thing sure however, they had been through a great deal of trauma in their young lives and that impacted the way they thought and

“Creatures, I give you yourselves,” said the strong, happy voice of Aslan. “I give to you forever this land of Narnia. I give you the woods, the fruits, the rivers. I give you the stars and I give you myself. The Dumb Beasts whom I have not chosen are yours also. Treat them gently and cherish them but do not go back to their ways lest you cease to be Talking Beasts. For out of them you were taken and into them you can return. Do not so.”- Aslan

Despite the fact that Mr. Tumnus nearly kidnapped her, as shown on pages 20 through 22, she trusts him and somehow knows that he is on the good side. Her scarily good judgment has no basis other than the first impressions she receives from others; however, her intuition has saved her and her siblings many times. An example of this would be on pages 65 through 67. Lucy trusts and believes Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and other friendly creatures as soon as she sees them; she instinctively knows that they are on the good side. Her judgment is proven to be correct when Mr. and Mrs. Beaver lead her and her family towards Aslan. She also notices that Aslan, despite all of his power and fierce looks, as filled with gentleness as shown on pages 162 to 164; after Aslan is revived, he and the Pevensie sisters end up playing and romping together joyfully.

The books have Christian themes and describe the adventures of a group of children who visit a magical land called Narnia. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was the first published and the most popular book of the series. Lewis is said to have stated that he wrote the novels when he wondered what it would be like if Jesus Christ was incarnated on another planet or world to save the souls of those inhabitants”.

Our army was celebrating after this moment. It was finally over the war, the rule of the White Witch. We had a big celebration in Cair paravel now this moment was going to last forever because I mean I am a king and I fought in a battle with an almighty Aslan. There was something missing though but I just couldn’t tell what it was. I felt like a ruler like a boss and I was kind of nervous though too I mean what if we were under attack? But then I had an idea what if there was no more evil so I sent every single troop in Narnia that is on the good side to go kill all the evil but me and my younger siblings went out to find the witch. It seemed forever but we couldn’t find the witch but we stopped at on spot wear there was a lamppost and I couldn’t help but feel that I remembered it was the same lamppost that we came into Narnia and saw I was filled with joy and I was also sad because in this world I was a king and in the other world I wasn’t but that place was my home and I had to go back so we went and it has barey been a second probably. It felt good to go back home and see the professor and us back to

Edmund first gives into the temptation of the Turkish Delight, but then realizes that he should be with his siblings. This makes Edmund an evil figure, however, he has a good heart, unlike the White Witch. “…However, for deep down inside him he really knew that the White Witch was bad and cruel” (Lewis 89). Having a good heart ultimately saves Edmund from his temptations. This fact sets the White Witch apart from Edmund. She is evil through and through, which makes her the villain character as well as the terrible mother. Although she technically is not a mother, she first acts like a motherly figure for Edmund. The White Witch’s characteristics are similar to that of the Snow Queen in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, The Snow Queen. The siblings encounter Mr. Beaver and Mrs. Beaver on their journey through Narnia. Mr. Beaver serves as a mentor and wise old man archetype. “Safe? Said Mr. Beaver; “don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you” (Lewis 80). The children trust what Mr. Beaver tells them and he helps them determine good from evil. He takes them in and introduces them to this new

In this story, four siblings named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie are sent away from London to live in the country with Professor Kirke due to the Second World War and the air raids. On a rainy day, Lucy discovers a place called Narnia after stepping inside an enormous wardrobe. When she returns home, she eagerly tells her siblings about this secondary world, but they do not believe her. It is not until Peter and Susan are persuaded by the Professor that they decide to trust their sister and follow her inside the wardrobe. Once the four of them enter Narnia, the adventure begins. In this magical world, they go on a journey, where they face many obstacles

There are also two girls and two boys, likewise, Noah took two of each animal on the ark. When Lucy first goes to Narnia she meets Mr. Tumnus who takes her back to his house for tea. He then begins to play an instrument and while he plays Lucy starts to see creatures dancing in the fire. When she falls asleep a lion’s face jumps out of the fire and fire goes out. This reminds me of when Jesus rebukes demons and sends them out of people. The White Witch likes to call herself the Queen of Narnia and think she is more powerful than Aslan but she is not. Likewise, Satan likes to believe that he is more powerful than Jesus, but he too is not. After Peter, Susan, Lucy, and the Beavers realize that Edmund is gone and that he most likely is going to the White Witch they frantically pack up and leave the Beaver’s dam. This is similar to when the Israelites flee Egypt in the exodus. Like the Israelites had to cross the Red Sea, the Pevensies and the Beavers cross the Great River while it is un-thawing. The Witch’s wolves are chasing them and drown like the Egyptian soldiers. Mr. Beaver tells Peter, Susan, and Lucy that only Aslan can save Edmund much like only Jesus can save us. When Aslan goes to the Witch’s castle after he comes back to life, he breathes on the statues to make them come back to life. This can be taken two different ways. The first is how Jesus brought people back to life. The second is a metaphor. Our hearts are cold and hard before we know Jesus, like how Narnia is frozen and some of the creatures are stone, but then Jesus comes into our lives and makes us warm and alive. Like how when Aslan came to Narnia it became spring. Lastly, the war between Aslan and the White Witch is like the spiritual warfare going on between God and Satan. She wants the Pevensies and Narnians killed but Aslan is fighting for

Aslan returned and with him he brought summer and the return of Father Christmas. The bible describes the rising of Jesus in a very celebratory and ceremonial way and just as Jesus rose to the heavens promising his return Aslan left for a journey promising he will come when needed. Although Doctor Lewis did not intend for this book to be an allegory to the bible story his tale of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has an uncanny likeness to the Christian tale and regardless of its similarities is beloved for its mystical, inspirational story of forgiveness and mercy. For even for those that don’t follow a Christian faith can marvel in the inspiration that bible stories and their likenesses can give. It’s not always important the validity of the origin but moreover the good that it can motivate. There is good tales in all religious books and there is good that they inspire when they are not muddied with human impression in the process. Forgiveness is important for the soul and mercy is vital to our human connection for one virtue hinges on the

Since the four children can be seen as symbolisms of human beings, their relationship with Aslan shows a lot about the grace, mercy and overall character of God. One of the main examples where this is seen is the grace that Aslan showed to Edmund who was a traitor. Despite Edmunds’ choice to prioritize Turkish delight over his family and his right as one of the king of Narnia, Aslan still accepted Edmund into his army and not only that Edmund still inherited the kingdom of Narnia not by his own works but by Aslan’s

Written and published in 1950, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a well-known book. Author C.S Lewis received positive feedback for the high fantasy novel. As a Christian, it’s not hard to tell this story has many connections to Christianity. Growing up I had always believed that this was just some amazingly detailed movie with every mythical creature imaginable. Although reading the book now, I’ve read between the lines and have viewed everything in a different perspective.

Humanity is a beautiful force of nature, but just as an ocean in beautiful, it is also treacherous. Human nature is sinful in nature,“No one has to teach a child to lie or be selfish; rather, we go to great lengths to teach children to tell the truth and put others first. Sinful behavior comes naturally.” (“What is the sin nature?”, 2017). C.S. Lewis wrote a series of books called The Chronicles of Narnia and in one of these named “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. C.S. Lewis weaves a wonderful tale about four children collectively called the Pevensie children who find a world unlike any other inside of a wardrobe. They meet the all powerful Lion, Aslan, that brings awe to their person. They hear about the White Witch with all of her horrors, and Edmund (one of the children) even experiences her himself. The children even fight a battle against the forces of evil in their minds and physically on the battlefield leading to the thrones of Narnia. Through this grand story, C.S. Lewis wrote in a character very important to the ideas of human nature. Edmund was one of the Pevensie children and is used in C.S. Lewis’s novel as a representation of humanity. C.S. Lewis presents Edmund as humanity through his foolish blindness to that which is sin, his pride and jealousy, and his fear of judgement.

In Narnia it’s as if you never grow old, time just passes by. Time is as if it does not exist, one just lives on. We get hooked in the story because it pleases our child-like imagination, and it brings us something to look forward to as the story goes on. Then we meet Aslan who is brought to us like a king or savior and draws us in more.
