Comparing The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe

I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. This book’s genre is fantasy.

Lucy, the main character in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", was trying to prove to her siblings that she was speaking the truth while Tris, the main character in the novel "Divergent", did the opposite. Tris’ goal was to keep her secret from everyone to save her life and the lives of a few of her friends. Buck, an intrepid and mighty sled dog, was also working to persevere without being killed by his absurd owners or other rabid dogs. However, they were all either fighting for their lives or seeking acceptance from their loved ones.

In the purposeful anecdote of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Aslan speaks to Christ. Aslan's passing to spare Edmund's life and his resulting revival are clear references to the life of Christ. Lewis' novel rolls out some key improvements to the figure of Christ that makes Aslan more available to youngsters than the Christ they find out about in chapel. Lewis' technique functioned admirably—he even got a letter from an extremely troubled young man arguing for help in light of the fact that he couldn't offer cherishing Aslan more than Jesus, some assistance with evening however he knew he should love Jesus above everything else. The very move from a man to a lion is entirely huge. Christ is a person, which is both befuddling and convincing,

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.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has many themes; the biggest theme that I have seen in the book is allegory or religion. The book begins with all four kids being sent away. Lucy finds a room that has a big wardrobe in it. Lucy starts walking through the wardrobe and when she gets there Lucy meets a red goat like human with horns and a tail. At first I thought Mr. Tumnus represented the devil but later in the book a woman also known as white witch tempted Edmund with food and turned him into somebody that will turn their family in for royalty or more food. PG. 39 “Probably the Queen knew quite well what he was thinking;for she knew, though Edmund did not, that this was enchanted Turkish Delight and that anyone who had once tasted it would want more and more of it, and would even, if they were allowed, go on eating it till they killed themselves.” Another religious part of the book is that all the characters from

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a fascinating story that centers around the journey of the four Pevensie siblings. Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy go to live with at an old house with a professor because of fires in London. One day, Lucy curiously opens up the wardrobe and finds a secret world called Narnia.

In the introduction of Bruno Bettelheim’s, The Uses of Enchantment, the struggle for meaning is not just something that the young deal with but people in all stages of life. Bettelheim suggest that our experiences in life can contribute to our development in understanding the meaning of life. Bettelheim states that, “The child, as he develops, must learn step by step to understand himself better; with this he becomes more able to understand others, and eventually can relate to them in ways which are mutually satisfying and meaningful.” Bettelheim acknowledges that children's literature should add significance, adee access to a deeper meaning, stimulate emotions, and enrich a child's life. Bettelheim suggest that this kind of meaning can be found in fairy tales.

The Betrayal in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and “The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”

It was much pleasanter at home, ' thought poor Alice, `when one wasn 't always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn 't gone down that rabbit-hole--and yet--and yet--it 's rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what can have happened to me”. Lewis Carroll 's "Alice in Wonderland" which takes the reader into the fantasy world of rabbit holes and mad hatters, magic cakes and secret doors, very articulately conveys that food can be used as a temptation or as a ploy tool to trap the protagonist to indulge in mischievous activities. Caroll’s Alice not only instantaneously grows in size when she eats certain foods but also shrinks when she eats or drinks certain things as well. Food fantasies play a very crucial role in children’s literature be it in Alice in Wonderland or C.S. Lewis’1950 allegorical novel , The Lion,the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Both these fantastical stories focus on interpersonal conflicts and food fantasies of the child protagonist. Lewis’s novel reflects Edmund Penvensie’s weakness for sweet foods, which are quickly discerned by the White Witch. Both Caroll and Lewis allude the significance of food in relation to adulthood and childhood, using food as a dichotomic symbol for empowerment and domination and as a medium for didactic teachings.. In these fantasy stories and in their imaginary worlds children are allowed to enjoy enticing foods that perhaps do not exist in reality, which

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe is a fascinating, adventurous journey about 4 siblings traveling through a magical wardrobe to a land called Narnia. As they explore the land, they learn of its destiny and free it from the evil white witch, with the help of a majestic lion.

Lewis may be suggesting that explorations of metaphysical and spiritual subjects (the ‘Narnias' of our own world) are best suited to open, impartial minds. Second, the obscurity of Narnia's entrance suggests that such journeys cannot be sought out or forced, but rather will present themselves at places and times we least expect. Finally, the use of an ordinary wardrobe as the portal to Narnia makes Lewis's readers consider what fantastic journeys – physical or otherwise – may lay within the ordinariness of everyday existence.

Imagination is an important aspect of childhood. Children are a different kind of creative than adults that can only be attained at their age. This type of imaginative thinking can be emphasized by reading the appropriate books. Children believe in ideas that seem outrageous to adults such as Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and Easter bunny, as well as magic and unicorns, and mermaids and monsters. These aspects make up a great deal of children’s book and are a major reason why children enjoy them. Fantasy style books should be used in the classroom
