Lewis, after Edmund Pevensie wanders into Narnia and meets the White Witch. Once she finds out that he’s one of the “Sons of Adam” mentioned in the prophecy that foretold the end of her reign, the White Witch puts on a false demeanor. She offers Edmund a hot beverage and a box of enchanted Turkish delight that makes the consumer crave it and consume it to his or her death. Edmund is the only one putting effort into this “communion,” as he is the only one eating while the White Witch is simply sitting on the sled and interrogating him. The White Witch doesn’t bond with Edmund, and Edmund fools himself into thinking that he’s become friendly with the Queen of Narnia. As such, the “communion” ultimately fails in regard to friendly bonding. However, there is an exchange of ideas: The White Witch feeds him lies about making him prince and giving him more Turkish delight, and in return, Edmund unknowingly gives her information on a traitor and promises to bring his siblings to

Lewis Narnia? While Edmund was eating the Queen kept on asking him questions. At first Edmund tried to remember that it is rude to speak with one’s mouth full, but soon he forgot about this and thought only of trying to shovel down as much as Turkish Delight he could, and the more he eat the more he wanted to eat, and never asked himself why the Queen should be so inquisitive. She got him to tell her that he had one brother and two sisters, and one of his sisters had already been in Narnia and had met a faun, and that no one except himself and his brother and his sisters knew anything about Narnia. She seemed especially interested in the fast that there were the four of them, and kept on going back to it.
In the movie, when Edmund first entered into the house of the white witch, she asked him two questions. “Tell me, Edmund… are your sisters deaf?” and “And your brother. Is he…unintelligent?” After she got “No” for both the questions, she was quite furious and yelled “Then how DARE you come alone! … Edmund, I ask so little of you.” From this conversation, it is clear to see the cruelty of the White Witch and she is so looking forward to catch some Narnians. This is one of the similarities that the film shares with the novel.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis is the first—although sequentially the second—of seven books Lewis wrote about the imaginary world of Narnia. It is set during World War II, at the time when London was being bombed by Nazi Germany, and was inspired by Lewis's life with refugee children who came from London to stay at his country home during the bombings. One of the children, fascinated by the black oak wardrobe standing in the Lewis's hall, wanted to know if there was a way out of the back of the wardrobe, and if so, what was on the other side. Lewis's response was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the story of a world under siege by the powers of darkness, only it is not Hitler who leads the attack but the White Witch.

Religion influences every aspect of a true devotee’s life. After the year 1931, C.S. Lewis was a devoted Christian and member of the Church of England. This means his faith when he wrote The Chronicles of Narnia was influential in what went into the writing of these stories. This influence was noticeable throughout all of the books in this series however it does not make the story automatically anything more then a great story. There are several basics of the Christian faith that C.S. Lewis believed and that are demonstrated in his writing. A few of the beliefs visible in these books are as follows: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the creation of the world and evil entering the world after creation had occurred not at the same
She immediately senses Edmund’s jealousy and utilizes it to entrap the other three children. She offers Edmund anything he wants, he asks for Turkish delights, which she in turn delivers. She then tells him that he could be king and his siblings will be his servants, which is extremely appealing to Edmund. Edmund agrees to deliver his siblings and thus betrays them for worldly desires. “Edmund’s greed gets the better of his judgment; Proverbs 23: 1-3 cautions, when you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony. Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive” (Ditchfield 51).
