The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The Chronicles of Narnia are the most influential books, and movies, of my childhood. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was the first fictional world I found myself exploring. The characters were the first ones I really fell in love with, and they were the first ones I found myself crying over. One of my earliest memories is sitting on my mom’s lap before bed, listening to the story of the Pevensie siblings meeting Mr. Tumnus. We never read completely through the book, but she still managed

Miracles, and later Mere Christianity, a hallmark of religious classics. While the younger generation pondered how Narnia could fit into something as small as a wardrobe, mature readers would have mulled over a different question. How does The Chronicles of Narnia fit into his other religious works?

Not everything in the Chronicle of Narnia is the same to the story of Jesus but there are many things that are similar. Sacrificing his life for Edmund, Aslan represented Jesus when he gave up his life to save mankind. By dying for Edmund, Edmund’s sins were erased and he was allowed to live. Jesus Christ gave up his life to remove the sins of mankind and mankind is welcomed. He expunged Adam’s original sin when he defied Gods wishes in the Garden of Eden.

Every child knows, loves and anticipates the idea of Father Christmas, and so when Lewis explains that the White Witch has kept Father Christmas out of Narnia, he instills an idea in the reader's mind that the Witch must be a terrible person. At another point in the book, Aslan warns the children, "if the witch is to be finally defeated before bedtime we must find the battle at once" (191). Here, Lewis

Lewis wrote an essay titled On Three Ways of Writing for Children. A highly acclaimed author of children’s fantasy books-widely known for his series The Chronicles of Narnia- Lewis goes into detail about the three ways children’s stories can be written. This essay will examine these three categories in relation to C.S Lewis’s book entitled Prince Caspian. In his essay On the Three Ways of Writing for Children, Lewis describes three ways he feels writers use when writing children’s literature. The first

Christianity has been my religion and my identity for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a household with parents that pointed me to God every chance they got and siblings that were in and out of the house going on various mission trips. From the very beginning, I have been rooted in the strong faith that was shown to me, even though my age didn’t always enable me to fully comprehend the basics of it. My family did not necessarily pile into the minivan every Sunday in habit of going to church

I hate reading. This mantra ran through my head with the bitter intensity of a six-year-old's anger. I could be watching the crackling fireplace with imagined fairies that darted through the flame and lived in houses made of burning wood. I could be climbing the trees with branches that stretched twig fingers toward the endless sky. I could normally be doing a myriad of different possibilities, but not today. My mother claimed I needed to learn to read before second grade began, and trapped me in

In many cases authors use fiction to make political commentary, use stories to bring out the major flaws that society has, as well as a way to spread different types of beliefs or ideals. C.S. Lewis’s used his work, “The Chronicles of Narnia”, to reiterate the messages of the Bible to those who might have gotten lost during their lifetime. Though his whole series was full of connections the book that have the most prevalent connections are The Magician’s Nephew and The Lion, the

Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, the fourth book in The Chronicles of Narnia, and the New Testament in the Bible, particularly the account of Jesus’ death is not merely coincidental because The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is, in fact, an allegory. An allegory is a story with morals in which characters, plots and settings are used as symbols. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, by C.S.

Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Greek Myths The use of witchcraft has been around for centuries. Witchcraft was paired with the worship of Nature and pagan gods and goddesses. Just like there is a wide variety of people who call themselves witches, there is a wide variety of the types of witchcraft. People have many definitions for the word witch.
