  • The Magician's Nephew, CS Lewis Obviously Shows His Concern Abou
    CHAPTER 4 CONCLUSION In analyzing The Chronicles of Narnia; the Magician’s Nephew, C.S. Lewis obviously shows his concern about nature. By studying it closely using ecocriticism approach, I argue that by describing each place in contradictive situation will reveal the reaction of the four human characters and how they interact with nature which reflected the human behaviors in order to find it impacts towards nature. Therefore, I believe the topic about the impacts of human behaviors is one of the main focuses of this work. I argue that the human behaviors are the important roles to see how humans treat the nature. I argue that in order to reveal the impacts of human behaviors this novel has shown the differences between the four human characters, divided the human characters into two, children and adult characters which show that the children characters have Biophilical behavior and the adult characters have Ecophobical behavior. The result of this research is achieved by making Biophilical and Ecophobical behaviors as the important roles in leading humans to treat their nature wisely. With Biophilical behavior, the children characters; Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer show their good and wise ways in treating the nature. Their willingness to protect the nature gives great impacts towards nature. The nature is safe and the sustainability of nature is balance. On the other hand, the analysis on the Ecophobical behavior that reflected by the adult characters; Uncle Andrew and Queen Jadis, show their bad and unwise ways in treating nature. Their greediness to exploit nature and kill the animals gives some bad impacts afterwards.

    ISSN: 2342-2009 Fafnir vol 1, iss 3, pages 7–18 Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research journal.finfar.org “Noble and Beautiful” – Universal Human Aesthetics in C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia Nicholas Wanberg Abstract: C. S. Lewis believed that the best Christian writing should not aim to be original but should rather focus on borrowing and adapting from previous works. Unsurprisingly, Lewis's most popular work, The Chronicles of Narnia, shows the influence of a wide variety of sources. Beyond the better known mythological and Christian influences, the series also draws from Rider Haggard's works and the Lost World genre more generally. Many of these influences have led to accusations of racism against the works. To better understand such claims, this paper seeks to analyze one of the key elements fueling to such accusations, namely beliefs about human and humanoid aesthetics, which have historically taken on racist implications. In The Chronicles of Narnia, the narrator and characters alike treat questions of personal aesthetics as being objective assessments, and skin tone is shown playing a significant part in these judgments, with a certain variety of "fair" skin being ideal and deviations from this norm, whether becoming too red, too pale, too blue or too dark, being treated as unattractive. Aspects of the inner nature of characters is also frequently treated as being externally visible, and there is a strong, albeit imperfect, correlation between physical attractiveness and individual moral standing. Understanding these themes can lead to a better understanding of Lewis's works and serve as a warning for contemporary writers on the dangers of adopting themes uncritically.

In this series of exciting stories, children who get into the fantasy world of Narnia must time and again test their bravery and capacity for belief in order to come to the aid of others – and learn more about themselves. The Narnia Chronicles are filled with fascinating and fanciful characters-talking animals, dancing trees, evil witches, and creatures wholly of the author’s imagination. Readers who enter this enchanted world meet these creatures in richly imagined settings and distinctly different lands, brought there by magic along with the children who stumble across the mysterious portals connecting our world with theirs. The Chronicles of Narnia are among the world’s best-known fantasies. Stories of the imagination in which the action often depends on magic or the supernatural. They are part of the classic fantasy genre that includes Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. The seven books of The Chronicles of Narnia were published between 1950 and 1956. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe came first – it was because of the popularity of this book that the other books were written. But the author later expressed a wish that the book be sequenced by Narnian chronology, rather than the order in which they were first published. Thus the series now begins with The Magician’s Nephew, in which the world of Narnia is created, and ends with The Last Battle, in which it is destroyed – so that a new world can begin.
