Where she meets a faun named Mr. Tumnus, he invites her to tea in his home where he confesses her that he planned to report her to the pretended queen of Narnia. However, the faun returns Lucy to the human’s world; the faun is punished by the white witch, whose name is Jadis because he didn’t report to her that a human entered Narnia. Edmund one of the youngest siblings seeks into the wardrobe, meeting Jadis the white witch, she befriends and offers him magical Turkish delight, which enchants him. Pulling him to her side, the side of evil. Jadis encourages him to bring the rest of her siblings to Narnia with the promise that shall rule over them, and gave them everything they wanted. Everything that the white witch promised Edmund was a lie, the only thing that she wanted was that Edmund encourage the rest of his siblings to enter Narnia and when all four of them where in Narnia, the white witch would kill them all in order to stop Aslans prophecy, Aslan being the real king of Narnia, he was about to return in order to fulfill the prophecy. The prophecy in Narnia consist of when two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve sit on the thrones of Cair Paravel so that the witch life and reign will end forever and be defeated. The witch cast her spell on Narnia, 100 years of winter and never Christmas, however her power begin to weakening when Aslan returned, no more frozen winter. The witch takes Edmund with her forcing him to do things he doesn’t want while the rest of the siblings escape from the witch. Lucy, Susan, and Peter go through a long and dangerous trip seeking for Aslans help so they could get their brother back. When they arrive at Aslans kingdom, Aslan gave them his help and send his troops to seek for Edmund until they found him. However, the white witch arrives at Aslans kingdom telling him that he has a traitor ( Edmund), that she wants him back just to kill him. Aslan offers his life, to take his place the witch agrees. Aslan is killed by the white witch in the stone table; he gets humiliated by the witch and her evil troops. Susan and Lucy saw when Aslan was being killed. All of Aslans troops are sad because of his kings dead, Peter the oldest of all four siblings took Aslans place in order for him to become king he had to defeat the witch so they all prepare a battle between the good and the evil. While the battle is about to begin Lucy and Susan are still with Aslan they cannot believe that he is dead, when they are about to leave back to Aslans kingdom the stone table breaks making Aslan to disappeared. Lucy and Susan wondered what happened then all of a sudden Aslan revives and is back to life, Susan and Lucy are so happy and they go to the battle all together, Aslans goal is to help Peter in the battle and kill the witch. Peter fights the witch, even though he is losing power, however the witch thinks that she is taking victory. All of a sudden, Aslan arrives and kills the witch; she can’t believe that Aslan is alive, the good triumph over evil. Aslans resurrection Jadis (witch) pulling Edmund to her side The devil of Narnia is finally defeated and the prophecy is accomplished, all four siblings are named as kings all four are crowned and sited on the thrones, Peter being the main king. When the prophecy was fulfill Aslan disappeared leaving his land in complete peace, still everyone will wait for his return. Many years passed Lucy, Susan, Peter, and Edmund grew up becoming adults in Narnia, they live their life as kings, forgetting about their real world. As they are enjoying a trip in their horses Lucy, discovers a lamppost that brings her flashbacks of the day when she first entered Narnia. She is somehow guide by the lamppost and tells her siblings to follow her; they all follow the path that took them back to their real world, to their reality, to that one wardrobe that took them to Narnia. When they were back to their reality they also were back to their childhood, they weren’t’ adults anymore, they were those little naïve kids that did not even know Narnia excisted. First Time Entering Narnia Jadis taking control over Edmund Interpretation The Chronicles of Narnia, a film that mystifies, mesmerizes, enlightens and entertains anyone, and that it unavoidably opens the doors to people’s imagination is an illustrious biblical metaphor. To begin with there is Aslan which symbolizes Jesus Christ, he brings peace to anyone, cures any injuries, he lives in a beautiful kingdom full of peace and joy where everything is possible, where all of his followers are ovidient, the weirdest creatures including all animals talk and don’t do any harm to others, even the trees are on Aslans side, no sign of evil it’s all about peace. All of this symbolizes heaven in the bible it is written that when all of us human beings die we all, the good people have a spot in heaven, where there would be no space for evil, animals won’t do harm to humans, and everything would be possible including the fact that all dead people will revive. On the other side, there is Jadis, the white witch she is the clear embodiment of evil, she is cruel and evil. Her frozen kingdom is full of evilness and of course loneliness, no signs of peace. Jadis symbolizes the power of Satan or evil in the world. In real life evil also exists, many people pretend to be followers of God making others believe that they are in the good side to pull others to their side, pretending to be someone that they are not, they end up being on the evil side. Another example of evil would be those people that do black magic and invoke bad spirits to do harm to others, witchcraft. Battle scene, Aslans troops vs. Witch Peter in the Battle Jadis pretended to be a good person when she meets Edmund; he was easily pulled off to her side because of those promises that she made him, if he brought his siblings to Narnia. At the end Edmund, realize that the white witch was evil. One of the most biblical events that appeared on this movie was when Aslan gave his life to the witch so that Edmund would not be killed, he sacrifice his life for him. Aslan was humiliated by the witch and her followers before being killed in the stone table. Jesus also sacrifice his life for all of us, he died being humiliated even cruelly beaten up by those who did not believe in him, the evil. The stone table symbolizes Jesus cross, where he was crucifies. On the day of the big battle between the good and the evil, the stone table breaks and Aslan returns back to life meaning Jesus resurrection. Aslan ready to help Peter in the battle and would kill the witch. In the battle, the witch seems to be taking control, stabbing Edmund. Peter fights her but he is protected by a helmet, the helmet meaning salvation, the shield is faith, his sword is the spirit within us and Susan’s horn is somehow a call for help meaning prayer. Aslan arrives, the witch can’t believe that he is alive, Aslan kills her leaving no signs of evil, evil won’t never ever exist in Narnia. Most of Aslans followers were turned into stones by the witch, but his breath could cure them meaning the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, restoring his followers to life. The goal of this film was not to transmit a biblical message. However, if you were a believer in Jesus you would definitely see the message that is being conveyed.

  • Dedicated to Mary Clare Havard
    Dedicated to Mary Clare Havard The second in the series, written in late 1949 Published in 1951 Like the others, illustrated by Pauline Baynes The initial setting is England in 1941, fourteen months after they first went to Narnia. In Narnia, it is 1,300 years after The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe , year 2303 in Narnian time. The topic according to Lewis: “restoration of the true religion after a corruption” When the children travel from England to Narnia, they almost never leave from their home. By never depicting the children at home, Lewis is able to evoke a longing for home, for a true home. See “The Weight of Glory,” where Lewis claims that we all have a desire for “our own far off country.” The four children are drawn by Susan’s horn (which had been left behind) into Narnia, as the story begins in medias res (the plot does not advance until chapter 8). They discover a ruined Cair Paravel, although they do not realize it at the time. They rescue the dwarf Trumpkin, who tells of Miraz, the Telmarines, and the Narnians driven underground. Caspian, nephew; an heir is born to Miraz; at the urging of his tutor Doctor Cornelius Caspian rides away on his horse Destrier and begins to gather an army around him. The four children make a long and arduous journey with Trumpkin to Aslan’s How. On the way Lucy sees Aslan, but the others don’t believe her. Sub-plot: Lucy’s faith vs. Trumpkin’s skepticism. “But she [Lucy] forgot them [i.e.

Task 1: CHAPTER 12: PETER’S FIRST BATTLE Watch Peter’s first battle using the link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLtNZgWK32A What happens? Can you describe this in your own words? Task 2: READ THE SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 14: THE TRIUMPTH OVER THE WITCH AND 15: DEEPER MAGIC BEFORE THE DAWN OF TIME No one asks Aslan about the terms of his agreement with the White Witch, but he announces that they must set up camp for the evening in another location: at the Fords of Beruna. While they travel, Aslan tells Peter about the military plan that he has in mind: one battle against the Witch and her followers in the woods, and a second assault on her castle. Aslan then tells Peter that he cannot promise that he will be there to help. Peter is unnerved by Aslan's statement: the lion is clearly preoccupied and sad. That night, Susan and Lucy have trouble sleeping. They have the same horrible feeling that something dreadful is about to happen to Aslan, or that he is about to do something horrible. They begin to wonder whether he is stealing away from the camp at that moment, and go outside to look for him just in time to see the lion leaving the camp. They follow him, and realize that he is making the journey back to the Stone Table.

  • Narnian (An)Aesthetics
    Narnian (An)aesthetics [Unpublished paper delivered at The Museum of Childhood, Bethnal Green, London, 2000 on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the publication The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe] Björn Sundmark In Calormen, story-telling (whether the stories are true or made up) is a thing you’re taught, just as English boys and girls are taught essay-writing. The difference is that people want to hear the stories, whereas I never heard of anyone who wanted to read the essays. (Lewis, The Horse and His Boy, p. 36). In this essay I am going to talk about two things, both of which are implied in the quotation from The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis: storytelling as a craft and what we value in narratives, specifically in fairy tales. I am going to pose the question whether Lewis follows the aesthetic precept above, or whether his Narnian writing deviates from the traditional norms of storytelling in such a way that readers could be put off by it. Has the writing too much of the “English essay” in it and too little of the “grand Calormene manner”? In other words, are the stories aesthetically pleasing or not? The etymology of aesthetics as “things perceptible by the senses” is rather illuminating, I find. Stories are aesthetic when they are heard, when they are read, when they are relished, and when they are in touch with your being. In fact, the idea of sensual perception in connection with the experience of fiction is expressed in a whole range of words and phrases and metaphors.

  • C. S. Lewis' the Chronicles of Narnia- the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe As an Allegory
    ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 11, 2020 C. S. LEWIS’ THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA- THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE AS AN ALLEGORY Ms. K. Priscilla Harshini1, Dr. N. Nagalakshmi2 1Research Scholar, Assistant Professor, VISTAS, Chennai 2Associate Professor, Department of English, VISTAS, Chennai ABSTRACT: The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis is a series of seven books. The Magician‟s Nephew (1955), The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950), The Horse and His Boy (1954), Prince Caspian (1951), The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952), The Silver Chair (1953) and The Last Battle (1956). The stories centre on the magical land Narnia, which is filled with mythological creatures and talking animals. The great lion, Aslan, is a Christ- figure in the series, appearing in each book. He watches over Narnia and intervenes throughout its history. The Magician‟s Nephew explains how Aslan first created Narnia. Digory, a young boy, and his neighbour, Polly, use magic rings to travel between different worlds. They witness Aslan creating Narnia, and are responsible for enabling the evil White Witch to enter its borders. Digory and Polly bury their magic rings with an apple core from a Narnian tree; a new apple tree grows from its seeds, and Digory uses its wood to build the wardrobe that the Pevensies use to enter Narnia. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tells how Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter Pevensie discover Narnia by walking through a magic wardrobe. The children join Aslan‟s army and fight the White Witch. The Witch attempts to defeat Aslan by demanding Edmund‟s life.
