The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

In Narnia, as in the Bible, grace is linked to faith. One cannot acquire forgiveness on their own. His own sin is too great and the divine sovereign is too honest for self-justification. One cannot change themselves either. Sinfulness is to grand to overcome on ones’ own. There are some things only Aslan can do, and the only proper human response to these things is faith. As the Beavers in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tell Peter, it is no good trying to save Mr. Tumnus from the White Witch themselves: "It 's no good, Son of Adam . . . no good your trying... But now that Aslan is on the move... He 'll settle the White Queen all right. It is he, not you, that will save Mr. Tumnus" (73-74). A fantastic example of grace is illustrated in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Eustace, the Pevensie children’s…

The Chronicles of Narnia book series, for years, has been under the watchful eye of Christians and Non-Christians alike in search of Biblical parallels. There are the more obvious parallels: Aslan’s death on the Stone Table in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe/Jesus’ death on the cross, the Rapture/the end of Old Narnia in The Last Battle, and the two creation stories found in Genesis/The Magician’s Nephew. However, there are far more subtle Biblical parallels that Lewis himself might not…

Settings England and Telmar Despite there being many gateways between Earth and Narnia (Prince Caspian, 217), most of the visitors throughout the Chronicles come from one place-England. The obvious exception is the Telmarines, who were pirates on Earth but entered Narnia through one of the last “chinks and chasms between worlds” (Prince Caspian, 217). The English and Telmarines mirror the Jews and Gentiles of the Bible; while there may be remnants of either people in the “nethermost parts of the…

upon us for nearly a hundred years. Almost our whole education has been directed to silencing this shy, persistent, inner voice; almost all our modern philosophies have been devised to convince us that the good of man is to be found on this earth. (7) One of the reasons that The Chronicles of Narnia have such moving ideals is because their positively inspiring. Desires in The Chronicles of Narnia are a positive thing, but when an individual asks people to explain what they thought is the highest…

Introduction Christian themes and metaphors are common in literature because of their universal renown, but depending on how these are used and referenced in the work, they convey different meanings and have different effects on the reader. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis and The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway are two works of literature that use Christian allegories. In Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, four children venture into the magic world of…

The Story of Narwhals Once upon a time there was a unicorn named Calvin. Why he was named Calvin, don’t ask me. Maybe his parents liked that name. Maybe they didn’t. But that is irrelevant. The point is, Calvin liked long walks along the ocean. Why he liked long walks along the ocean, don’t ask me. Maybe they were nice, relaxing ways to clear his head. Maybe they weren’t. But that is irrelevant. One morning, he was walking alongside the shore he saw a manatee. That’s it. That night he was on…

The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the most celebrated English literary series of the 20th century. The author, C. S. Lewis, wrote this series with a correlation of core concepts, major themes, and key symbols among the books. Three key themes that Lewis focuses on are the idea that God, directly and indirectly, influences our lives, the representation of Satan through the witches, and how persons deal with their sin and how they must discover and repent of their sin to be successful in life…

Witch and the Wardrobe, written by C.S. Lewis, is filled with symbolism and mythological influences, both Christian and non-Christian. These influences manifest themselves in the forms of allusions and parallels. C.S. Lewis uses these allusions and parallels between the real world and Narnia in order to present his work The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as an allegory. It is important to note the factors that influenced the writings of C.S. Lewis. Lewis described himself as an atheist when…

As The Witch in The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe once stated, “Every traitor belongs to me as my lawful prey and that for every treachery I have a right to a kill,” (Quotev). She said this in reference to Edmund Pevensie, one of the four Pevensie children, as she decided on his fate. Edmund’s only hope was the strength of his family and friends, and even that of a lion named Aslan. There was a profound strain on each Prime Minister during World War Two. Britain had…
