Edmund's plunge into the Witch's administration starts amid his mad utilization of the enchantment Turkish Delight. Since this is the charmed Turkish Delight, Edmund can't be considered responsible for his intemperance as though he were overindulging in standard treat. The genuine sin happens when Edmund permits himself to focus on the Turkish Delight long after he leaves the Witch. Edmund's use of the Turkish Delight might likewise be a reference to the transgression of Adam and Eve, when they ate from the Tree of Knowledge.…

Mark Twain once said of his great American novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, that the book was “...a book of mine where a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into collision and conscience suffers defeat.” The protagonist, Huck Finn, struggles with his feelings about slavery and the overall moral norms of society compared to his own beliefs. Throughout the novel Huck rejects the advice of his “conscience” as he has been taught and follows his own path to what he believes is right. Huck’s search for freedom from what society expects of him compares closely…

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe cannot be completely reconciled to a strictly post-colonial reading, but rather looking at the work with such a lens opens…
