Aslan

Lewis paper Fantasy writing at the center of everything is a story that cannot possibly happen our world. It creates whole new worlds and realms of mysteries that could only possibly take place in novels and come from ones imagination. This is very noticeable in C.S. Lewis’ books and especially in the Chronicles of Narnia. From Aslen breathing on the statues bringing life back into them to Aslen being resurrected back to life, these great writings show how great fantasy writing can be and the…

the character, Aslan. Lewis designed Aslan, an allegorical representation of Jesus, as one who rules over Narnia, instills fear and respect within all the people. When Mr. Beaver speaks of the great lion, “[the] children felt something jump in [their] inside” (74). When Edmund betrays the people of Narnia, Aslan sacrifices his life to spare him mimicking how Jesus sacrificed himself for the people’s sin. Aslan, mirroring Jesus, is also resurrected. Lewis’ characterization of Aslan is the most…

Jesus Christ: a celestial, heavenly figure shrouded in our contemporary culture as a peaceful prophet whose sole purpose was divine salvation. This representation of Jesus that has permeated throughout history is entirely wrong in Aslan’s perspective. Aslan portrays Jesus as a politically conscious revolutionary who in fact supported violence to a certain extent.

to Aslam, the savior. Another way Peter matured that adds to his heroism is when he confessed to Aslan about his situation with Edmund. Peter admits to Aslan that it might have been his fault that Edmund decided to go to the evil side (Lewis 132). Peter tells Aslan ‘I was angry with him and I think that helped him to go wrong’ (Lewis 132). Towards the beginning of the novel Peter may have not told Aslan about what he did to Edmund, this exemplifies his maturity. The way that Peter had matured as…

the Christian bible when looked at close enough. The symbolism in Narnia has been researched before. The Christian group CBN wrote, “The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe, which tells the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ through Aslan the lion, and its effect on Edmund’s regeneration redemption and salvation as well as the healing of Narnia from the curse of the white witch” (CBN…

How does the story of the Lion, the Witch, and the wardrobe reflect Christian beliefs and what does it teach us about the Christian faith? By Adam Shooshtarian The story of Narnia is one of the most popular fantasy novels in the world having sold over 100 million copies in 47 different languages. When you read or watch Narnia for the first time you may not understand the true meaning of the events taking place, for there is more depth and hidden meaning to what seems like an innocent children’s…

know many things when it came to Narnia and the new world. They were sacrificing everything. Meeting Aslan was also a huge sacrifice. They were meeting a lion of all things, for the first time and only going off what the beavers said to them. Should they have trusted the beaver in the first place, I don’t know. They could have been set up to be eaten by Aslan, no one really knew. Meeting Aslan could have been a disaster. And believing what he was saying was also a big…

This theme occurs in both the earthly world with the nice children versus the "evil", bullying ones, and in the other world, in Narnia, with the constant battle between Aslan and the descendents of the White Witch whom he battled from the time he created Narnia. The Evil Queen is a descendent of the original Witch and is constantly trying to overpower good with her evil, for example, using Prince Rilian, who will be recognized…
