C. S. Lewis

After reading C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce, I understand the different aspects of Heaven and Hell in his vision. The question is how C.S. Lewis describes Heaven and Hell in his book. Before describing what Heaven and Hell looks like, here is a brief description of the book. C.S. Lewis starts his book as the narrator, walking through the mean streets of an empty, grey city called Hell; he waits on a bus stop with other people (1-2). As he goes on a bus trip to Heaven, he encounters different…

Who am I talking about? The white witch. C.S Lewis shows what real cruelty is in his books, The Narnia Series. These few paragraphs will tell of her cruelty, deceitfulness, and how she has many spies, not letting anyone speak privately. In simpler words, we will talk about her evilness and gault. The witch, Jadis, is antagonist and is clearly deleterious. She told the animals to find humans and bring them to her. Since Mr. Tumnus said she is a witch, how do we know what she does to them?…

something special. The best of stories transport the reader into a world other than their own with people and adventures they’ve never experienced. So many writers are capable of this, some of the more prominent being J.K Rowling, J.R.R Tolkien, and C.S Lewis just to name a few. Though these best selling authors have taken me into their worlds of Hogwarts, Middle Earth, and Narnia respectively, one author in particular has always been able to take me out of reality but in a different way while…

Lewis looks at the topic of love and describes it using the four Greek words; Affection-storge, Friendship-philia, Romantic Love-eros and Charity-agape. The main thesis of the book is that love ceases to become love when it becomes a god and love is due to this can becomes a demon. Love is a lovely gift from God but sometimes people are willing to serve love as the whole purpose in life (Lewis,…

Learning in War Time, he explains the necessity of continuing education through a time of war. His writing primarily addressed learning at any time because there will never be a good time to pursue academics, strife in the world will ever be present. Lewis went on to say that no one can live fully devoted to war because it is necessary to perform normal life activities. In addition surrendering oneself to any single cause would be dishonorable to God. C.S. Lewis’s piece dramatically…

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…

There are many things to learn about in C.S Lewis’s Mere Christianity, but the concept of the theories of atonement can confuse some readers who are not from a religious background. This essay will explain the concept of the theories of atonement.

Kings and queens are typically known to wealthy and powerful, and a little supercilious at times. While the King of Glome is…

He focuses on the extrinsic version of pride. Whereas Aristotle finds pride to be virtuous, as he analyzed the intrinsic values of pride. The pride people find in their accomplishments and to propel them towards worth. In both instances, pride is a deep satisfaction of one’s self. The opposite of pride is humility, a…
