The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

In The Dream Thieves, the main characters are Blue, Ronan, Adam, and Gansey (who’s death is predicted but he doesn’t know). They are all on a quest to find a Welsh king, Glendower, who will grant them a wish when he woken up. This is the second book in the Raven Cycle series. I enjoyed reading and learning more about the characters especially Ronan Lynch. This is because I think he is the most interesting and complicated character in the book. Ronan doesn’t like to tell lies and will always…

stunned. Help? Edmund’s prattle had skipped with such confidence that James half believed he already knew the answer, but it turns out Edmund wholly knew nothing--the newt hadn’t just presented himself, he had sacrificed himself, and even bargained to do so. James yanked Pip and Sheena into a huddle. They needed an answer. “Think!” he said, unable to do so himself. Sheena processed out loud, “More than life. Perhaps love? No, a contended man would not desire that…” Pip bit his thumb and stared…

chapter eight, “wrong will be right when Aslan comes in sight…” (Lewis 74). As Christ is the center of Christianity, Aslan is implied as the center of Narnia. In chapter fourteen, Aslan offers to sacrifice himself on the stone table in the place of Edmund, even though Aslan had done nothing wrong to deserve this punishment.…

connections between the Bible and the story of Narnia. However, viewing this world and novel with a post-colonialist perspective, it reveals the complexity of many more discourses about the purpose of characters and locations.

Next, I will explain and use Hannah Arendt’s theory on the “banality of evil” to interpret some of…

Lewis took issue with raw romanticism believing that it would self-destruct and be unsuccessful in keeping its word. It does not work well. Lewis states his case in point by identifying the romantics whose focal point of their works was nature: This love, when it sets up as a religion, is beginning to be a…

For instance, Lewis, used his childhood, and his acceptance of Christianity to help him write the series Narnia. Lewis has used inspiration from his life other than his childhood, such as being in the military, to write many of his books, which has earned him a Hawthornden Prize in 1936 for his book, The Allegory of Love. The Hawthornden Prize is a British…
