There is always one aspect of life that is essential in a person. It is established in childhood; imagination. Children have the privilege of being young enough for a certain amount of time to not let any responsibilities hinder them from learning and experiencing the world in new ways. In literature, the best way to showcase a child’s imagination is through a world entirely different from their own. Two of the most prominent fantasy worlds in children’s literature are; Narnia and Neverland. These
In C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lewis emphasizes the three points of philosophy, themes, and symbolism throughout his writing. Lewis was a strong Christian man, and wanted to make children see and understand all the stories of the Bible. Therefore, he put Christian elements through his books, but with fantasy characters as well. Especially in this story, Lewis conveys the differences between good and evil. Aslan is represented as Christ just as the White Witch represents the

Chapter 1: Introduced us to the characters Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. The kids are exploring the house. Lucy stumbles upon the wardrobe, she opens the door to reveal fur coats. She says she loves the feel of fur, so she steps into the wardrobe. She starts walking in it, she feels the soft powdery snow under her feet. She encounters a faun. Chapter 2: The faun invites Lucy to his cave for tea. He starts to play the flute, she says she must be getting home, the faun starts to weep and tells
Another important aspect of Post Colonial theory is to bring marginalized characters into focus and detract from the blatant “othering” found in their Eurocentric culture. Many Narnians are forced to undergo service for the White Witch in order to survive the long winters, and some even relish in the privileges they receive from the Queen. Thus, imperialism is as much a militarily enforced occupation as much as it is a controlled social and cultural occupation (Said, 1113). Those under the control

One of his major writings is The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Narnia is everything we've come to expect from a fantasy novel, mostly because this book helped to set the standard for what we think of as a typical fantasy world. Such as a medieval place in which people live close to the land. When wars brake out often the tools used in the fight include using bows, arrows, and swords, and are ruled by kings and queens who live in palaces. Mythical creatures populate
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a book that I read in last summer. I like this book because I like this type of books. I can call this book as an adventurous book. In this book, every scene makes me very excited. The words and the sentences in the book can make me really feel like I am one of the characters and experience what they are experiencing. I am sure that everyone in their childhood had thought of a dream world or a place where is full of magic will come true in their life. In this

C.S. Lewis uses a secondary world, Narnia, to convey complex, thought-provoking messages to readers of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. This paper examines the way a selection of Narnia's key characteristics prompt debates over logic and faith, comment on the nature of spiritual and metaphysical journeys, allow readers to broaden their conception of their own capabilities, encourage new reflection on the story of Christ and help to clarify conceptions of good and evil. Narnia's first characteristic
