different ways the good versus the bad is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written by C.S Lewis. The author of this novel uses literary elements to demonstrate the idea of good and evil, an example of which would be characterisation. Aslan and the White Witch embody the characteristics of the good and the evil, two of which are their physical and psychological descriptions and their actions in the novel. First of all, Aslan and the White Witch are the representation of the good and evil throughout
The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe C.S. Lewis created a story of a fictional world called Narnia that was inside of a wardrobe. There were four siblings who found this world, once inside they saw numerous creatures like witches and centaurs that were symbols for something bigger. C. S. Lewis uses Christian symbolism in The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe through the characters of Aslan, Edmund, and the White Witch. “Not only was resurrected from death, but gives life back to the witch’s statues;
CS Lewis was a Christian author who used his imagination to both entertain and inspire. The film 'The Chronicles of Narnia', produced by Mark Johnson and Philip Stuer, is a cinematic adaptation of the book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The book is the first in a series of seven books Lewis wrote titled The Chronicles of Narnia. The movie has a very strong alignment with the Bible, some of the ways this is conveyed are: through the use of plot, set design, symbolism, characters and the way
The importance of a character may not be seen significant at first, but could become very critical when trying to analyze parts of a story. The book, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis, introduces an important character at the beginning of the novel.

Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe have characters which protray the hero’s journey.

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe is a children’s fantasy novel by Clive Staples (C.S.) Lewis, the second of seven installments in his The Chronicles of Narnia series.

Lewis was trying to tell the story of Jesus Christ through this story. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe can be seen as a religious allegory

Both Eustace and Edmund have major shortcomings that negatively affect others. Yet Lewis does not leave his characters there, fallen and shamed. He redeems them. Edmund becomes a King of Narnia and breaks the White Witch’s wand; Eustace is transformed by Aslan back into a boy and returns to Narnia for many more adventures. Lewis’s writing “affirms that it is possible for the weak and foolish to have a noble calling in a dark world” (McGrath). However, neither of these characters changed until after

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 of the Witch are described as predatory creatures like wolves, malicious dwarves, “Ogres with monstrous teeth, and wolves

“What is of more value than gold?” inquired the White Witch. Maugrim, captain of the police, was the first to respond. “An abundance of gold?” he questioned. The White Witch turned and glared at him until the poor soul shrunk back to his task of cleaning the floors. She responded with a booming “No you fool; I cannot number the price of gold I would give for the four siblings’ heads,” she paused. “Preferably without their bodies attached.” Then she gave Maugrim the order to find them at all cost
In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis employs symbolism, development and morality. He uses symbolism as a driving force throughout the novel. Without the use of characters similar to Christian figures, Lewis’ series would lack a sense of meaning. His use of these figures evokes a sense of wonder in the reader and encourages them to continue reading.
