There was a light in front of her not a few inches away where the back of the wardrobe should have been, but far away. Something cold and soft was falling on her. A moment later he found himself in the middle of a forest at night with snow under his feet and snowflakes falling in the air. Thus begins an adventure that catapults four children into a magical land unlike any our world has ever seen. It is an adventure that will hurl them into the palm of evil itself and ultimately deliver them into the heart of good. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are involved in a battle between the White Witch and Aslan. They are forced to choose a side. While Lucy quickly leads Peter and Susan in following Aslan, Edmund quietly leaves to join the White Witch. Lucia represents the believer who chooses to follow Jesus while Edmund is an example of the unbeliever who sides with Satan. Through this essay I want to show you the similarities and differences between Lucy and Edmund, as well as those of Aslan and the White Witch, so that you can see the spiritual allegory depicted through these characters. Edmund's differences from his sister become crystal clear as their story unfolds. The boy seeks his own interest, crushing others in an effort to satisfy his desires. On pages 38 and 39, sitting in the White Witch's sleigh, he betrays his entire family for a few pounds of Turkish Delight. Edmund can also be very cruel. He mocks Lucy when she describes Narnia on page 28. Edmund runs away from Aslan's goodness, choosing the White Witch instead. He is attracted by the prospect of wealth and power that he hopes the White Witch will provide him. Instead of hope and freedom Edmund resorts to cruelty and fear....... middle of paper ...... long influence in the lives of the four children (145, 35-39). Finally, when one of the two enters the scene, a change occurs (128-133, 154-157). But for me the most powerful moment in the story, second only to Aslan's resurrection, is when the White Witch arrives. deal for Edmund's life. You can imagine the fear that gripped him, yet, despite the words that the White Witch throws at him, he says nothing. C.S. Lewis writes: “But Edmund had overcome the thought about himself… He simply continued to look at Aslan. It didn't seem to matter what the witch said. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe reveals the power of forgiveness that Christ shows us. It reminds us that no matter how long we have been holding on to the other side, Jesus will always accept us. We can be forgiven if we continue to look to Jesus.
