Christian Reflections: A Critical Analysis
purposefully put some of the parrallels in to intreage an evergrowing audience, but this is highly unlikely because Lewis said he did not.
Another book Lewis has written on writing books had him say that writing books are the same whether the writer was Christian or Pagen ("Christian Reflections" 1). If the process is the same, both genres would be the same. They both have a topc and storyline that is easy to follow, no matter that the topics are different.
If all genres are the same in the bones of literature, then nonreligious books also have a religious code embedded in them.

Lewis has the natives address the children either as "Son of Adam" or as "Daughter of Eve" (LWW 81). This phrase comes from the book of Genesis with the creation of the original humans, Adam and Eve.
When used as the Satan character, the White Witch also has a place in this Judeo-Christian world people claim Lewis created in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. While trying to catch up to the children, the White Witch wants to keep them from reaching Aslan (Lewis "LWW" 187). This can be equated to Satan trying to separarte Man from God. While a little far fetched, this could possibly be seen
