Comparing The Allegory Of The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe

In this story, it's the adventures of three young children that find a wardrobe to a new land. This land, however, is under the evil spell of a witch and she leaves the land in internal winter. Accompanied by friends they make and the lion (the king of the forest), they will vanquish the witch forever.

There are many allegories in this story and many representations of Christianity. I have enjoyed reading the books and I have been enlightened reading the critic books.

Lewis's novel makes changes to the figure of Aslan that makes him more accessible to children than the Christ they learn about in church. The very shift from a man to a lion is quite significant. Christ is a human being, which is confusing, particularly for a child. The beauty of the figure of a lion is that a child would have no problems showing emotions for a lion. A lion, as king of the forest, is fearful and intimidating. The lion is also a big cat, and Lewis emphasizes this side of Aslan by showing him playing happily with the children. Lewis borrows the figure of Jesus for children while still maintaining all the essential characteristics of Christ. However I see Aslan as the sun, the bringer of spring. He dies, in winter, and comes back, almost like a resurrection, in the summer. I am not contradicting what the critics say but merily adding
