How Is Aslan Portrayed In The Crucible

Aslan is the creator of Narnia, also he is the highest leader of this kingdom. Aslan is representing Jesus in the Bible, also he is a savior. He represents Jesus' kindness. In the book, Aslan was willing to die for the redemption of Edmund, who had been betrayed, similarly Jesus willing to die for saving people. When Aslan was walking toward death, Susan and Lucy accompanied him, just as Jesus before he been crucified, and several women followed him far away. “‘Stop!’ said the Witch. ‘Let him first be shaved.’ … Snip-Snip-snip went the shears and masses of curling gold began to fall to the ground.” (C.S. Lewis, 1970, pg. 168). In Matthew 26:65-68, “Then the high priest tore his clothes and said.
‘He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?’
… Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him and said, ‘Prophesy to us, Christ. Who hit you?’” (NIV).
These quotes show
“There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.” (C.S. Lewis, 1970, pg. 178). Lewis made Aslan rise to symbolize the spirit of Christ, which was the carrier of this spirit. In Luke 24:15, “As they talked and discussed these things with each other. Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;” (NIV). Both Jesus and Aslan underwent the same process of "Crucifixion - Death - Resurrection". This makes people think differently of death; Death is not the end of everything, it is a new beginning. Also after Aslan revived, he got a new power, he could use his breath to lift those who were cursed by the white witch and become stone statues. It is a symbol of God's ability to give life and create everything in the same way that god does in Genesis. So, Aslan's spirit means the holy spirit in
