C.S. Lewis Rewrites the Key Events in the Life of Jesus

 

             Lewis" The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a clever way to make the story of Christ appeal to young children. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe also retells elements of other biblical stories. In this children's masterpiece by Lewis, the character of Asland is Christ. The children for the most part represent the Apostles but their purposes change in different parts of the book. C.S. Lewis" rewrite of Christ is probably the most appealing way to tell the main story.
             The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is about four children, and their first visit to a magical land named Narnia. Lucy is the first of the children to make to Narnia, but her siblings don't believe her. The others also find their way to Narnia with Lucy. When the children end up in Narnia they find out that the White Queen unjustly rules the land. The White Queen makes Narnia permanently winter but never Christmas. Edmond, one of the children, had sided with the White Queen in an earlier visit, because she feed him some magic candy and offered him prince hood. The other children find out that Asland, the Lord of all Narnia is coming back, Edmond runs away to the White Queen. The children meet up with Asland and Edmond returns with the Queen. Under a law dictated by "Deep magic from the Dawn of Time" the White Queen has the right to kill Edmond. Asland trades id life for Edmond's. After Asland's sacrifice, Asland is resurrected. Through a huge battle for Narnia, the children and animals of good kill the White Queen. The children fulfill a prophecy about two sons of Adam and 2 daughters of Eve saving Narnia. The children spend years in Narnia, then find there way back to England only to see that no time has passed in England.
             C.S. Lewis claims to have written The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe his whole life up to when it was published. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the first book in The Chronicles of Narnia.
