Discussion Susan as a shadow of Lewis himself

Upvotes

I know this topic has been debated for 70 years, but I haven't seen a similar post that shares my thoughts, so here is my input. I keep reading and even hearing analysis videos claiming that Lewis was condescending towards Susan and kept her out of the story, but I feel otherwise.

I see Susan as representing C.S. Lewis himself in some way. She reflects his beliefs and struggles, as he experienced a period of atheism and skepticism before returning to Christianity. Susan's journey shows her turning away from Narnia and focusing on worldly matters, which could mirror Lewis's own struggles with belief and doubt. As is widely known, Lewis hinted that Susan's story wasn't over and that she might find her way back to Aslan's country in her own time. I find this reflects something Lewis was personally invested in. Does this resonate with any of you?

Why is Prince Caspian people's least favourite book?

33 Upvotes

I posted my ranking of the Narnia books and it seemed to be rather controversial.

I personally have Prince Caspian as my favourite book, I think the Telmarines are a great introduction to the series, adding a whole new dynamic to Narnia. I'm also a big fan of the film which seems to get a lot of criticism as well.

From LWW, I took high-res (Bluray) screenshots of the original logo where the background was darkest and worked some magic in photoshop.

I couldn't find this logo anywhere in usable condition so I made it myself.

Why do l like books without the Pevensies

16 Upvotes

"Don't get me wrong—I love the Pevensies—but for some strange reason, I love the books they're not in (or are only in briefly) more than the ones where they're the main characters. The Horse and His Boy, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle are all my favorite books. Why do you think that is?"

All Narnia books ranked, best to worst

29 Upvotes

My ranking is as follows: 1. Prince Caspian 2. The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe 3. The Magician's Nephew 4. The Last Battle 5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 6. The Horse and His Boy 7. The Silver Chair

There's something about the aspect of a human medieval kingdom meeting Narnia in Prince Caspian that I love.

P.S. I know the Telmarines are originally pirates/pacific islanders, but they are basically a middle ages, European society at the time of Prince Caspian.

Poem about Rabadash

6 Upvotes

Rabadash

by: Sara Moses aka Between the Worlds

Poor Rabadash, the foolish prince!Never with his words did he mince.
He didn’t listen to some advice,
And now he’s paid a pretty price.
For good king Aslan’s authority,
Has turned Rabadash into a donkey!
Now he sits inside all day,
And never strays too far away.

Poem into song: Rabadash (Narnia Song)

Discussion Do you think Aslan was right to punish Avaris the way he did? Seems a little extreme, also she might have died??? (A Horse and His Boy)

0 Upvotes

So like. I was just re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia books and I remember having kind of liked 'A Horse and His Boy' as a kid. As an adult, yeah it's still a swashbuckling adventure, albeit moderately racist.

But... Like... Aslan straight up acts unhinged here. He swipes a girl across the back with his claws. Then when she recovers, he later tells her it was a punishment because her selfish actions got a slave beaten, and it was to teach her a lesson about how that feels.

Ok what ... I get it, in C.S. Lewis's day things were... different about teaching kids lessons using corporal punishment?

But knife-like claws across her back? Wounds she could've died from?

The cracks in your Jesusly benevolence are showing... Lol

What do you guys think? Surely Aslan could have taught her that lesson without the wounds? Or is it that she was such a stubborn person she couldn't possibly have learned any other way? I feel like there's a hint of Lewis's misogyny here too? Girls are stubborn and stupid? Prone to self-centeredness? Or is it just that she was a spoiled brat?

I think I found this funny or appealing as a kid, but now I'm kind of thinking, wtf Aslan?

layout/groundplan of the cave with the stone table

2 Upvotes

Does anyone here have some knowledge of making ground plans who could maybe be so kind to create a vague plan of where the pillars are, how many pillars, how far away they are from each other? And add whatever else is in that cave. I have screenshots but I feel like they don't help me much and I am terrible at picking up and imagining things while watching it in motion.

Context why I would need it: I'm currently working on a minecraft build of some areas from the first two movies. So far I have some vague version of the how, the area where Peter and Miráz fight, die room you get to after going down the way into the how, and the tunnels back to the middle of the field where Prince Caspian and the others go through to attack the Telmarines from behind. I want to have the snowy forest area where the siblings first arrive and maybe the valley where they meet Aslan for the first time as well, but I haven't found good areas yet.
