   delve into the magical wardrobe in which a magical continent awaits! "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is a fictional novel written by Clive Staples Lewis, the author of the renowned Chronicles of Narnia series. 

"'The Lion, the Witch, and

Chronicles of Narnia series.'"

   the Pevensie siblings were sent to London to live with a professor during a war. Lucy, the youngest of the four, accidentally found Narnia whilst playing a round of hide and seek. the world of Narnia is filled with fantastical creatures— ruled over by the evil tyrant, the White Witch.

   after days of deeply analyzing the novel, i've come to the conclusion that this novel is somewhat parallel to the story of Jesus. Aslan, who represents Jesus himself, died for the sin that Edmund committed (his loyalty to the White Witch is an act of trechery), just as Jesus himself died in order to save humankind. through Aslan's death, Edmund's sin was eliminated. the Witch itself is a symbol of the devil. devil's are known for their deceitfulness, and this was portrayed in the scene where Edmund first found out about Narnia.

   personally, i'm no longer fond of novels that strays away from reality, but The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a great novel. it gives us a different perspective on faith, and basically talks about the limitless expanse of our imagination. the young girl in me is squealing with delight after being satisfied with the ending, and how the novel sated my desire for an escape route.
