What did Aslan say to Susan?
Aslan tells Susan that she has “listened to fears”, but his breath soon restores her faith, and she immerses herself in their adventures as deeply as in the first book. She later accompanies Lucy as Aslan revives the forest and river spirits of Narnia.
Why did Susan Peter leave Narnia?
At the end of Prince Caspian, Peter announces that he will not be returning to Narnia, and neither will Susan, because Aslan has told them they are too old. And in their final Narnian adventure, Eustace and Jill are 16.
What does Susan represent in Narnia?
Sisters Susan and Lucy are presented as the Mary Magdalene and Mary the Mother of James figures, who watched as Jesus was mocked and abused and who care for his battered corpse after death. Aslan the lion represents Jesus.
What does Susan first say when she steps into Narnia?
“I don’t want to go a step further and I wish we’d never come. But I think we must try to do something for Mr. Whatever-his-name-is—I mean the Faun.”
What does Aslan mean in The Chronicles of Narnia?
Aslan meant that Susan was no longer a friend of Narnia because she no longer believed it was real. She treated it like a children’s game or a crazy dream. This came about because she was distracted by her everyday life and didn’t continuously remind herself of it.
Is Susan no longer a friend of Narnia?
The people (including even notables like Neil Gaiman) who assume this are putting far too much emphasis on the specific examples Susan’s friend, Jill Pole, uses to describe her attitude, and are ignoring the point that their “aunt” Polly sums up. “My sister Susan,” answered Peter shortly and gravely, “is no longer a friend of Narnia.”
What does Aslan say at the end of the Dawn Treader?
Fallen human nature has its consequences, as Aslan reminds us with an occasional low growl. At the end of the Dawn Treader, Aslan tells the departing Lucy and Edmund that their time in Narnia was given to them so that they might better know Christ in their own world.
Is Peter right or wrong in Narnia?
But that doesn’t actually change the basic question, since we’re led to conclude that Peter is correct (C.S. Lewis was never shy about letting the reader know when a character is jumping to a false conclusion, at least not in the Narnia books).
