Narnia Chat - all Narnians welcome!

It's funny, but sad too. She got too old for fairy tales and dreams and chose to forget, so she could be accepted into society.

And in a way, the symbolism for that could be a Christian who walked away from their faith.

True, that too!

 

[PioneerChicks]

I really need to read all the books again. I always loved trying to figure out what all the symbolism in them mean.

So do I! Do you know where it is in Prince Caspian? I've been looking for it.

 

[PioneerChicks]

I have never been able to find the symbolism in there. Maybe if I read it again I could find it.

Maybe it is something as simple as the rising of a good ruler in a wicked world? It's hard to say. I tried to Google it once, but the answers were ridiculous.

 

[PioneerChicks]

I don’t know. The movie version of that was not to my liking at all. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe they did a decent job on though.

Yeah, I was mad that they made Lucy chubby in Prince Caspian. And she was obviously a completely different actor too.

 

[PioneerChicks]

And with the whole Susan/Caspian thing.

Oh, I'd forgotten about that part!

On a side note, I have always loved the illustrations in the original books.

Said J.R.R. Tolkien of illustrator Pauline Baynes' work:

"They are more than illustrations", he wrote to Allen & Unwin on 16 March 1949, "they are a collateral theme. I showed them to my friends whose polite comment was that they reduced my text to a commentary on the drawings."

i looked up something about susan, and apparently she is lost to narnia bc she discovered lipstick(?)

Narnian: Aslan! Susan discovered lipstick!
Aslan: She is lost now


this may not be funny for certain people

I don't think I've seen those illustrations. I'll have to look into them!
