…Īnd why is faith in one talking lion so important in a story about multitudes of talking animals, not to mention centaurs, minotaurs, river-gods and tree-spirits? For that matter, why are we talking about faith in such positive terms in the midst of a story about mythical creatures? Because author C.S.
Why? Because that former glory included reverence for and faith in Aslan. The Pevensies and Caspian will do anything, even risk their own lives, to restore Narnia to its former glory. The badger Trufflehunter defies social expectations when he goes into Good Samaritan mode and patches up Caspian when he’s first found, wounded, in the woods. Doctor Cornelius, who has been teaching Caspian about Aslan, says he’s risked his life all these years so that the prince could become a better king than those who came before him. A minotaur gives up his life to save some of his comrades. He returns the favor later, at different times saving Susan and Lucy. Susan and Peter save the dwarf Trumpkin from execution. They’ve been brought back to Narnia for a purpose, and they’re determined to discover it and fulfill it. The children demonstrate their loyalty to Narnia time and time again as they set aside their own desires and needs for the greater good. Caspian has a harder time restraining himself, but he does the right thing, too. Despite advice to the contrary from Edmund, Peter refuses to kill Miraz in a winner-take-all duel. At stake? The very soul of Narnia and the Narnians’ fading belief in Aslan. Caspian and Peter lead their troops into battle against Miraz. A baby boy changes that equation and Caspian flees for his life-straight into the deep woods that protect pockets of Old Narnians.Įnter the talking animals. The lad’s evil Uncle Miraz (having murdered Caspian’s father) only tolerates Caspian because he has no son of his own to inherit the throne. He comes face to face with the truth soon enough. (Or so it is thought.) Caspian and other kids of his generation have been raised to believe that the old stories about Narnia, its magic, the White Witch and Aslan himself are fairy tales. Caspian is a Telmarine, a human race that has conquered Narnia and driven its diverse inhabitants to extinction. Though he’s not a Narnian at all, much of this story revolves around the titular prince. Little do they know that Cair Paravel lies in ruins and 1,300 years have passed since their last visit. They’re pulled into Narnia at the request of Susan’s magical horn of need, blown by Prince Caspian. They get their wish while sitting on a train platform waiting to go back to school for a new term. Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter are a year older than they were in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and they’re longing to return to the world that once made them kings and queens.
