Rantings, ravings and ramblings of strange fiction writer, THE. But it could also be sin called by any name (as in thievery, drunkenness, adultery, and covetousness 1 Cor 6.9-10) and which is addictive in just the same way as drugs. Lewis' Turkish Delight here could have an obvious direct correlation to drugs or any addictive substance such as opium, heroin, nicotine, or alcohol.
Turkish Delight Narnia Allegory Series Of Chronicles
If I haven’t wasted the money on a cinema ticket, I don’t feel the need to complain about something I didn’t pay good money for — not directly anyway. It wasn’t as ropey as some of the write-ups had led me to believe, I’d have to say, but then I can be quite forgiving of big eye-candy movies when they’re on TV. Lewis, also known as the first movie of the series of Chronicles of Narnia, four children- Susan, Edmund, Peter, and Lucy accidentally walks into a magical land- Narnia.So I caught the movie version of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe over Christmas. In the book The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe written by C.S. Hospitality in the Chronicles of Narnia is another Christian theme that can be identified in the novel.The Symbolism of Turkish Delight in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by Jiyun.
Offers him with Turkish Delight extracting a promise from him.The White Witch symbolizes the Devil or Satan and the evil she has put over Narnia which symbolizes the cold snowy weather. I got a lot of enjoyment out of the Narnia books as a kid, and for all the transparency of Aslan’s death and resurrection, it was only really the final book, The Last Battle, that really didn’t work for me.The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is an allegory with the Biblical themes of betrayal. Truth be told though, it’s never bothered me as much as the subtexts that lurk within LotR. But, of course, there is that whole Christian allegory thing lurking at the heart of it, which should surely alienate me from it.
He sold out his own siblings for some Turkish Delight and a promise of princeship. The White Witch came upon a. When Edmund entered the wardrobe and stepped into Narnia, his heart was almost as icy as the landscape. Just how it all turns, back-flips, somersaults, spins around until it’s dizzy, ties itself in knots and eventually collapses in complete disarray.1: Turkish delight will appear most appealing when we are weak. Still, on watching the movie a good couple of decades since I last read the book, as much as I found it enjoyable enough, I couldn’t help but start to think through just what Lewis is saying here, in allegorical terms, just how it all turns on the idea that, by the rules of Deep Magic, Edmund must die.
Now the White Witch doesn’t strike one as being averse to that sort of thing, being evil and all. Which is to say, sinners are damned to the devil. This is where Deep Magic Rule #1 comes in: traitors belong to the White Witch, who gets to gut them like a slaughtered lamb on the stone table, if she so desires.
The rules of Deep Magic don't give a fuck about age and responsibility. Which is to say, in the whole Christian allegory malarky, that God’s Law is absolute. She’s right.See, this is where Deep Magic Rule #2 comes in, as we learn that any breach of the rules of the Deep Magic will lead to the End Of Narnia As We Know It unless the decreed punishment is meted out. Nobody’s going to take her demand seriously, surely.But, yes, we’re told by Aslan.
And if the White Witch invokes this rule, it’s Aslan who insists that it’s absolute, note. You gonna burn in the fires of damnation, short-stop. You gotta be gutted like a slaughtered lamb on that stone table… and for the sake of Narnia, no less. So fucking what? You gonna die, you pint-size but neverthelesss treacherous motherfucker.
Shut the fuck up, we’re told. Or, to put it in Christian terminology, Edmund is repentant. He's entirely ready to make some sort of atonement. Killing him on the stone table seems a tad extreme. He’s really sorry and it was all a big mistake, really, so let’s cut him some slack.
God’s Law don’t care if you’re so so sowwy. The rules of Deep Magic don't give a fuck about a transgressor’s change of heart. This is the End Of Narnia As We Know It we’re talking about.
Seems kinda weird that it’s so dismissive of repentance, but it’s not so far off the attitude of some strains of Christian judgementalism — the Westboro Baptists, say. Well, it’s a sort of Christian allegory. So you really really wish you hadn’t done it? Too late now, fuckwit.OK. Scream it at the top of your little lungs as you’re being cast into the lake of fire.
Peter, Susan, Lucy, they're all entirely ready to accept his atonement, to forgive him his betrayal. Oh no.But, but, but… But Edmund's victims don't give a shit about Deep Magic Rule #2. What is clear is that Edmund feeling miserable about his treachery is just not enough. So should Edmund be apologising to Aslan, throwing himself on the lion’s infinite mercy? This is not clear, to be honest. Repentance is about apologising to God.
