    The book The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, takes place in Narnia. Narnia is a land of talking animals. This story appeals to a younger audience, since they are interested in animals and magical creatures. One of the main characters, Aslan, is the lion who rules Narnia. According to the passage, Aslan is a type of god-like figure because of his long life, immense power, and benevolence. It is very fascinating to note that, when they hear Aslan's name, the children recognize his power, but also become more themselves. The physical form of the lion does not matter. The author uses a lion because a child associates a lion as being scary, but in the story the lion is kind and brave. Aslan's characteristics alter the young readers…

    She desires to win at all costs; it matters not whether winning will kill or maim others. In order for the Witch to continue her malicious rule, she continues to deceive others to become a part of her coalition. Many, though they dislike the Witch, can do nothing to stop her; only Aslan has the power to accomplish this. The Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve also stand in her way. If the Pevensie children fulfill the ancient prophecy and take up the four thrones of Cair Paravel as Kings and Queens of Narnia, the reign of the White Witch and the endless winter will end. Aware of this prophecy, over her reign as “queen,” the White Witch has managed to rid the country of any human race. Now when humans start entering into Narnia through a secret passage—to continue her control over the land—the Pevensie children must be caught and executed (Lewis 74-78). Aslan, who has come to liberate all of Narnia from the Witch’s villainous domination, must also be terminated if the Witch wishes to continue her reign (Brennan). The White Witch uses every tool she has to achieve this corrupt goal of continued enslavement of…

    These events include the coming of the Antichrist, an ape aptly named Shift, whose actions lead to the enslavement and wanton killing of the true citizens of Narnia. The talking beasts are enslaved, while the tree people, the Dryads, are killed for timber. The Narnians eventually lead a revolt against Shift and his companions, led by King Tirian ‘the last of the Kings of Narnia’. The revolt sadly fails, even with the aid of Jill and Eustace, who are summoned back to Narnia to help in its final hour of need, and many true followers of Aslan are killed. But all is not lost: King Tirian, Jill and Eustace are pushed through a stable door during the final battle, only to discover another, ‘more real and more beautiful’ Narnia within the stable. The reference to a new Narnia echoes John’s description of a ‘New Jerusalem’ in Revelation. As night falls on the old Narnia, its inhabitants pass by Aslan for their final judgment, some entering into the new Narnia and the others disappearing into Aslan’s…

    Her story is filled with immense grief and pain, and the drastic consequences that result from the insanity of loving loved ones. The Plague is unforgiving and unbiased, as “wealth and connection are no shield” against it. Anna, a young mother of two, loses both children to the epidemic. She loved them ‘from the moment [she] reached down and touched the crown of [their] heads” and yet the place was ‘cruel’ and threw blows upon blows “so that before you have mourned one person that you love, another is ill in your arms”. The death of two young, innocent children is not only horrifying and heart-wrenching, but reduces Anna to “not really seeing anything. It is only the tragedy of losing her ‘babes’, husband, potential lover in Mr Viccar, that she turns to Elinor and begins to learn the arts of physick. An aspect of the time era this story was set in, was the people’s avid belief of medicine and herbs being the way of the witches. Instead of accepting Any and Mem Gowdie’s goodwill and knowledge that was “old before Mem Gowdie was even thought of”, they went to hire expensive physicians which ultimately give no help. Birthing places a woman in a fragile and vulnerable state, and yet “there were few who would do without Anys in their birthing room” despite many of them fearing that Anys was a witch. Although they hated the Gowdies’, ironically, when the death toll rises to where over two-thirds of the villagers lose their lives to the Plague, many people resort to witchcraft, believing the in the “ghost of Anys”. They place themselves through unnecessary punishment and pain, such as “boiling the babe’s piss” or passing a child “through the brambles”. Through desperation, flagellants also appear, desperate to please their God through self punishment. The villager’s lack of knowledge and unwillingness to accept views which lie…

    In the tale “The ring of Gyges” the shepherd Gyges finds a magical ring within unusual bronze horse. Using this ring, he entices the queen and they collaborate to murder the king and takes control of the kingdom. Given his tale, Glaucon come to a conclusion that if similar rings were to be given to unjust man and a just man, then both of them would behave unjustly. Therefore this proves that people act justly only as an obligation by nature and he claims that all living beings aspire more than what they are actually due. This story remains vital to the society today because it covers what we can expect humans to do with authority over others. I do concur with this simile because, for instance, in politics, we give authority to others, expecting that they will do what is right. We better then, watch out because anyone who acquires power without accountability is culpable to use it unjustly. This portrays a negative image in our society as it is a vice for persons to act unjustly to others and can only…
