Is Lucy Justified In Entering Narnia

Lucy’s older siblings were determined guilty for false accusations. The Bible says, “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” Although Peter, Edmund, and Susan did not exactly confess that they falsely accused Lucy of lying when they realized that they were wrong they apologized to Lucy. By doing this and entering Narnia they learned many valuable lessons that they would have never learned if the older siblings were shown mercy. There was once a child who had been an avid explorer. He climbed trees, chased butterflies, and ventured recklessly in the woods. The boy loved the woods and would spend most of his free time there. One day this young boy raced through the woods right next
The mistress of the house they were sent to set down strict rules which limited what they could do around the melancholy mansion. The four spent their seemingly endless days locked in their room in sheer boredom searching for anything that would entertain them. One day, upon agreeing to play hide and seek, the youngest of the family, Lucy, discovered a wardrobe at the end of an empty room. Filled with immense curiosity, she approached the looming piece of furniture and daintily opened the door. The door revealed many coats all of which looked to be very expensive. A smile of victory crept on Lucy’s sweet face as she decided that this wooden wardrobe would be her hiding place. After all, no one would think to look there. The youngest crept to the back of the wardrobe but it did not seem to end. Something cold touched her bare feet and without wasting a second she twirled around and saw something that she could have never imagined. It was a snowy forest that you would see on a post card. The magical atmosphere lulled the curious Lucy to explore. After a long while Lucy could not hold her childish excitement. She knew this magical place called Narnia would take her siblings minds off of the dreadful thoughts of the war and the boredom of the house they were staying in. She rushed back the way she came and stumbled out of
The siblings were stuck in the mansion with nothing to do so when Lucy discovered Narnia she wanted to bring her siblings there in the hope that it could make them happy. It might have even take their minds off the terrors of World War II. Not only this but Lucy had also met a friend in Narnia who told her all about the magical land. This had assured Lucy that Narnia was safe, proving that Lucy only had her sibling’s best intentions in mind. Lucy often displayed her good judgment. She was able to tell immediately that Mr. Tumnus was a kind friend, even when later in the book he confessed that he had initially planned to kidnap her. Despite that she felt certain that he would not have harmed her in any way. In the end, despite Lucy’s age she was wise beyond her years and had a good sense about what is right. Some people say that Peter, Edmund, and Susan should not have been punished for accusing Lucy of lying about Narnia. They argue saying that Lucy was childish. She could have simply imagined Narnia, she is just being an annoying younger sister, and it could be her way of distracting herself. Therefore, because she was childish they have no reasoning to believe her. This argument is invalid because Lucy was known to not lie and is known to be wise beyond her
