The first appearances of Narnia became apparent to Lucy when she enters her uncle’s wardrobe while they were playing hide and seek. To her she couldn’t believe what was happening, it was like a make believe world. When she met Mr. Tummus (a fawn), confusion struck her, but Tummus did a good job to explaining what was going on. After manipulating Lucy into to following him back to his house he tried to put her to sleep. His intentions were to sell her to the Witch due to false presumptions. Lewis has Tummus under the impression that Lucy was an evil person trying to take over the reign of the queen. False accusations led to an almost destructive ending, but through Lucy’s intelligent ways she manages to explain all this is false. This act alone is what Lewis intended to be the incitement. Lewis makes Tummus appear as someone who lost faith in, religion but later converts back to the good side which is a foreshadowing as to what will happen
