The Chronicles Of Narni The Witch, And The Wardrobe

In “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” Aslan is the great lion who rules over all of Narnia. He hasn’t been seen for generations, and his return is nothing short of fulfilling the prophecy. He is the embodiment of all that is good and right.

The most prominent example of Aslan embodying Christ is when he dies on the stone table. On the way, he walks through the forest with Susan and Lucy, much like the way Christ was with his disciples in His last hours.

Aslan resurrected just as Jesus did, because love is strong enough to turn back all evils, even death. Another similarity is how at the end of the film, Aslan goes away again, after he just returned. Jesus does the same after his resurrection three days later, and both are said to come
