Title: Differences between Aslan and the White Witch
The story begins with four young children playing hide and seek in an old professor Digory Kirke’s mysterious house that they discover a secret wardrobe which will take them to magical places. When they step through the wardrobe, they are escaped from the Word War II into an astonished place known as Narnia. It is fairy tales place which animals could talk, full of magic and mythical creatures. However, Narnia is covered with glaciers, freezing cold and winter never ends by the White Witch, Jadis. People there have no freedom under the dictated
He is a merciful, fair and impartial lion. People labeled him as “The King of Narnia”, “The Lord of the Wood”, “The Son of the Great-Emperor-Beyond-the Sea” and “The King of Beasts”. When decisions are wrongly decided by people or something goes incorrectly, he would help people to correct it and lead them back to the right direction. He is charitable and amiable although Aslan sometimes give us a feeling that he is awe-inspiring and a little bit frightening. The author, C.S Lewis, set Aslan act like Christ. He just wants to ensure that Aslan is a figurative representation of Jesus Christ. Aslan is as dangerous as the other beasts mentioned in the story since he is a wild lion but if we thin deeply, he is actually a kind-hearted lion. As Mr. Beaver says, Cause he isn’t safe. But he's good. He’s the King, I tell you." (Ch8 p.80). He wants us to learn that we cannot use a person’s appearance to judge whether he is good or evil.

People hope he can bring Narnia back to spring which is warm. Mr. Beaver can prove that Aslan can solve the problem. "Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in
Also, she is a nasty usurper; she uses the Secret Police in order to exploit messages in Narnia. Moreover, she has a power that is very horrible; she can use her magic stick to turn people into stone and put them into her big house. The scariest thing that can threaten to the White Witch is the four children and Aslan returns back to Narnia. If it really happens, the White Witch will be dead. She has a strange white face, “Her face was white – not merely pale, but white like snow or paper or icing-sugar, except for her very red mouth. It was a beautiful face in other respects, but proud and cold and stern.” (Ch.3 p.31) Her facial expression is just the same of how she creates Narnia, there are no happiness and hope. In fact she is not really a human. Mr. Beaver explained that she is based on her claims to be a queen, but she not Daughter of Eve. He says “you father Adam’s first wife, her they called Lilith. And she was one of the Jinn. That’s what she comes from on one side. And on the other she comes of the giants. No, no, there isn’t a drop of real human blood in the witch (Ch.8
