LotR VS. CoN Continued: I decided I'd get two birds with one stone today


The title pretty much says it all. I thought and thought, but I didn't see any Bible similarities in Prince Caspian, The Horse and His Boy, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, or The Silver Chair. So today I'll do The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and The Last Battle.

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe:
Edmund betrays his siblings to the White Witch= Judas betrays Jesus to the Roman people.

Aslan dies on the Stone Table so that Edmund doesn't have to= Jesus died on the cross so we wouldn't have to die and, well, stay dead. So we could instead go to Heaven when we die.

Aslan rises again= Jesus rises again in three days.

(Please tell me if I missed anything, it's been a loooong time since I read it)

The Last Battle:
Aslan hasn't been around Narnia in a really long time, and people begin to doubt. The Ape skins a lion and puts the skin on his donkey friend. Everyone thinks Aslan has come back and they do anything the donkey, who is being told what to say by the Ape, wants them to do.= The Anti-Christ.

Finally, Aslan comes back and destroys Narnia and creates a much, much better version. Lucy, Edmund, and Peter have died (Susan doesn't die, and she doesn't believe in Aslan anymore), and they go to Narnia.= The second coming of Christ. God destroys the heavens and earth and makes new ones. Believers go to Heaven.

  1. Great post! You covered the stuff Finding God in Narnia book didn't <_< was an odd book lol

    But there's all sorts of stuff in the other books ;) Just maybe no STRAIGHT allegory. It's like the LOTR :P

  2. Yeah, lol. I just couldn't think of ANYTHING for the life of me. I was having a tired day ;)

    Hey, maybe, if you wouldn't terribly mind, could help me think of some of the stuff in LotR. I'm mostly drawing blanks. >_>
