another Lewisian insight

I've realize more and more the amount of stuff that has flown under my radar when taking a second look at things. Namely literature and all sorts of media from back when I was younger.

The pop culture references made by Animaniacs. The opera and classical music homages made by Looney Tunes. The numerous allegorical references made by countless authors in long forgotten short stories and novels I've read in my much younger youth.

Some of the most prominent novels from years before that comes to mind are the Chronicles of Narnia. Needless to say, jam-packed with allegory.

I've decided to read and reread the novels in the series and add my own commentary to the already countless writings on said novels.

The Magician's Nephew
-Aslan sings existence into being.
Biblical translations have said that God spoke existence into being. What if He sang it instead? Would it be any less beautiful?

-Aslan said to Digory that since man brought corruption into the world, it is through man that he will save the world.
One man.......يسوع .יֵשׁוּעַ. 耶穌. 예수님. Ἰησοῦς. Иисус. Iesus. Through His victory we no longer fear the death that comes from Adam's failure.

-Aslan makes Frank and Helen king and queen of Narnia.
God put Adam and Eve in charge of a newly created existence. With that, I daresay, it is implied that they were to look after and take care of the Earth. We should do likewise.

-Is it always the case that each family has a crazy/weird uncle?
-The horse was named "Strawberry", and then it grew wings and his name was changed to "Fledge". I personally think "The Flying Strawberry" should have been it.
-Did the idea of the green and yellow rings give rise to the idea of the red and blue pills in The Matrix?
