another Lewisian insight (iii)

Prince Caspian

-Old Narnians in hiding.
Quite possibly, reminiscent of the Judean exile in Babylon.

-The whole storyline has a Post-Hamlet, Pre-Lion King flavor.

-A dwarf says that the supposedly haunted forest "Smells likes ghosts." I wonder if ghosts have a scent?

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

-Aslan's appearance in both his forms to the children at the edge of the world.
An apparent nod to Christ as the Lamb of God (John 1:29) and the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5).

The Silver Chair

-Serpent/Lady of the Green Kirtle's spell over Rilian.
The tempter is a liar. So take heed.

-Eustace, Aslan, and the thorn in his paw.
The piercing of Christ and shed of His blood brought/brings forth transformation in all who believe.
