Two weeks ago, I received a reader request in the comments box for my non-Disney princess article about doing a Narnia piece. Hope you enjoy this one, Chloe! (And to all you comment-less readers with thoughts for CF articles, please take this opportunity to submit your suggestions below.)

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Written by C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a children’s fantasy novel encompassing the second World War, the English countryside, and a magical land hidden behind a professor’s wardrobe. (But, mostly, it’s about four children and their adventures in Narnia, the other world with talking beavers and a feline Christ figure.)

Much has already been said about The Chronicles of Narnia’s mythological elements, profoundly Christian message, and general excellence, which is why we’re focusing on something else today — the three main ladies from the books and films: Lucy, Susan, and the White Witch.

Lucy Pevensie

The youngest of the Pevensie children, Lucy Pevensie is generally considered to be everyone’s favorite. She’s certainly the easiest to love, having purity of heart and noble strength in abundance. (Fun fact: C.S. Lewis was a huge fan of Lucy in particular, naming and modeling this Pevensie after his own beloved goddaughter.)

In terms of plot points and cause and effect, Lucy is also a highly significant character — she’s the first one to enter the world of Narnia and befriend one of its inhabitants, Mr. Tumnus. Pushing her older siblings to believe in the nature of Aslan and Narnia, Lucy represents youth in all its wholesomeness.
