The interesting part of Edmund’s character is when he returns to The White Witch and her castle on his second trip to Narnia with his siblings. So when The White Witch gives him special attention, he can’t help but feel loved. He isn’t as close with the rest of them as they are with each other. Before Narnia he’s kind of the lost child in the line up – he always picks on Lucy and gives her a hard time and scolded by his older siblings. He just comes across the villain first and falls in with her. Lewis does a good job with this in Edmund and the role that he plays in the book.įirst off Edmund himself isn’t bad in the way that many villains are. I have often thought that in a way it is easier to write bad characters than good characters – they don’t always have to play by the rules and they often have interesting motivations and back stories (not that good characters don’t but there’s just something about a villain’s back story that I am really interested in). I will always connect it with this story.) (I’ve actually had Turkish Delight when I was in Turkey freshman year of college and it is pretty good. When he gets there he meets The White Witch, who offers him whatever he wants in the way of food and he snacks on the Turkish Delight that she gives him. I found Lucy and Edmund to be the most interesting of the children – Peter and Susan kind of take on the role of parents as the two oldest, and while Peter does have a good story arc of accepting his role of High King of Narnia, I just found Edmund and Lucy to be the most interesting.Įdmund is an interesting character because he is pegged as the “evil one” when he follows Lucy into Narnia. With the help of the magical creatures of Narnia and Aslan of course, the children set out to bring back spring, but of course not everything goes to plan. Lucy finds Narnia through the wardrobe she walks into a world enchanted into an eternal winter (with no Christmas) at the hands of The White Witch. I feel like the plot of this book is fairly well known. In it we are introduced to the Pevensie children – Peter, Susan, Lucy, and Edmund, who reappear in future books, and we see more of Narnia post-creation. I would say that The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is probably the most well known book in the Narnia series, and although it is only the second in the line up, it is also one of the most pivotal.
