NARNIA AND OUR WORLD
An (Almost) Eternal Conflict
T
he Chronicles of Narnia reflect
moral conflict akin to the spi-
ritual conflict that Christians
experience on Earth.
Aslan, creator of Narnia, is called several times to protect his
creation from the many dark forces that threaten it. Through
his marvelous deeds, the Lion implies that Good can and must
triumph over Evil, but also that such victory comes at a price.
Humans that come to Aslan’s world are almost always confron-
ted with the responsibility of defeating the evil forces (Jadis,
the Telmarines, the Green Witch, etc.) that seek to corrupt
the happy and peaceful Kingdom of Narnia. Such responsibility
forces characters to make choices and sacrifices, which in
turn change the characters themselves. This is what makes
Narnia such a dynamic world, one where the good guys do not
always make the right choice and the bad guys do not always
regret their wrongdoings.
