Why did aslan have to die




















As a result, Narnia movies would not continue, The Silver Chair film has apparently been canceled instead having a tv adaptation. The moon rises and is consumed by the sun. Aslan orders Father Time to crush the sun like an orange, and almost immediately, the great body of water starts to become solid ice. Peter closes the freezing door and locks it , thus bringing an end to the World of Narnia. Netflix is developing new live-action adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia by C. It is as if the sun rose one day and were a black sun.

Many of the characters are based on real people Lewis borrowed most of Narnia from other works, legends, and his own religious background. Summary of the Story The White Witch symbolizes the Devil or Satan and the evil she has put over Narnia which symbolizes the cold snowy weather.

When the kids enter Narnia, Edmund betrays his brother and sisters by going to the White Witch telling the which that he has brought them to Narnia. Aslan's Country is a fictional location from C. It is the home of Aslan, the great lion. It is described as a series of mountains, thousands of feet high, but without snow or ice. Instead, Aslan's Country has a clear blue sky, lush green grass, colourful birds, and beautiful trees. Lucy was the most faithful and devout out of the four Pevensie siblings, which was the reason for her being capable of seeing Aslan when her siblings were unable to , and why she never stopped believing in Narnia.

She fears a prophecy that four humans — two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve — will cause her downfall , and orders all Narnians to bring any human they come across to her.

That the sky was growing less dark, and that there was something moving at her feet. But, if you're in a hurry in saying it, it sometimes comes out AZ-lin. Some of you must be aware that Mr. Lewis derived the name Aslan from the Turkish word for "lion. The Emperor was often referred to as " Aslan's great Father , the Emperor-over-the-sea" and other such titles. He was greatly respected by his son and all who honoured the Lion.

You can read about him in the magician's nephew. This indicates Lewis' view of Narnia as a fictional parallel universe.

As Lewis wrote in a letter to a Mrs Hook in December If Aslan represented the immaterial Deity in the same way in which Giant Despair [a character in The Pilgrim's Progress] represents despair, he would be an allegorical figure.

The Stone Table itself and not the hill is one of these symbols: it is symbolic of the cross of Jesus, and the killing of Aslan on it for the sin treachery of Edmund Pevensie, alludes to the crucifixion of Christ. After the Pevensie children help defeat the Telmarines, Peter formally gives Caspian the authority to rule a free Narnia. Peter later confided to Lucy and Edmund that he was told by Aslan that he and Susan will never return to Narnia , as they are now too old, and have learned all that they can from that world.

During the World War II bombings of London, four English siblings are sent to a country house where they will be safe. One day Lucy Georgie Henley finds a wardrobe that transports her to a magical world called Narnia.

Aslan, a lion , is the rightful King of Narnia and other magic countries. He sacrifices himself to save Edmund, but is resurrected in time to aid the denizens of Narnia and the Pevensie children against the White Witch and her minions. Tumnus had also agreed to work for the White Witch and betrayed his Country.

Of course, he was turned to stone, so maybe that counts for the White Witch's "right to a kill. Narnia Comics: viewtopic. I feel that Aslan died for Edmund only. If you look at it more from Edmund's perspective, it makes Aslan's sacrifice more personal, rather than having Aslan die for everyone. It can get a little confusing when one thinks about it. Some of the posts here provide some good insight on the Deep er Magic and the law about traitors, which is a close parallel to the law of God and how Jesus' sacrifice fulfilled or satisfied the law.

His sacrifice was to die in our place for all our sins. Jesus' took our place and provided the blood shed for us. Aslan does a similar thing for Edmund. Edmund didn't have to do a thing to earn it either. Same with us. We receive forgiveness because of God's grace, which comes from His sacrifice for us.

I think I almost like the story better with Aslan dying only for Edmund. It gives it a more personal touch. If Aslan died for all of Narnia, it may have lessened the effect or impact of what he was doing.

While Aslan didn't die for all of Narnia, the concept of how Jesus fulfilled the law by taking our place and shedding His blood, which the law demanded, is intact in the story of Aslan's sacrifice.

I think that's much more important. Sorry for any run-on sentences. I'm bad about that. Edmund, as a human born on Earth, was already forgiven from Christ's sacrifice on the Cross years or so earlier. So the sacrifice was not to redeem a "fallen mankind" which was already done once, permanently. If Mr. Beaver and Mr. Badger shot craps on a Sunday with the mortgage money it wouldn't mean that the foxes would be in mortal danger of a highly unpleasant afterlife.

All mankind are sons of Adam and daughters of Eve, but not everyone is a son of Trufflehunter. But yes, I do agree that the character of the sacrifice made a permanent change to the status quo since the table itself cracked.

A table that itself can be compared as closely with the stone tablets of Moses as with the Cross of Christ. Lewis used this to show the specific goal of Jesus' sacrifice: to redeem individual human hearts. A lot of times I don't realize the power of Jesus' sacrifice because it's easy to just think of Jesus dying for the whole world, end of story. And he did die for the world, but there's more: he died for each one of us. Each person on this earth. I think it's almost more powerful the way Lewis chose to write it, because Aslan died for just one person.

The Witch's servants torture, humiliate and mock Aslan, yet Aslan's patience endures. The chapter concludes with hopelessness and sadness.

The death of Aslan seems final. Once Aslan is dead, there will be no one to stop the Witch from attaining power and committing atrocities. Aslan was Narnia's one hope, and once he is dead, the Witch will be able to reign over Narnia forever.

Aslan's sacrifice almost seems foolish—what is Edmund's life compared to Aslan's? A skeptic would give up all hope now that Aslan is dead. Even believers like Susan and Lucy find it difficult to be optimistic.

Perhaps the only drawback to Lewis's allusion to the Christian legend is that we may realize that Aslan will be resurrected and miss the full effect of Aslan's death. None of the book's characters think that Aslan will come back to life.

Similarly, most readers think that the situation in Narnia is hopeless. Lewis wants us to feel the full weight of despair at the death of Aslan. Lewis wants to recontextualize the story of Christ so that we can truly feel the devastation of Jesus's crucifixion. SparkTeach Teacher's Handbook.
