In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, Lewis emphasizes the three points of philosophy, themes, and symbolism throughout his writing. Lewis was a strong Christian man and wanted children to see and understand all the stories of the Bible. Therefore, he incorporated Christian elements into his books, but also with fantasy characters. Especially in this story, Lewis conveys the differences between good and evil. Aslan is represented as Christ just as the White Witch represents the sense of evil. Lewis wrote several books in this Narnia series, but The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe became the most famous and recognized of his novels. CS Lewis became one of the most important Christian writers in contemporary British society, not only because of his devotion to Christ, but also because his stories were so exceptional (Hitchens). Lewis wrote both fantasy and Christian books, both connected to each other in their own ways. He used Christian elements to write fantasy stories and vice versa (Langford). When he began writing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, he placed the story with four children who had to leave their home during the air raids (Hannay). In the first chapter, the book tells us: “This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air raids. They were sent to the house of an old professor who lived in the heart of the country, ten miles from the nearest post office. He had no wife and lived in a very large house with a housekeeper called Mrs. Macready and three servants” (Lewis 1). When the real adventure begins, one of the four children has entered the wardrobe doors while playing hide and seek with his brother...... middle of paper ......oit: Gale, 2005.
