Narnia

[burntcopper]

The second book written and the third chronologically, you're the story of a Narnia hundreds of years after the last visit, populated by mythological creatures struggling to overthrow a king determined to wipe them out. Susan's Horn brings help when it's most needed ...


Find out which Chronicles of Narnia book you are.

Prince Caspian. I can live with that. All about letting freedoms back in and growing up and revolution and schisms.

Oh, and Narnia? Fucking adore the books. Edmund and Eustace and the kid in the first book? *So* gay. Peter, Susan and Lucy were bi. Though I really and truly want to kick C.S.Lewis up the arse because he's got the mindset that children that grow up (ie, Susan, who wants to get on with her life and gets interested in boys) should be barred from 'heaven'. Excuse the rant. Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawntreader were the best because there's no penalties for them growing up and taking responsibility and knock-on effects of your own actions is encouraged.

Have to agree with you on the Susan bit. Even when I read it at 8 years old I went huh? Well, she cursed anyway. She’s called Susan therefore she has to grow up. Look at Swallows and Amazons Susan, granddaughter of death Susan…Susan’s just a grown-up name.

It’s nice the Christian metaphor didn't kick in till someone explains to me years after I’d read it. All that time I spent jumping over rivers hoping to get to Narnia, when all the time it was a great big ol' METAPHOR river of death. I felt cheated.

Aslan/christ parallel? subtlety of a STICK. Though I still remember reading it when i was little and going 'err.... what the hell is Father Christmas doing in there?' convenient for handing out of weapons, yes, but hmm.

People named Susan end up with weird jobs. And if all the rest of the Pevensey family (parents as well) were on the train, where was Susan? America? Left to mourn the rest?
