Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963) was a British
writer and lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at
both Oxford University (Magdalen College, 1925–1954) and Cambridge
University (Magdalene College, 1954–1963). He is best known for his works of
fiction, especially The Screw tape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The
Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere
Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.

Lewis and fellow novelist J. R. R. Tolkien were close friends. They both served on
the English faculty at Oxford University and were active in the informal Oxford
literary group known as the Inklings.[1] According to Lewis's memoir Surprised
by Joy, he was baptised in the Church of Ireland, but fell away from his faith
during adolescence. Lewis returned to Anglicanism at the age of 32, owing to
the influence of Tolkien and other friends, and he became an "ordinary layman
of the Church of England".[2] Lewis's faith profoundly affected his work, and his
wartime radio broadcasts on the subject of Christianity brought him wide
acclaim.
Lewis wrote more than 30 books[3] which have been translated into more than
30 languages and have sold millions of copies. The books that make up The
Chronicles of Narnia have sold the most and have been popularised on stage,

TV, radio, and cinema. His philosophical writings are widely cited by Christian
apologists from many denominations.

In 1956, Lewis married American writer Joy Davidman; she died of cancer four
years later at the age of 45. Lewis died on 22 November 1963 from kidney
failure, one week before his 65th birthday. In 2013, on the 50th anniversary of
his death, Lewis was honoured with a memorial in Poets' Corner in Westminster
Abbey.

Answer the following question

1. What was the story about?

The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of fantasy novels by British author C. S.

Lewis. Written by Lewis, illustrated by Pauline Baynes, and originally published
in London between 1950 and 1956, The Chronicles of Narnia has been adapted
for radio, television, the stage, and film. The series is set in the fictional realm of
Narnia, a fantasy world of magic, mythical beasts, and talking animals. It
narrates the adventures of various children who play central roles in the
unfolding history of the Narnian world. Except in The Horse and His Boy, the
protagonists are all children from the real world who are magically transported
to Narnia, where they are sometimes called upon by the lion Aslan to protect
Narnia from evil. The books span the entire history of Narnia, from its creation
in The Magician's Nephew to its eventual destruction in The Last Battle.

2.Who were the main character?

Aslan - The king and god of Narnia. The noble lion sacrifices his life so that the
Witch will spare Edmund. After being resurrected the next morning, Aslan rises
and defeats the White Witch once and for all. In the context of the book's
Christian allegory, Aslan represents Christ.
The White Witch - This evil queen of Narnia places a spell on the land so that it
is winter and never Christmas. The Witch is the "Emperor's hangman," as Mr.
Beaver says, and she has the right to kill any Narnian traitor. She wields a wand
that turns creatures and people to stone. The wand also produces the Turkish
Delight that enslaves Edmund and makes him greedy. The Witch kills Aslan, and
it is only after he rises from the dead that he defeats her. Like any malicious
character, the Witch, an embodiment of evil, could represent Satan, or she may
be a servant of Satan. "She calls herself the Queen of Narnia thought she has no
right to be queen at all, and all the Fauns and Dryands and Naiads and Dwarfs
and Animals—at least all the good ones—simply hate her.

courageous. He matures into a young man during his first few days in Narnia. He
immediately proves himself after protecting Susan from a ferocious wolf. Aslan
knights him, and eventually crowns him the High King of Narnia. During his reign
he is known as King Peter the Magnificent.

Susan Pevensie - The second oldest of the Pevensie children, Susan is the
beauty among the Pevensies. She is sweet and kind, and perhaps a little bland.
Santa Claus gives her a horn to blow if she ever finds herself in a dangerous
situation. When she becomes queen at Cair Paravel, she is known as Queen
Susan the Gentle.

Edmund Pevensie - The third oldest Pevensie child, Edmund is a brat for most
of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Edmund is spiteful and mean, and
likes to tease his sister, Lucy. His greed for the enchanted Turkish Delight leads
him to act as a traitor against his siblings. Edmund joins forces with the White
Witch, but eventually sees the error of his ways and returns to the good side.

Lucy Pevensie - The youngest Pevensie is cheerful, kind, and brave. This
curious, happy-go-lucky girl is the first of the children to venture into Narnia.
Later, she urges her siblings to search for her friend, Tumnus, when they find
that the faun's home is ransacked. In the beginning, she is the protagonist,
although Aslan fills that role later in the novel. We view much of the action
through her optimistic eyes, as a foil to the skeptical eyes as Edmund. Santa
Claus gives Lucy a cordial, which she uses to heal the wounded following the
battle with the Witch's troops. She is known as Queen Lucy the Valiant.

Tumnus - Lucy meets Tumnus, a faun, on her first excursion into Narnia. He
initially intends to kidnap her and bring her to the White Witch. Tumnus does
not go through with it, and he spares her life. For his crime, the Witch ransacks
his home and petrifies him. Later, Aslan rescues Tumnus from the spell. Kind,
sensitive, and caring, Tumnus and Lucy become fast friends once it is settled
that he is not going capture her. He also makes a mean cup of tea.

Professor Kirke - Professor Kirke is a slightly eccentric, elderly professor. He

takes care of the Pevensie children so they can escape the air raids in London
during World War II. Wise and open-minded, he helps Peter and Susan
understand that Narnia may indeed exist.

Mr. Beaver - Mr. Beaver is Tumnus's friend, and he aids the Pevensie children in
the search for the petrified faun. Mr. Beaver introduces the Pevensies to Santa
Claus and ultimately brings them to the Stone Table and Aslan

Mrs. Beaver - She is Mr. Beaver's wife. Mrs. Beaver is kindly, good-natured,
motherly, and a good cook.

Dwarf - The dwarf is one of the Witch's evil henchman and is her right-hand
man.

Maugrim - Maugrim is a wolf and the chief of the Witch's Secret Police. Peter
murders the evil wolf after Maugrim chases Susan up a tree.

Father Christmas - Father Christmas is also known as Santa Claus and he makes
a cameo appearance in the land of Narnia. He explains that Christmas has
arrived in Narnia and as a gift, gives special tools to each of children.

Emperor-Over-The-Sea - We never meet him, but he is Aslan's father and the

ultimate God of Narnia. He is the Father, while Aslan is the Son, in the Christian
trinity. There does not seem to be a clear Holy Spirit in Narnia.

3. Where the characters credible?

Aslan is first introduced when Mr. Beaver tells the Pevensie children (Peter,
Susan, Edmund, and Lucy) about him. Mr. Beaver explains that Aslan is the true
king of Narnia and that the children (as Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve) are
the chosen ones to help end the tyrannical rule of the White Witch. When the
Witch claims the right to execute Edmund for treason, Aslan offers himself in
Edmund's place, and the Witch kills him on the Stone Table. However, Aslan
rises from the dead, frees the prisoners that the Witch had turned to stone, kills
the Witch in battle, and crowns the Pevensie children as Kings and Queens of
Narnia.

4. what did the main character s do in the story?

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is filled with rich characters, and that is
an amazing thing considering how short the book is. I would say that Peter,
Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are the four main characters. These four children are
brothers and sisters, and the story revolves around their adventures and
conflicts in the magical land of Narnia. Along the way, they meet all kinds of
various characters that help them. However, Aslan stands out as much more
central and pivotal to the story than any other Narnian. Aslan is a lion, and he is
the king of Narnia. At one point in the story, he sacrifices himself to the White
Witch in order to rescue Edmund from her. The White Witch is the final major
character in the story. When the story begins, she is ruling Narnia. She is quite
evil, but she convinces Edmund that he should work for her.

As for the minor characters, I would say the most important are Mr. Tumnus,
Mr. Beaver, and Mrs. Beaver. All three of these characters have pivotal impacts
on the story. However, their characters are not as well developed as the major
characters. The giant Rumblebuffin is a favorite minor character of many due to
his kind and gentle manners. Maugrim is the White Witch's head soldier, and
she also employs a dwarf whose name we never learn to drive her sleigh.
Finally, the Professor is a minor character of some importance because he is the
owner of the house and wardrobe where the children are staying. He is also the
person that convinces Peter and Susan that Lucy might not be lying.
