She'll cut off my tail, saw off my horn, pluck out my

beard, and wave her wand over my beautiful cloven


hooves, turning them into awful solid hooves like a
terrible horse. And if she gets extremely angry, she'll turn
me into stone, and I'll be nothing more than a fawn statue
in her dreadful mansion until the four thrones at Cair
Paravel are filled. In The Lion, the Witch, and the
Wardrobe, for example, Aslan is sacrificed at the stone
table in return for Edmond's life. Susan and Lucy mourn
him and tend to his body, but he suddenly returns from
the dead the next morning.
In the book, Aslan is embarrassed in front of the witch's
followers at the stone table as they shave his mane and
muzzle him, but he does nothing to save himself or harm
the witch. Just as Jesus was screamed at, spit on, and
beaten in front of the entire crowd but never said anything
to them. When the girls were grieving over his death, the
table splintered as a sign of the resurrection. Similarly,
when Mary went to check on Jesus' body in the tomb, she
discovered the stone rolled away and the tomb empty.
