I can appreciate the parallel to Christ in Aslan, though I went into the story expecting the entire thing to be an allegory, just from things I've heard. So some things really confused me, like Father Christmas showing up and giving everyone gifts. Or the kids needing to fight against the witch and her army. However, I'm understanding more that the entire book (and series) was not necessarily meant to be an allegory, even while one can certainly draw a Christ-like parallel in Aslan's actions in this book. That does change my perspective on it after the fact.
Now to Edmund...oh, Edmund...he's a bit of a brat, even before he betrays his siblings, but I kinda get it. He's a middle child and struggling to find a place under his big brother. I'm in the same position in my family of 4 kids and definitely remembering struggling sometimes to feel special (though I have all sisters, we did not always get along at all). Of course it seems as though he went too far, though we're supposed to understand he was under some sort of enchantment. His mental reasoning, though, as he prepared to betray his siblings, sounded less like enthrallment and more like sibling rivalry to me. In the end, though, I did like how the entire thing turned out.
As soon as I finished this book, I recommended it to my 10-year-old daughter. I can see similarities in it to books that she has already read and enjoyed, so I think she'll love it. I'm looking forward to hearing her thoughts; it's always fun when we both read and enjoy the same books and then get to talk about them, and I see that being a possibility with this series. ( )
