[@simoncooper6752]

I always find it remarkable that C.S. Lewis created the Narnia series in such a way that it's accessible to readers of any age, and yet so full of depth that whole books could be written, and yet, the Narnia series wouldn't even have existed without his conversion and his friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien.

[@monitor-mindtheover-void6712]

Tolkien was a once in a life time writer.

[@Shad0hawK]

Conversely Tolkein has said that without Lewis, there would not have been the LOTR, they both helped and encouraged each other

[@monitor-mindtheover-void6712]

@@Shad0hawK yes that's true both helped each other, but here's the difference, there would've been a Middle Earth without CS but it wouldn't have been the same since Tolkien was writing it way before even his lay of leithien was published, on the other hand there wouldn't have been a Narnia anyway if Tolkien wasn't there, because Narnia is a parallel fiction to Bible.

That last image of Aslan *chefs kiss*! I just love that CS Lewis chose the OT symbol of the Lion of Judah to represent God. Well said the story of Narnia is his story; this is core to the christian History of Salvation. I would like to know more though about the Wood between the Worlds and queen Jadis' world. Edit: never mind, just subbed and found your other videos.

[@justinnyugen7015]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the fate of the Pevinsies, and what Lewis could've written for Susan of Narnia

[@LadyAleena]

Lewis was a misogynist. He vilified Susan just because she matured. Hell, he'd roll in his grave at what the film adaptation did because Caspian would NEVER kiss a woman he'd not then marry. As soon as a little girl started maturing, she'd lose her innocence? Susan was trashed by Lewis, and that is a stain to the series.

[@justinnyugen7015]

​@@LadyAleenaThat in itself might be a topic worth exploring nonetheless. We could get more insight on the type of man CS Lewis was outside of his books. Meanwhile, while Susan might not be a "friend of Narnia", but maybe she had another journey elsewhere to Aslan's country (seeing as how Narnia was terminated...as was her entire family). Maybe she'd struggle with the deaths in the proposed sequel. Maybe in the very "traditional" way, she was supposed to be redeemed through her own children, who would be the ones adventuring.

[@hamzapetridis206]

@@justinnyugen7015 I think it’s pretty much obvious that she goes to hell at the end of the series…

[@IntotheWardrobe]

@Lady Aleena Yet Lucy, Polly, Aravis and many more women were known as friends of Aslan. In fact I'd say throughout the series there were more women honored than villified. The issue with Susan's turning wasn't her female interests specifically, it was what had happened to her heart and mind as she matured. This single passage in a 7 volume series aside, is there anything in the entirety of Lewis' works that shows him to hate women?

[@IntotheWardrobe]

@Hamza Petridis Not so. Lewis himself said she may have found her way back later on.

[@ed056]

There is also a deeper set of ages that you touch on. The number three stands for the Trinity. There are three ages in which Aslan directly intervenes: The Expansion - when He creates (The Father) Golden - He sacrifices himself (The Son) Later - when He fulfills the promise of Narnia (The Spirit)

[@brandonluker3660]

But didn't Aslan intervene at the End of Prince Caspian during the Dark age?

[@nmoney6655]

[@amartin2183]

I JUST REALIZED ABOUT THE GOLDEN AGE.... Christ left the church in hands of his disciple Simon, who had his name changed to PETRUS or PETER in English.... damn I never realized till now🙈

[@blackflagsnroses6013]

Yeah, iirc Peter was the Aramaic/Hebrew word for rock. Jesus told Simon he would be the rock upon which he shall build his assembly/Church, after Simon was the first to recognize Jesus as the living Son of God. Just as Aslan left Narnia to Peter.

[@ed056]

​@@blackflagsnroses6013 Going deeper Edmund showed us what would have happened had Judas repented. Lucy (Mary?) and Susan are the Women at the Cross and the Tomb.

[@daughter_of_eve04]

There's even more to it. When Jesus calls Simon 'Peter', the Rock, He also says that Peter will have the keys of the Kingdom of heaven. In The last Battle, Peter gets a golden key from Aslan to shut the door of the Stable, and in that way shut the door of Narnia.

[@Kap4209]

I would like to hear more about Uncle Andrew and his entire life. In my opinion we don't hear enough about him in the books :D

[@calebblevins9664]

I agree. Uncle Andrew does say in The Magician’s Nephew that he had to meet very strange people and go through some strange events to learn more about magic. Also did you know that C.S Lewis based the character of Prof. Kirke off of his friend and fellow author J.R.R Tolkien?

As you talked about the age of exploration I wondered which of the islands may have been an image of America. Then I remembered the island (can’t remember the name) which had slaves. I wonder if that was just coincidence. If it wasn’t, I wonder what else that island may have had in common with America.

Tolkien and Lewis were prominent Christian’s. Their letters to each other are pretty fun to read, and both had a positive influence on each other. Both traded writings and such from their respective stories for criticism, and held their own literary/writing club. I’m more a Tolkien fan. Lewis wrote some allegorical stuff to Christianity in Narnia (Aslan *is* Christ), though Tolkien applied Christ-like characteristics to various characters. As a side note, I read Narnia as a child, and haven’t dove back into any of it sense. I love these lore dedicated channels, and though I know almost nothing of Narnia now, these videos are interesting and very well done. Thanks for what you do!

Narnia is similar to Bible, it has simple, linear and easy remember timeline and stories, on the other hand, ME has longer, more detailed and less bible resembling stories and its harder to remember because of all the new languages Tolkien made for his world. But I think that's why I love them both.

[@shastasilverchairsg]

There's this comparison drawn between the more immediately personal/intimate nature of CS Lewis's Protestant faith vs Tolkien's more elaborate/ornamental/sacramental Catholic faith, which is reflected in their different approaches to worldbuilding. Also, Narnia is for kids while LOTR is for adults, which contributes to the differences too.

[@monitor-mindtheover-void6712]

@@shastasilverchairsg I think both can be read by Kids and Adults, but again it comes back their way of their writing, even Hobbit by Tolkien is not totally a kids book, he wrote his stories to become relevant to whatever age group reads it, like when I read Lotr for the first time it was an epic action adventure story for me, but after 15-16 years I see the depth of the stories and it means totally different to me now.

I'd like to know more about the Humans of Narnia. I struggle to believe that all the Humans of Narnia, Archenland and Calormen are descended from King Frank and Queen Helen. For one, they'd have to be highly inbred to retain their humanity, and second, since Frank and Helen's children married Naiads and Dryads and River Gods, their grandchildren would only be half human, so even a bunch of cousin marriages could only produce a race of people who were at most half human. There must have been other humans coming through, in similar fashion to the Telmarines? I'd also like to hear your thoughts on the seven books of the Narniad being based on the seven planets of Medieval cosmology.

[@IntotheWardrobe]

Great questions!!!

[@Alexs.2599]

There had to have been other humans who stumbled into Narnia after the events in Magician's Nephew. Yeah because like you said it's impossible that all the Humans in Narnia, Archenland and Calormene were directly descended from King Frank and Queen Helen. They were the only two Humans in Narnia after Digory, Polly and Uncle Andrew were sent back to our world. Their children married and their grandchildren married and so forth. So there were other humans existing in Narnia before the Telmarines' pirate ancestors entered into the continent of Narnia. Aslan did mention that there were numerous portals into the Narnia world.

@@Alexs.2599 yeah but remember that Tunmus himself said that it’s at least 1,000 years since they seen humans in Narnia

[@Alexs.2599]

@@nmoney6655 He did yes. It's an interesting thought though.

It’s also possible (though I’ll admit unlikely) that Aslan purified Frank’s & Helen’s genomes so that Narnia started with a clean slate like that of Adam & Eve. It wasn’t until well after the flood that sibling marriage became unwise (Abraham & Sarah).

Our pastor did a sermon about "The Beauty of Spring", about renewal and rebirth. It kind of connects with the Narnia story there. When you read the series, the corruption brought to Narnia in The Magician's Nephew and renewal in The Last Battle has the picture of the corruption brought to Earth in Genesis and how God will make it new again in Revelation. Narnia has the story of redemption plan made by Aslan, much like Scripture has a story of God's redemption plan.
