Edmund Pevensie is one of the most popular characters in all of The Chronicles of Narnia. Whether it's his adventures in the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, or even cameos in The Horse and His Boy and The Last Battle (nothing in The Silver Chair or the Magician's Nephew!) Edmund made a lasting impact on C.S. Lewis' magical land. Edmund was literally caught between the two opposing forces of Aslan the Lion and Jadis the White Witch of Narnia, battled the Evil Mraz, was befriended by Mr. Tumnus, Reepicheep and others, and was loved by his siblings Lucy Pevesie, Susan Pevensie, and Peter Pevensie.

It's been a month now and still miss seeing new content 😥 hope you're doing well.
Something that is often overlooked by Americans but the British often notice is the fact that Turkish Delight is a Christmas candy in England. Therefore, I believe that by producing it, the witch broke her spell preventing Christmas from coming.
Yeah good point. In America we overlook it because it’s not really a thing for us here.
Ooh, I like that. The witch's desire to poison and control Edmund was her undoing.
What exactly is Turkish delight?
@@johnfolk1448 Turkish delight or lokum is a family of confections based on a gel of starch and sugar. Premium varieties consist largely of chopped dates, pistachios, hazelnuts or walnuts bound by the gel; traditional varieties are often flavored with rosewater, mastic gum, bergamot orange, or lemon. Wikipedia
Alternative names: Lokum
Main ingredients: Starch, Sugar
Origin: Turkey
Sounds like an old school treat. I'll have to get some for next Christmas. It's amazing it's taken me this long to consider it.
In terms of justice, King Edmund showed mercy on Rabadash in the hopes that "Even a traitor may mend. I have known one who did." This obviously is him referring to his own redemption by the sacrifice of Aslan.
Someone on a video of the coronation scene from the movie pointed out that Edmund's silver crown is decorated with symbols of the birch leaf which apparently at some point symboled redemption. Really do love the attention to detail they put in that movie. He definitely had a full redemption story (which is why I believe Susan will have her own redemption story and will find her own way back to Narnia), even in the difference in his smile - there was something nasty about his smile when he sat on the White Witch's throne but something more genuinely joyful about his smile when he sat on his own throne, great performance from Skander in the trilogy.
While I believe Susan has her own story of redemption, it is not a Narnia story. She was told to seek him out in her own country where he is known by a different name. It must be this way or else we must start to believe salvation comes in the name of Jesus AND Aslan, which is not something C.S. Lewis had in mind.
@@rockandsandapologetics7254 Oh, I think Lewis very much had it in mind, and I don’t view that comparison as being negative at all. The parallels are all there, from the method by which Edmund was redeemed. And Aslan is the son of the Emperor Over The Sea, implying part of the Trinity. Finally, the House of David, from which Jesus descended, has as one of its titles “Lion of the Tribe of Judah”.
Lewis, however, did not consider the series to be analogous in terms of its literary form. Apparently he and Tolkien disagreed about that, but Lewis had written an allegory, “The Pilgrim’s Regress”, if I remember correctly.
Lewis instead labeled this story as a “supposal”. As a child, Lewis had created his own world of sentient and speaking animals. Years later, he and his brother were hosting two children who, like the Pevensies, had been evacuated from London during the war. Lewis told them stories to keep them occupied. That, I think, was the genesis of what became the Chronicles of Narnia.
Lewis recreated his world of sentient animals (and other mythical creatures) and supposed how Jesus would act and intervene in such a world. He wouldn’t have objected if some readers missed the connection; but there’s a lot of Lewis’ theological and philosophical views present in those stories, which are subtly interwoven.
It’s hardly a secret. Lewis and Tolkien were both members of a group of Oxford professors and dons who called themselves The Inklings. They used to meet weekly in a private room in a pub. There they shared their work with each other, and critiqued and discussed each other’s work.
Their literary purpose was to try to revive the ancient literary form of mythology, which is quite a bit deeper than mere fantasy. Myths were stories which, although not literally true, used the story to teach and explore deeper truths. Both Tolkien and Lewis were committed Christians, and it’s inevitable that their faith would guide (sometimes more directly than at other instances) their work, and their creation of their world.
It would have been fascinating to participate with that group, even just to listen.
@@johncronin9540 You are definitely a Lewis fan and I can't begrudge you that. One thing however, When Tolkien and Lewis first met Lewis was an atheist. He had a fascination over death and resurrection myths, so Tolkien challenged him to believe in the true myth, of Jesus dying and rising from the dead as a fact. It was this that drove Lewis to the Lord. As to Susan, her story, if it were to be written, would be in England, not Narnia. Lewis wrote a letter to Lucy (Barfield) at the beginning of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe That beautiful letter to his god daughter puts the Chronicles in context. A fan of Lewis, such as yourself, will love it.
Recently re watched narnia for the first time since a pre teen. I’m now 23, and couldn’t believe the resemblance between Edmund, and my oldest little brother Ritchie. Not only do my brother and the actor look very similar, but the character traits of a misunderstood middle child was extremely realistic.
When my bro was about 13, he started to look at me in a way that completely changed the way I thought about teenagers. He hated me, and I realised that he was right too, because he would always be blamed when our youngest would deliberately piss him off to get a reaction, and nobody would apologise if we found out that the youngest was actually faking it.
So one day I decided to treat him differently, and I decided to do something that most adults would never think about doing with a teenager. I attempted to earn his respect, by treating him with respect first. Wasn’t long before I had such a strong brotherhood with him that I decided to treat most teenagers like this.
Adult tend to demand respect from teens and when they don’t get it, they attempt to talk down to the child, and when they don’t get the reaction they want, all teens are labelled as disrespectful little shits.
Respect is earned, and it was the same with Edmund. He was expected to respect his older brother for no other reason than him being older, so of course he would attempt to rebel
I believe that all teenagers rebel but it’s what you do after you turn 20 that matters
@@nmoney6655 The lad quickly ran through all the immature teenager stages between the ages of 12-14/early 15. But I’m not surprised that come to terms with reality as quickly as he did because the only times he would get into trouble for playing up at school was during classes that he already knew what was being taught. He didn’t revise a bit and came out with 7 as his lowest grade which is the English GCSE equivalent to a straight B, and mostly scored 9.5s, 9s, 8.5s, and 8s. Now I’m older, I have come to love the fact that he’s so superior to me and I’m happy that he’s gonna make something of his life unlike me
@@Jack-hb4dm you said you're 23. That's plenty of time to make something out of life! Also you sound like a real cool brother.
@@n.s.5001 Thanks, they would probably disagree and say I’m a nerd or something but they know they can come to me if they need at least. And I know I can still hit a level of literal success, but the things I would dream about are long gone in terms of opportunities unfortunately
@CycxlyEdits by who?
As someone who was introduced to Narnia through the Disney film, I remember discovering at some point that in the final book they all died in a train collision. This actually broke my heart and shook me a little. These characters, in this Disney film, were going to be hit by a train?! 😅
They weren't hit by a train, the train that they were on crashed
@@daisygirlmochi768 thats... somehow worse
I mean they still go to aslan's world after if i remember correctly and live happily ever after?? Hopefully???
Except Susan, she stopped believing in narnia long time ago so she just lived on with her all siblings dead ..so...yeahhh
You have to understand C S Lewis’ views on life and death. One thing that bothered Lewis, who was deeply affected by the loss of his mother when he was a child-that experience is very much at the back of Digory Kirke, the protagonist with a desperately ill mother in “The Magician’s Nephew”, was the way heaven was commonly depicted in contemporary culture.
Heaven is depicted as being in a cloudy, insubstantial clouds, almost a phantom world, in contrast with the “real, solid, Earth”. To Lewis, it was very much the other way around. Earth is the less real world, and Heaven is much more real and “solid”. Lewis actually referred to Earth as “The Shadowlands”, and REAL life doesn’t begin until we reach Heaven, or Aslan’s Country. That’s why the last chapter of “The Last Battle” is titled, “Farewell to the Shadowlands”.
Lewis was deliberately trying to create a more accurate depiction of what Heaven would really be like, to replace the image of humans sitting on clouds playing harps. If you read Lewis’ “The Great Divorce” about a bus trip from hell to Heaven, which became a round trip for only some of the passengers. Lewis really drives home his view, a Christian view, of Heaven, hell, and the process of redemption.
For the “Friends of Narnia” - some of whom were on the train, while others were at the train station when the derailment happened, that was the moment they died, but obviously their story had only just begun; indeed REAL life itself had only just begun.
One thing about it was that the Friends of Narnia, when discussing just what had happened, didn’t even seem to realize that they had been killed. For Professor Digory Kirke, Aunt Polly, Peter, Edmund, and Lucy, they found themselves in a beautiful field with incredibly tasteful fruit on various trees, and a door which was alone, seemingly going from nowhere to nowhere. The two youngest children, Eustace and Jill, found themselves in Narnia, to help King Tirian, as Narnia was being invaded and overrun. They were reunited with the other Friends of Narnia, as they came through the stable door.
They all had vague memories of a terrible noise, and the train entering the station much too fast, but they still didn’t quite grasp just what had happened. Aslan had to explain to them exactly what had happened. There was no fear, as Lucy pointed out, they couldn’t feel fear even if they tried to. They had left the Shadowlands (Earth, and the Narnia they had experienced, but which had been brought to an end), and found themselves in the much more real Aslan’s Country.
As for Susan, we aren’t told about her ultimate faith, nor is she really heavily criticized, except for vain folly. But her life in the Shadowlands wasn’t over, and certainly her redemption very much could still happen. If anyone doubts that, when Lewis himself was Susan’s age at the end of Last Battle, Lewis was very much an atheist, and yet he underwent a conversion experience, though his faith was sorely tested when his wife died from cancer. So I think his own experiences were part of the reason for leaving Susan’s story unfinished. So there’s always good hope for a joyful reunion.
I realize that this might be cold comfort, but all of the siblings from the Disney films are in their late teens or perhaps even their early twenties by the time of "The Last Battle." Even Eustace and Jill from "The Silver Chair" are most likely in their mid-to-late teens by then since they were both clearly in what the British call public schools (private boarding schools) by the time of "The Silver Chair". They would both have been at least twelve years old at the time of "The Silver Chair" (since they knew each other for a year before that) and "The Last Battle" most likely takes place at least a couple of years after that.
Somehow never realized this before. The rings were left in the train station. So access to the wood between the worlds is out there still. Someone probably has them. Hopefully someone more responsible than Uncle Andrew.
It’s possible that the rings were destroyed in the collision since I think Aslan wouldn’t allow them to continue to be used by anyone
@@wolfman2.055 It's referenced in the Magician's Nephew that Aslan when the rings were buried,did so so that no-one would ever use them again.
5:40 "She revealed that he was a traitor and her lawful prey according to the rules of the Deep Ma-"
Do not site the Deep Magic to me, Witch!
"I was there when it was written."
“…though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time.”
@@danielgaul284 Epic
@@danielgaul284 That's why I 💜 Narnia so much...It goes beyond the pages and mysteries of life itself.
The original artwork is nothing shy of “amazing”, Stewart. You really knew how to take a small, but amazing channel, and make it something that will outlive all who view it, today.
I'm so grateful for your encouragement, William!
One of the odd, endearing things about Lewis’ Narnia books to me is how he tells his story. For example, Lewis spends more time describing the food in his stories than he does the battles. Not that he ignores heroic deeds; but his descriptions of combat are concise and fairly perfunctory for a fantasy story, but his descriptions of the food (and smells in general) are clearly more full of joy and detail. ✌️
I never thought of that before!
When the books were written, strict food rationing was still a very recent memory and a freely available variety of plentiful food would have added a sense of magic.
I have been waiting for you to do Edmund Pevensie for a long time now and it was well worth the wait. He is my favorite character of the entire series, and I never tire hearing his story. His life is a great inspiration for me, and it completely changed my outlook on myself when I realized the true value of his redemption. This is by far my favorite video you have done so far and I eagerly wait for more! Well done!
As I’ve grown older, the more I’ve realized that Edmund is the Narnia character I relate to the most
Something not mentioned that helps draw the connection to the TRUE Naria being correlated to heaven, is when the Pevensies look with their eyes from Naria and can see the TRUE England with their parents standing and waving at them. This happens right before Aslan confirms their suspicions and tells them they have left the shadow lands behind them, thus they did move into His world forever. "Further up! Further in!"
Great comment! I learnt so much about the nature of Heaven through reading "The Last Battle" after becoming a Christian. In his inimitable way, C.S. Lewis was able to convey the nature of Eternity and present it to us simply, through the eyes of Lucy, my favourite character, who was always the closest to Aslan. "Courage, dear heart" were words spoken only to her.
This truly gave me chills. Narnia is so beautiful to me, always.
Not a bad overview, but contains a couple of inaccuracies:
1) in THE BOOK, Caspian does not make the final trip to the end of the world - he stays behind. He wants to come, but the crew, the Pevensies, and ultimately Aslan forbade him. This was one of the points where Edmund exercised his rightful authority as king, and not one of Caspian's subjects.
2) There's no indication in /Horse/ that Edmund and Susan were in Tashbaan to sign a treaty. Rabadash has come to Cair Paravel, probably in pursuit of Susan, and they were paying a return visit. Had there been a marriage, it would have been effectively a treaty, but none is mentioned in the text.
Thanks for the corrections! Pinned!
Why does Aslan forbid Caspian from joining the others?
@@kbee8517 Because it would be abandoning his post. His professed intent is to go beyond the end of the world to see Aslan's country, which would leave Narnia without a king. Reepicheep is permitted, because it's his vocation, and the Pevensies and Eustace are, because it'll be the occasion of their return to our world, but Caspian has duties. It's quite well told in the book, and an excellent exposition by Lewis on the importance of duty over simply following our impulses.
@@rbfthomas1 That's interesting; while I never finished reading the books, I guess I assumed Narnia kind of just turned into an expanded version of Aslan's country, but it makes sense that Caspian would be urged to go back and remain as ruler.
I'm not sure if you meant in Prince Caspian or The Last Battle, though this is one of the book series that I believe truly has an authentic 'happy ending' that for many of faith is realistic.
@@kbee8517 in The Last Battle, the Pevensies are brought to the REAL Narnia, which is indeed an extension of Aslan’s country; the temporal Narnia that we see through most of the series is merely its pale reflection (as the present Earth will be a dim reflection of the new eternal Earth that will come after the Tribulation)
Good ol' Edmund, he definitely has the fullest character arc of the Pevensie kids
Very interesting insight about Edmund. He is perhaps the most complex character in the series. He goes from betraying his family to a selfless hero showing justice. There is a moment in Voyage of the Dawn Treader where he and Caspian argue about who should be the most powerful at the gold pond, showing he still has a want to do wrong inside (think "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", only light-hearted). It what makes a character relatable.
I am happy to hear about a home school curriculum on the Narnia series. I was a homeschooler myself, and a lot of parents are actually homeschooling their kids. It's mainly because, well, I'm sure you're aware of what public schools want to educate kids in nowadays.. stuff about gender, which is so out-there. But why teach something like that, especially at a young age?
They were probably arguing due to some “enchantment” because at that time, what Caspian said didn’t make sense at all. It proved that they were both some how enchanted.
Of course you had to go from discussing the beautiful world that Lewis created to bigotry towards people trying to live their lives in a way that makes them happy. You’d think reading books as wonderful as the Narnia books would make people want to expand their minds and understanding of the world, not close off to it
Have you read "That Hideous Strength?" It provides some excellent insight into what Lewis would think about the prevailing ideologies of today's culture.
Just discovered this channel a few weeks ago and I’ve already watched almost all the videos. Well done!
Please consider doing a video about “the emperor over the sea” and his role in Narnia and maybe where his intervention happened in Narnian history. Thanks 🙏
I swear Into The Wardrobe brings me into a world that makes me believe there is a promise paradise land! Thank youuu 🙏💛
I love it!! I love how you go in depth with Edmund's character, going into the darkness and coming to the light to become the man that he was ment to be. Excellent work and brilliant video!!👑🦁❤
Perfect timing, I just watched the Lion, the Witch and the wardrobe theater show in London West end yesterday.
Would love to see it sometime. I'm sure it was great.
Who was the author of the play? I performed the role of Mr. Beaver in a version written by Joseph Robinette some time ago.
@@GilmoreDon I'm not entirely sure. The program says based on the origional production by Sally Cookson, and directed by Michael Fentiman.
If your intredten in more information it was run by the Gillian Lynne theater. I'm sure their website would list more information.
Sorry I'm not more help
Another great video! I found Edmund to be one of the more interesting characters, especially because of his conversion once he was released from the witch's hold. The art work was beautiful.
Thank you! I've been using a new workflow to make some of the artwork and I'm really liking the results.
Edmund is much more handsome ❤️
As a catholic, thank you for advertising for the memoria press
The Watchman River channel’s newest vid brought me here.
Superb study. In fact definitive. Well done, Stuart and the team.
I have been watching these videos for a while now and I love them! The Narnia world got me through a very bad time in my life and I love to revisit it when I can. The art is beautiful. I did notice that you made a small mistake that you've made in a different video...You mentioned that Edmund, Lucy, Eustace, Reepicheep, and Caspian went to the edge of Aslan's country together at the end of "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" but while Caspian was there in the movies, in the book Aslan appeared to him in the captain's cabin and made Caspian stay back due to him wanting to go to Aslan's country instead of keeping his promises to go back to Ramandue's daughter and back to Narnia. But of course just a small mistake. I loved this video Edmund is definitely one of my favorite characters.
I really love your comprehensive telling of his life, also love seeing you showing yourself explaining as well!
18:03 in The Last Battle, Tirian was no longer Prince, but rather the last King of Narnia
The crazy part is I must have heard that line 20x while editing and still missed it!
@@IntotheWardrobe Isn't it wonderful that however long one has been reading the books, and however familiar one thinks one is, there is always something new to learn from them! On the surface, such simple, slim little volumes, but each one contains so much depth and wealth.
I LOVE your videos! The Chronicles of Narnia are a huge part of my childhood, so it's so great to see videos on the series' lore
Edmund is my favorite character. I started reading the books before the Disney movie came out. Even before I seen Edmonds actor and he always my favorite character but when they showed his actor I was like I guess Skandar Keynes is going to be my favorite actor from the movie. I am still a big fan of Skandar Keynes even Today. It's nice to see if there's other adult Narnia fans out there.
I ❤️ Skander Keynes 😍❤️❤️❤️🤴👑
You did an amazing job, as always, Stuart! The video turned out great and I really enjoyed watching it🤍
Edmund Pevensie - farewell to the mortal Shadowlands. The penultimate paragraph from CS Lewis' posthumous Letters to Malcolm sums it all up. Please check it out.
The pronouncement, "Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia," gives us the knowledge that Susan too, though not now a Friend of Narnia, will indeed return to Aslan's country some day.
Can we get a petition started to get a high quality animated chronicles of Narnia? Live action is great and all but actors age and limits the story. A proper animated series could do the books all the justice it deserves
Why not a Kickstarter?
The rights alone for the books cost Netflix 9 figures, so I don't think a Kickstarter would get the job done! Crazy that they are just sitting on this investment, right?
@@IntotheWardrobe Plan B: When does Narnia enter Public Domain?
2045!

MY FAVORITE CHARACTER
I have long enjoyed Edmund as a character, though always more in the later books, as the eldest brother, I often recognize a fair number of "Peterish" traits toward my younger brothers. It is good to see him getting a treatment here.
I also visited your sponsor's website and was greatly intrigued. I may pass the information on to my mother who is homeschooling my six year old sister and might appreciate the curriculum, though my sister might not. I might also shoe it to my youngest brother as my three year old niece will soon be of an age to benefit from the material as well.
That is not to say that I am not tempted to study them for myself, if for no other reason than an interest in learning Latin and Greek for myself. I have long held a passion for the intellectual aspects of life.
This is the most concise summation ever!
Love these videos
Its super amazing what you do. You put all the efforts and hardwork to make these videos for all the narnian lovers. Thankyou so much!
Cannot believe I missed the last 2 episodes because CZcams disabled notifications thank you CZcams. Finally catching up amazing video definitely enjoying your face in the videos more often aswell.
I personally sympathize with Edmund cause he’s not a bad kid he’s just misguided
He's not evil as the witch is, just misunderstood
As are we all
I enjoy the way in the movies they had the White Witch sort of haunting Edmund throughout the series. Though we may be forgiven, it can be hard to let go of the memories of our mistakes sometimes. Thank you for another video!
Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you, friends. ✝️ :)
White Witch represents Edmund as his demon trying to make him go down the wrong path again. Edmund is strong and make sure he won’t be tempted by white witch dead or not.
That was excellent because I actually never knew what happened to Edmund in the end and I’m a huge fan of the Chronicles of Narnia because I’ve actually listened to the books in audio because I’m visually impaired and at the time I was listening to all of my books in audio before I started reading braille
Great job, as always! Happy Anniversary! 🤗
Your videos disappeared from my feed for a few months (I wasn’t subscribed before - I fixed that). This video was such a breath of fresh air amongst all the videos of the Rings of Power mess I’ve been seeing.
Edmund is all of us
It should also be noted that King Edmund was renown as the finest swordsman in Narnia during his time. He was also regarded as one of Narnia's best generals. While Peter was more the strategist, Edmund was the better battlefield commander.
I'm reading Prince Caspian for a school project, and these videos really help me learn about it! Thanks! :)
I noticed something with how Lewis wrote the Pevensie children: Edmund, Lucy & Peter all died in Narnia, while Susan still lived in our world. That may be an allegory to the Biblical description of how men will either be destroyed, or taken up to Heaven during the Rapture, if they don't repent
True...except the ones who Repent will be taken up to heaven in the rapture, but the ones who don't will stay on earth in the tribulation...
I never thought about that relating to Narnia...good thinking!
"The Problem of Susan". Imagine how she must have felt - her entire family dead in one tragic minute. Siblings, parents, cousins, honorary grandparents. Left alone with multiple funerals to plan and pay for, at least two full estates to settle (and possibly three, depending on what Peter has for an estate), including the big country house of Professor Kirke. I would like to think that she gets over her willful blindness and lets Aslan back into her heart after all of that.
@@karladenton5034 try the eighth Narnia book The Centaur's Cavern ( not of course written by Lewis )
@@jonathanbrewer7072 All I've ever been able to find online of that is a photograph of the first page. If you know of anywhere to read the entire thing do tell.
Technically, the three faithful Pevensies all died in England, but went to the real Narnia. To my knowledge, none of the Friends of Narnia died there (unless you count passage through the stable door as Eustace and Jill did before King Tirian)
Nice, I've been waiting for this!!
Great story to learn from! I love the character lore videos and would love to see more of them.
Great video. Edmund has always been my favorite character. I read the books after a teacher recommended them to me.
I believe that Edmund suffered some form of PTSD in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader because he kept seeing the Witch and getting tempted to sin again
I am homeschooled... One of the greatest choices my parents ever made for me

Hi dad!! This is G, great video btw
Video suggestion - what reason might Coriakin have been punished for? And why would Aslan refuse to elaborate on it?
Your beautiful video came up in my feed today. New subscriber! I first encountered Narnia when I was nine years old and read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," and have been hooked ever since. I shall be 70 next month. During my teen years I used to read the books discreetly wrapped in brown paper because I was embarrassed to be reading "fairy stories" in front of my friends!!! The wrappers were only temporary, though. Last year for my birthday my hubby bought me a beautiful box set of all the books in hardback that he found for me on Ebay. While the covers have different designs, the books themselves contain Pauline Baynes' original illustrations which I have loved all my life.
What I love about the Narnia Chronicles is that the genius of C.S. Lewis allows us to read the books at so many different levels. As a small child, they were magical fairy tales. As I grew, I understood more about character development and transformation, and ripping yarns of adventure and valour. After becoming a Christian nearly 40 years ago they took on their much deeper meaning and I could see the golden thread of redemption and sacrifice throughout.
I was very intrigued a few years ago to learn of the discovery by Dr. Michael Ward of "The Narnia Code" - finally unlocking C.S. Lewis' secret underpinning the books. My hubby bought me the book and I immediately re-read the Chronicles and was able to follow the theme, gaining more fresh insights into these remarkable books.
C.S. Lewis has left such a rich legacy to the world with "The Chronicles of Narnia," and his other books, both fiction and non-fiction. The world would be a poorer place without his great contribution, for which I shall always be grateful.
I look forward to exploring your channel. Thank you for all the work you have done.

The assault on Sauron’s fortress Tol-in-Gaurhoth by Lúthien and Huan is one of the most epic things to happen in all of middle earth. Sauron shapeshifting into different creatures throughout, and then fleeing as a bat, aaagghhh I want to see that on screen SO BAD!
I was wondering when we'd get to Edmund, since he's one of the most important characters in the first book. Which friend of Narnia are we talking about next, Peter, Eustace, Jill, Polly, Diggory? Or are we meeting a villain? Or are we talking about another aspect of the Narnian world?
It’s so weird how this popped up in my recommends after rewatching the movies and reading fanfics
I watched the movie yesterday ( Saturday) very weird indeed
Silly question, perhaps, but during that daring escape from Tashbaan in "The Horse and HIs Boy", why did Susan and Edmond speak in Elizabethan English? "It was naught, playmate, very naught of thee to use us so."
Not a silly question--a great observation! One thing I'll note is that the minds of the Pevensie Royals changed as a result of their years in Narnia. Not only did they physically mature, but their memories of modern England also faded--so much that after 15 years they only vaguely remembered the lamp post in Lantern Waste. Along with forgetting the modern world, they have also forgotten modern English! When they return to Earth 15 Narnian years later, not only have their bodies reverted to their Earth-time form, but their minds have as well. Fortunately they didn't forget about their time in Narnia. But this is as designed--for Aslan brouhht them to Narnia so that they could learn to know him by another name in our world.
As an American who grew up in a foreign country, I can attest that spending long periods of time in a place can affect your accent immensely. I know people who cringe at how much their own accents have changed over the decades.
I’m wondering whether a vid about Peter will ever be made
It is pleasant to listen to you
Good overview
Would you be willing to make a video that explains the geography/different countries in Narnia?
If ever there's a Netflix version of the Chronicles of Narnia, one theme to explore would be Turkish Delight. How does Jadis know about Turkish Delight? Maybe she encountered it in 1900 London with Uncle Andrew? Could be interesting flashback scene in order to show her knowledge of humans and our world and would serve as an appetizer for the future Magician's Nephew if the Chronicles of Narnia are broadcast in the original publication order!
Dear Narnian Thank you very much for your great work in this vast universe of Narnia (yes for me it is like that) and I would like you to make a video about everything related to Underland, Bism everything related to the deep kingdom in the Silver Chair all this is a bit confusing, Thank you very much Blessings.
sad to know Edmund and the Pevensies died on a train crash. So it is the reason we havent seen another movie after Voyage of Traider.
can you do a video on emeth? I've searched for videos talking about him and was surprised that no one on youtube seems to be talking about him and are usually about tash instead
Closest thing Narnia has to a Loki. Nothing like him but also kind of like him.
YEAH! KING EDMUND THE JUST! WOOHOO!
hello
i just watched the lion, the witch and the wardrobe movie
and i realized that the house owner is the prrotagonist of the magician´s nephew because of how he looked to the boys
and now im researching about narnia worldbuilding
I just rewatched the movie not that long ago. I still wanna see a movie on that.
Anyone else noticed how anti-school Lewis really is? I never did until Dominic Noble pointed it out.
To a child correspondent he wrote his school days were worse than being out at the Front.
Bingo. It's amazing how much Lewis' childhood left a lasting mark on his psyche and influenced his writing....look for more on this in the next video!
@@IntotheWardrobe The whole of the Narnian books are peppered with hard judgments and criticisms of certain types of schooling ( as indeed is his spiritual autobiography Surprised by Joy ). Worth also reading the published Letters where he pleads with his Father back in Ireland to let him leave these ' Belsen camps' of so called educational institutions. Powerful reading and evidently effected him throughout his life before he left us for Aslan's country.
Boarding schools are rough man, I wouldn't blame him for feeling that way. Ideally, school should be a place where kids can still be kids and where learning for the sake of learning is nurtured instead of focusing on mass producing disposable workers for the upper class.
@@IntotheWardrobe The whole of the Narnian books are full of criticism of certain educational institutions. We must remember on the death of his Mother ( 1908 ) Albert sent his youngest son across the English channel to horrendous schools. Presumably there is no child psychologist would see this as beneficia,l and from available evidence, it's clear it did irreparable damage. Unresolved grief issues effected him through out life.If memory serves me correctly, in one revealing letter to his Father he hinted at suicide. Some , like Dr David Holbrook, argue he subconsciously sought his dead Mother until his dying day. Private education under Kirkpatrick was a saviour. He paid tribute to this remarkable teacher in the shape of Professor Kirke in LWW, MN and LB. On a more delicate topic, the corporale punishment effected his pycho sexual development. ( Again we find evidence in the Narnian books).
I'm looking forward to this study by Stuart and the team. By understanding Lewis'education , we better understand the man. An analysis of those all important formative years is important and analysis of educational institutions within those children's books are a valuable happy hunting ground.
Edmunds my favorite. He was the black sheep of the family .
Looking forward to see what you do with “The Life & Death of Peter”.
