The Life and Death of Lucy Pevensie | Narnia Lore | Into the Wardrobe

- čas přidán 31. 03. 2022
- In the Chronicles of Narnia, one of the most beloved characters is Lucy Pevensie, or Queen Lucy the Valiant. Today we'll examine the timeline of Lucy's life and the history of her time in the world of Narnia. Ever since she stumbled through the Wardrobe in C.S. Lewis' famous book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, she's been on adventure after adventure. Along with her siblings Peter, Edmund, and Susan, her friends Tumnus, Caspian, Reepicheep, Mr. Beaver and others, she's battled many enemies including Jadis the White Witch, Mraz, and even Tash. She also shares a special bond with the other seven friends of Narnia, including Eustace Scrubb, Polly Plummer and Digory Kirke. Perhaps Lucy's most treasured quality is her own deep friendship with the creator of Narnia himself, Aslan the Lion.

Please make a video on Aslan's country
what do you think of susan rejection of narnia and do you think might go to aslan country if the tried to belive
The black horseman`s ride is ramping up, prices for gas are through the roof now prepare
Have you done, or are you going to do, life and death other characters, such as Eustace as well as Jill? Speaking of which, do you like the BBC version of the Silver Chair where Jill is taller than Eustace when it should be the other way around. To me, that Jill is Jill from the book, since her last name is Pole, and can’t see anyone short with the name Pole.
Is she died ......😢
I understand that C.S. Lewis meant to write another book after The Last Battle that would tell us what happened to Susan and how she stopped believing in Narnia. But he died before he got a chance to write it. I like to think that he would have written of Susan's redemption, how she regained her faith and was eventually reunited with her family in Aslan's Country. I'm sure he planned to reunite Susan with the others. After all, once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia. If only there was a fantasy writer brave enough to take up Lewis' fallen banner and write the story of Susan's redemption. They would have to get permission from Lewis' estate and be a believer as he was in the Christian concept of salvation through redemption. Remember, her brother Edmund was a traitor, but he was forgiven. If even he could be redeemed, why not Susan?
Honestly, I kind of like that Susan moves away from her faith. I'm sure in Lewis's image it was a betrayal, but I'd like to think that she found happyness away from the pressure of being a queen of narnia, and having power over herself gave her life satisfaction that didn't need Aslan in the end. I don't know, just a positive spin on atheisim.
@@cactoyote as nice as that may sound the train crash that took her siblings also took her parents. So in one crash she lost her parents, every sibling, even a cousin. She is now pretty much alone now. If she does move away from Narnia then she would not be able to reunite with them and remain alone.
@@whiteladywolf If I recall correctly, this was accounted for in the narrative, with Aslan saying that Susan would come to find him again by another name (presumably, Jesus).
Or there's always Neil Gaiman's take on Susan. Not official canon but definitely interesting.
@@cactoyote thats actually depressing because christianity aside in the context of narnia if she rejects aslan and god she is not reunited with her family after death
The actress who played Lucy captured Lucy so perfectly. She reminded me of my sister when she was young and innocent and Edmund reminded me of me when I was hash towards my sister. Now that I am older I love my sister so very much.
I definitely loved Georgie Henley and of course her persona - Lucy
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 I really liked the actress who played Prim in the hunger games she was alsome
@@nmoney6655
And Meredith's sister (Bratz Movie 2005) or a little girl (Punisher War Zone)
Cause they are toxic your probably codependent but I'm not trying to diagnose you I know what it feels like to be codependent to really abusive people so I know how you feel but if it's not too late then you should cut them off. Just some advice
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 nah Prim was better
One thing I loved in the Walden film was how Lucy was the first to embrace Edmund. Despite everything he had done she was the first to take him back. It spoke to her character as she always had the heart and care for others. No one was beyond forgiveness for Lucy. We saw it first with Tumnus, he had been abput to capture her for the witxh and yet she comforted him and held him as her friend. She wasn't flawless but she was true and kind and had faith when others doubted or were lost. "I don't think I saw him, I know I saw him"
Susan may have been the pretty one but for my money Lucy was always the brighter spirit.
Wasn't flawless? I say she's quite a pure hearted type
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 Yes, but in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader she gave in to envy a bit as well as not being true to her friend when she read from Coriacon's book. Even in Prince Caspien she fails to follow Aslan at first. Lucy is good hearted but like all of us she has flaws but she grows because of them
@@Kenneth-dt5xb
I see what you mean
Lucy was always the character in Narnia I sympathised with. I was about her age when I read the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and I'm the youngest in my family, so that might have been why.
I also sympathized with Lucy the most. Though I am the oldest, my dad was my protector and role model, and I fell in love with Aslan the moment he showed up on the page.
Same. When the movie The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe came out in the early 2000s, I was Lucy's age watching it in theaters and really connected with her as I'm also the youngest sibling.
are you happy they didn't make a movie of it
@@EmilynWood so you're 26 or 27 right now
@@allison3852 You're off by a few years
I don't know why, but hearing the complete story of Lucy, along with the excellent narration & story-telling of this video, made this 25 year old cry. What a beautiful ending to a character who I grew up with.
i can relate, my heart got heavy hearing about the train crash but i love the happy ending
And this 66 year old
@@lauriewise6271 me too. 57. The nostalgia I think.
Lucy is one of the dearest characters to me: her sweet, optimistic and hopeful demeanour, sense of wonder and curiosity that propel her into new adventures, faith driven bravery and empathy for other creatures makes her a big part of what gives soul to the Chronicles of Narnia. Her relationship with Aslan is endearing and her growth is beautiful. 💛
She speaks to the children within people and reminds me a lot of my little sister. I adore her character! ✨
You should introduce your sister to the Narnia universe, if she’s into fantasy at all 😀
@@Roma_eterna I am planning to when she is able to read books on her own. We have a huge age gap as sisters but I am planning to give her the books when she a bit older since she is too young for it still.
@@xoxolaura_ I wonder what she’s up to nowadays. She’s gotta be… what, in her 20s now?
I agree
Lucy epitomizes the phrase "to have the faith of a child".
Not sure if anyone else saw this, but the children did not get into the wardrobe when during the hide and seek game. Only Edmond and Lucy did because Lucy went first to see if she had been dreaming and Edmond went after her to make fun of her. They all went into the wardrobe when "the Macready" was showing guest over and seemed to chase them into the wardrobe.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I'm going to start claiming that every video has a mistake just to make sure people are paying attention. :-).
Did the wardrobe draw Lucy into Narnia ?
I would say it was Aslan who called her through the wardrobe.
@@sarahluchies1076 nice
@@IntotheWardrobe I was paying attention! I enjoy your videos very much, but based on your comment I assume you value accuracy and don't mind your watchful viewers pointing out inaccuracies. When you talk about Lucy fighting in the Battle of Anvard you make it seem as if she is leading the battle. But Edmund and Susan had returned to Narnia just in time to hear the message from the stag and Edmund accompanied Lucy to Archenland and was the one coordinating the battle. Also, when you are discussing Prince Caspian, you say the children discover a trapdoor into the treasure chamber in the ruins of Cair Paravel. Actually, they discovered the rotted wooden door behind a wall of ivy (once they realized where they were and knew approximately where to look for it) and broke it down. No trapdoor. Minor, I know, but thought you would want to know.
My favourite Queen! She had so much courage! Such an underrated character. She’s a true friend of Aslan. She didn’t let go of what she knew to be true about Narnia. As a little sister, I easily identified with her. She’s the best!
Yes, I completely agree with you, and join with that! I always want to be like her too!. I appreciate Lucy Pevensie! Just love her!💗
The issue with the movie that bugs me most is that Lucy has black hair in the movie while in the book she had golden blond hair
Under rated how?
I swear people are saying that about just anything.
Definitely right, but underrated how? She's basically the face of the movie! 😃 Couldn't possibly be less underrated
@@ievaievaieva Yes. I mean, in three of the books she's the main character. She was very much written as a stand in for Jack's god-daughter, it's apparent how much he must have loved that girl because look at the love he writes Lucy with.
She's not under-rated. She's easily the most influential and important character in the series, save for Aslan. She basically starts the whole chain of events that lead to her siblings, Eustace, and Jill to becoming Christians.
Lucy is one of the best and most important characters of Narnia, and also the main female of the saga, without her, Peter, Susan and Edmund wouldn't know Narnia.
Yeah. That’s… really something.
I alao feel like Lucy is the one we grow most with. We see her at her earliest, then grow and even as an adult in the Horse and his Boy. There her kindness, courage and wisdom were fully realized
Lucy is the ultimate hero. Loving, humble, brave, pure, kind. She is my favorite character of all time, of any book.
Lucy for all the attention paid to her is severely underrated. She’s the conscience of the group, a capable queen and leader, and both warrior and leader. I wish we got to see her in action more!
Je ne penses pas qu’elle soit une guerrière malheureusement, du moins dans les films
As I grew up I came to appreciate Lucy. Sure, Peter was my icon as a kid, but she has this charm to her that's really endearing
Someone pointed out in a video of their coronation from the 2005 movie that Lucy's silver crown was decorated with the yarrow flower which they claimed represented: "courage, healing and love". Do you agree that that sounds like the perfect crown and representation for her?
And even though we didn't get an adaptation of 'The Magician's Nephew', the stylings of those four crowns did seem to follow the description (from what I can remember of it) that book gave of King Frank and Queen Helen's dwarf-made crowns.
I never knew any of this, but I agree that this is all spot-on. Let's hope that the producers of Netflix Narnia this much thought into their production.
I used to feel bad that the kids died young but then I remembered they had a whole second life and grew up in Narnia and also in new Narnia they will live forever anyways. And also aslan summoned them right before they died so even though it would have been quick and probably painless he spared them even that.
I felt bad for Susan. She didn’t die in the last battle. In my mind I could see Susan and her aunt and uncle (eustace’s parents) consoling each other In the deaths of eustace and Susan’s siblings and parents
And the fact that they are all now in Aslan's country except Susan.
Lucy and Peter were and still are my favorite characters from Narnia
Edmond had a hard lesson to learn and learned it really well. I think each of the children had values that we can all learn from and appreciate. The stories are magical in their ability to bring us closer to better ourselves.
@@louisegogel7973 but Lucy would still have a special place in my heart
@@nmoney6655
Our hearts. There's more than just you who is fond of Lucy. That girl will always be loved. She and Luke Skywalker have something in common, well except Lucy who can't fight but they have traits that would redeem any foe from the dark paths they took.
Hope you get to Susan because I'd really like to hear your thoughts on the Problem of Susan.
Namely I never thought she was considered no longer a friend of Narnia because of her discovering her sexuality but because she was being an immature child trying to act like a grown-up and being preoccupied with material things which, while not bad, nevertheless became her obsession.
But I feel Lewis missed the mark because we only had the siblings' word to go by and Susan never appeared in the novel so there is never a moment for her to defend herself.
Lewis was reconverted to Christianity in his thirties and I can sense that he wrote Susan that way to have a realization similar to him.
However, he treats her with little grace that it comes across as cruel of Susan to be kept alive on Earth while her siblings went on to glory. Really, the siblings treat the whole thing so lightly it comes off as mean-spirited.
After all, as Neil Gaiman said in his story, she would likely have been forced to identify the bodies of her family and be in financial disaster due to her parents being dead.
one thing id like to say by the fact you said some of the things you said and others have pointed out i dont think lewis did Susan wrong but in fact gave the readers some credit to infer some things that one can get to by understanding the themes of narnia
P.S. also i believe he was planning another book about her that he died before being able to write
He was .
But if that were the case, that doesn't translate well. Reminds me of when he received a letter from a concerned fan about the ending. He waxed poetics about how it'd take more of a mature novel to have Susan find Narnia her own way.
Mainly, I would have loved if Aslan or any stand in for the writer to say the same in-universe to make it feel hopeful.
Instead, the ending almost unfortunately gives off the notion Susan was being punished for liking nylons, lipstick, and invitations.
Of course by no means am I insinuating Lewis to be a sexist because both her and Lucy take part in battles. But by giving Susan no mention aside from an almost nonchalant "Our silly sister does not believe anymore," it feels that Lewis didn't care much.
Maybe it's values dissonance or a mistranslation error. The ending is esoteric enough with the kids dying in an accident and almost contradictory with other books supporting the notion of leaving Narnia is a good thing.
@@robby7499 i see what you mean but i like how one person put it which is she was to show how even a hero can fall from grace ( and had the last book been written find redemption
@@robby7499 I think part of the answer you can find for this is in the observation that Lewis himself took a very long time to come to faith. He was caught up in the frivolous things of the world but he also experienced personal tragedy. If you're looking at it from the perspective of Lewis writing his own experience into Susan's character, consider that many people are very harsh with themselves when they perceive personal failings or flaws. The hope in Susan's story is that Lewis did eventually come to faith and Susan more than likely did as well.
Even if you're not looking at it from that angle I think you can see grace in Susan's story. She experienced Narnia just as the other children had and grown into womanhood there the first time before returning to England. Yet, she still had free will in making up her mind what to do with those experiences moving forward. She wasn't forced into some kind of Narnian cult or into believing that her experiences in Narnia correlated in any way with someone by another name on Earth. She reminds me of the parable Jesus tells about the seeds a farmer was planting. Specifically the seed planted among thorns, also known as sins and the cares of this world. When those seeds of faith try to grow they get choked out by all those other things the person is wrapped up in. It's not about nylons, lipstick, vanity, materialism, or a flaw in her character based on gender... it's that many of us can relate to Susan's focus on the cares of this world and the wake up call it would be to find in such a personally tragic way that life is fleeting. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Her tragic ending in keeping with the themes of Narnia should call the reader to personal examination of their own life and faith.
Sorry that was long 😊 I hope it helps!
Lucy showing mercy to someone who did evil things shows just how wonderful of a person she is! C.S. Lewis was setting good examples for us, and he might not have even known it!
Its a shame that Walden media didn't go on to adapt the other four books in the series because then we could of seen a heartfelt reunion between Lucy (georgie henley) and mr tumnus ( James mcavoy) in the last battle.
Beautiful video. I literally choked up when you said once a queen of Narnia, always a queen of Narnia. And that is the blessed promise.
Susan’s ending is tragic- but also not. She got to grow up and live out her life in the world she was born to. The other children were granted eternal life in the magical realm of “Aslan’s Country”- but it was their attachment to Narnia that put them on that train- that took away their chance to grow up in the world they were born to- and that basically killed them.
There seems to be some contention as to whether Susan actually did "grow up." Digory, Polly, Peter, Edmund, and Lucy all grew up, but never stopped believing in Aslan and Narnia. Susan, in Polly's words, "wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste the rest of her life trying to stay that age." Susan was something of an apostate; she came to deny all of her time and experiences in Narnia, regarding it as a childish game that she and her siblings "played." Even more tragically, she sacrificed her character growth in Narnia for the shallow, hedonistic party life (or as it was referred to in The Last Battle, "nylons, lipstick and invitations"). She did end up living longer than any of her siblings, but she lost nearly her entire family (with at least her uncle Harold and aunt Alberta having survived); that experience would hopefully wake her from the stupor of the party life and bring her back to the faith that was once such a part of her.
@@danielgaul284 sadly, we are all Susan. Yet we should all strive to be Lucy.
Not sad at all really for the other three. Lewis put it nicely. Term was over, the holidays had begun.
@@golvic1436 I am still Lucy.
@@antigonarosaura7845
I am a 31 years old boy who is conflicted between Susan and Lucy. I love Lucy and I will always want to be her.
I’ve always wondered how mature or how educated Lucy & the others were compared to others in their world? Did their years in Narnia change them at a noticeable rate? You’d think so right? Or did they soon forget the 15 years of experience mentally?
Maybe slightly wiser but they went back to their kid brains so they didn’t process things like adults
@@starchannel123 True. Yes, I think that’s a fair point. It just makes me wonder still with memories & events like that could they & would they channel all that into decisions they make in their world as they returned? Just thinking out loud.
I think the war aged all of their peers. It may not have made them stood out. War does that sadly. But yes they did not really die young. They lived extra years.
It always seemed to me they felt this time a bit misty way, as it was a long wonderful dream - only shared with others so they "knew" it was real. It is possible for a child to dream of being an adult - physically and mentally and after waking up the child is still a child :) so they were children again only had more memories and a bit more wisdom maybe. :)
They would have gained Narnia knowledge and maturity, but would still have had to learn history and advanced mathematics
This channel is EVERYTHING!
The Chronicles of Narnia are, in my opinion, as much a masterpiece as were J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, in some ways, perhaps better. For new parents reading these 7 books to your children, I admonish you to read C.S. Lewis' "Letter to Lucy" at the beginning of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. You see, there really was a Lucy, Lucy Barfield. She was Lewis' goddaughter. In reading this letter he puts the whole 7 books in context. They were written for her, at least initially. It's because of that we see that the letter is for all of us. Oh, we're not all Lucy, Some will be Peter, others Susan, others Edmund, and still others Eustice. On this Easter Sunday morning listening to this overview, I'm reminded of how Aslan laid down his life for Edmund the betrayer, but because Aslan did so willingly, "Time worked backwords" as Lewis put it and Aslan is alive again. So I am reminded that Jesus laid down His life for you and me, and on the 3rd day rose again to life. He is Risen. A joyful Easter to you all.
All SUPER true comments. What a blessing to know that so many folks "got it". Tolkien ideas have far to go.
I agree completely! MIddle Earth is the much more detailed creation, but the very fact that Narnia is sketched so hazily is part of its charm. It allows so much more scope for speculation
@@davidmorris2219 JRR Tolkien argued with CS Lewis over the type of writing style, and yet CS Lewis was possibly his biggest fan. Tolkien wrote ONE great masterpiece and one minor work (The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit) Make no mistake, although God is never mentioned in the Lord of the Rings certain truths come out, simply because it is a fantasy about Truth. At least 3 death and resurrection sequences (and that's if we don't count Faramir and Eowyn) What Frodo and Sam went through in Mordor speaks loudly to our lives as Christians.
@@rockandsandapologetics7254 Tolkien wrote TWO great masterpieces. The Silmarillion is astonishing and we are blessed to have it. Its central premise - the rise and fall of the Elves, the firstborn - reflects, pretty much, the biblical fall of humanity and our innate longing for Eden restored.
For me Tolkien is the greater of the two authors in terms of fictional world-building. His imaginary universe has tremendous depth and richness, informed by his deep Catholic faith. No other writer affects me quite like Tolkien.
But Lewis comes close, in a different way. I love Narnia - and many of Lewis's other works - and really appreciate what Lewis did with those stories.
@@philippalinton5850 You aare wrong, but not in the way you may think. The Silmarillion was Tolkien's notes and was never meant to be published. Upon his death, his son Christopher published them. The reason I say you are wrong is because they were his notes. The reason I said but not in the way you you may think is because the were his notes. Notes may have taken 30 or 40 years. Truly J.R.R. Tolkien is the father of modern fantasy. C.S. Lewis had his Narnia and his adult Space trilogy, not to mention many other writings, both fiction and nonfiction, but his Christian works never would have happened were it not for Tolkien. I recently purchased a book on Tolkien and Lewis and their enduring friendship.
The editing and effort you put into these videos is very impressive! I can see this channel growing very quickly.
I do love the fact that after the first book ( not sure if it’s only film ) but in Prince Caspian when she said she saw aslan Edmund said “ last time I did t believe Lucy I looked pretty stupid “ basically saying he belied Lucy which I love
I am also curious how do you feel living a full adult life before returning to our world influenced the children as they grew up out of Narnia? They had the rare chance to learn from their future selves
That's the basis for my head canon about Susan.
I always thought that the reason she came off as "obsessed with nylons and dresses and make-up" was because she took to growing older really well and hated having to go through everything terrible about puberty all over again in a world where women were undervalued and seen as lesser than men where, previously, she had been a ruler.
Bro I didn’t realize how much I knew about Narnia. This whole time, I’ve been kinda bummed that I wasn’t a massive Lotr or Star Wars fan as far as not being a normie. But Narnia? Im a friggin advanced fan. So stoked to have found your page man
It also showed Lucy’s morals and courage to not say the beauty spell in the voyage of the dawn treader. Especially bc it was Susan who was always beautiful and there was some jealousy there. It said all of the princes and kings of Narnia would have waged war to marry her AND the same on earth too.
I've read all of the Narnia books, and I've seen all the movies that were made. I love them all, and I WISH they would have made more of the movies.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I kind of wanna know more about Susan, and why C. S. Lewis decided to ultimately not include her in the Last Battle. Which by the way is not necessarily a criticism, just something I’ve always been curious about lol!
Yeah Susan (and Edmund) are my favourite character from the series
Susan stopped believing in Narnia and Aslan sometime after the events with Caspian taking the throne back- the children's 2nd visit. In fact, the book shows us that while Lucy was the first to see Aslan again, Susan was the last (and only when he was right in front of her). During The Last Battle it was the friends of Narnia who died because they were trying to enter the country from outside and save it. Since Susan didn't believe in it anymore she refused to take part.
There are old rumors that CS Lewis was planning to write another book about what happened to Susan and if she ever did get to reunite with her family in Aslan's Country but he died before being able to do so.
You’re a magician with words! This was so well presented and really done with love and passion, that the last bit literally brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for this amazing content!

This video was amazing 👏!! The ending almost made me cry and it gave me goosebumps it was so good!!! Keep up the good work!!
Well done, Sir! Well-done! Dare I say that you are somehow getting even better with each episode?
It would be damn cool if somebody, some one, anybody! To revive this series in the lenses of Susan Pevensie, now much much older of course, in the present time with her own family and grandkids - And how this new revival of the series would began through the discovery of the abandon train wreck rail way where coincedently Susan's grandkids had wondered into. Curiosity peaked their young minds and after several few more visits, they'll mention it to their family, including Susan. Now, at this point it would be great if we had any context at all what Susan's was thinking after the last battle, but let's just put it this way. The mention of the train wreck or anything at all that has to do with it, triggers all sorts of memories and emotion in her after blocking the grief all these years and she sometimes even pretend having memory loss just to avoid the topic. This went alright with her kids... But not her curios grandkids. As quickly as they were to tell her their recent discovery, she too was quick in shutting them off and yelling them out, not wanting to hear another word about it. Especially to not set another foot towards the place.
Now, as young as her grandkids are, they were not clueless... And they surely weren't little angels either. So going against their parents and grandmother's word they went anyways. On a regular basis too even.
Days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months, months turns to years.
But one day... one very particular day... the kids failed to return.
To be continued...
A portal to another world, a real wonder world I loved to visit with my daughter both in book and video. Long live Queen Lucy!
I have just recently found this channel, and I gotta say I am already a fan. It has inspired me to go back and read these books again. I see now that I missed a lot! I also really like your theories on some of the things we are not sure about (like thr green lady for example)
Awesome! Thanks for watching!

What is the song called ?
@@lazy_lizzard "Hercules - Go the Distance" at least that's what I think it is
I know you are primarily a Narnia channel, but I'd love to see videos about the Space Trilogy. Great work!
It's really a bittersweet ending to the overall story that even though they all returned and made their final home in Narnia, several of them died such a violent death in the "real" world in order to be able to do so.
Magical. Loved it!🌟🧡🦋💛
So very well done, sir. Bravo!
This is simply wonderful. Thank you:)
You're very welcome!
I would love to see you continue this, perhaps you could do the rest of the Pevensies.
It doesn't matter how old I get, I never stop getting goosebumps whenever I hear "Once a King or Queen in Narnia, always a King or Queen."
Romans 8:38 comes to mind reading this.
Love your videos! Thanks for all your hard work! You should do the life of Susan next. I find it to be the saddest part of the Narnia series.
Yes…tragic indeed.
So do I😄😍🤩😇🧡💜💚💙💛👏👏👏👏👏👏💪🧠🙏✝🕊👧
I agree that it is the saddest part of the series. But I'm grateful that Lewis left the door open for the possibility that Susan would find her way into Narnia later in life. He even encouraged his young readers (in responses to their letters) to create their own stories about Narnia to fill in the gaps that he didn't have time to address. I think based on these letters that Lewis would have been a big fan of well-written and thought out fan fiction. :-)
Thank you for this I love Lucy! ❤️👸🏻
I consider this channel to be a gem in the rough
A beautiful story. Thank you!
Brilliant analysis, Stuart.
I love Lucy’s character so much !😊❤️
I love your videos of Narnia. I love Lucy and all other characters. I love Narnia so much.
As a kid I was as captivated as Rilian by the concept of Bism, the land under Underland. For some reason the silver chair was my favorite Narnia book as a child and what I wouldn't give to see it, and specifically the lands of Underland and Bism, explored in video
This video gave me chills.
Fantastic! Thank you!
I'm glad to find this channel, excited to see what you do next, and planning on becoming a Patreon once I get my summer Job.

- Sarah Sparks' Album "Into The Lantern Wastes" (Shasta's Complaint is my favorite)
- Songs referencing Narnia "Silver" by The Gray Havens or "Silver Shores" by John Mark McMillan.
- The Planet Narnia book and theory
- Other surprising allusions found in Narnia
(you don't even have to like this content, you could do an honest critique)
I think it's important that more people are aware of recent content done with Narnia. This will build up some community between those who love the series and Lewis' work.
Other ideas:
- You could draw connections between Narnia and Lewis' other works
- You could show more about Lewis' life as it relates to Narnia
- Characters I would like to see more on are Puddleglum, Eustace, or Peter
- You could trace the lines of Narnian royalty
Great ideas all around! Thanks so much for sharing...And welcome to the community!
I love The Chronicles of Narnia. I am mesmerized by the art of the video
Thank you for a really beautiful video
The first time I read these books I was 14 years old back in 75, even after all these years I still enjoy reading them, if you look closely there is a chronological order to them and the order that they were written in, I set them up in the chronological order, the Magicians Nephew being the first. These are very good books any way you read them if you read carefully you will see the different biblical messages throughout the series which makes them a fun read. Lucy was also my favorite of the four kids! But the Fawn Tumnis was one of my favorite creatures all the way around as he was a faithful friend to the kids as well as a guardian to Lucy,
I didn't know that Lucy's dagger was never found, that's pretty cool.
i love lucy so much
This is one of the greatest stories of our time. Long may it be told.
A valiant effort.
Well done.
:)
But why did I like this video even before I watched it?😊😊 I hadn't even skipped the ads.
Ah, its nice coming back from time to time and think about Narnia again. recently discovered your channel and just had to put on a narnian audio book. (Horse and his boy i think? Only know the german titles).
I love your videos ❤ I had some theorys about narnia as well but I have to find them because it has been awhile since i wrote them down , but when I do I will be sure to put them in the comments
Please do! I look forward to hearing them.
A great story, and a beautiful ending.
Damn, Into the Wardrobe, we need more content. I’m not sure how long I keep listening to all the existing content, over and over. “Give us more, please”.
Lucy’s story is so emotional inside and outside of Narnia.
Beautiful!! 😢🥰🥰
lucy is my absolute favourite fictional character and i’ve always admired her from a young age. she really is a valiant queen
Our favourite. I've always loved both Georgie Henley and her character - Lucy. I've only watched the film since 2006 and the first thing that came into my mind, Lucy.
Brilliant video! Lucy is a great character. Only thing I’d recommend is maybe to title and put only “life” instead “life and death” so that people watch the video without the fear of being being spoiled just by the thumbnail and title and maybe add chapters with the different life stages or books to make it easy for new readers to know where to stop and make it easier to rewatch these again as you read the books!
These characters series are going to be a slow burn archive of great videos for new and old readers to come back to their favourite Narnia characters whenever they miss them. There isn’t a better narrator than you. Great job!
Thanks for the comments!
❤️Nice video
God damn good video we all need a lil more Narnia in our life
Wow!!! What Wonderful find!!! Thank you for your channel , I just subscribed!!!!💖🙏🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Welcome! Thanks for subscribing!
I can’t imagine a reboot of this classic , nothing could compare
You never know.
That was amazing
Into the Wardrobe I just thought of something. If being possessed by Tash was the coast Jadis had to pay for her to learn the unspeakable word. Maybe the word itself, is infact the name Tash itself. And that only when possessed can it take effect & be not just an odinary word, but the word to end the whole world that Charn was a part of. & Because Jadis was possessed by Tash, or being the only one with the Mark of the Beast, When she spoke the Devil's name wheil possessed, the Devil protected her from the Beast's wrath.
interesting
Very interesting idea. Thanks for sharing!
It makes alot of sense for the "terrible price" to be Jadis' soul. This would also explain how Tash got into Narnia.
And how after she died, evil was still present in Narnia.
@@nonnativenarnian That's true. Tash only shows up in the final book, but there's no reason to assume he didn't quietly enter the world with (or through) Jadis at the beginning. Notably, Calormen worships him, and they have a long history which is not fully laid out. Perhaps the line of Tisrocs can be traced back to Jadis.
I love all the Pevensie siblings, but I guess the character that I can relate to is Lucy. She was relatable for me! 🤍
I miss the Narnia movies. I honestly forgot about them until I saw this video in my feed. What great stories from my childhood.
I really need to read the books again because I had forgotten some of what you described in this video. Of course, it's not just that I haven't read the books for a while but I have also watched the three movies multiple times. We all know the liberties that were taken by Walden Media to change or leave out some of the story line. So back to reading instead of movie-watching. Thanks for a great video, it was very entertaining.
I loved this
Lucy is definitely a personification of the Beautitude "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." (Matthew 5:8).
Lucy is my favorite character in the books and movies! I first watched the movies and really related to Lucy being the youngest in my own family. No one ever believed me when I tried telling them something was off in a situation and most of the time I was correct in the end. But they never listen to me even now that I’m older so I can understand Lucy’s POV through the movies and books. She always had a kind heart and open mind even when betrayed by her own brother and new friends she made in Narnia. No one believed her when she mentioned she saw Aslan then in the end he always shows up to save the day.
We need one of these for the other 3 too
I think Lucy has the faith of a child. While being the youngest, she was actually the first of the four siblings to discover Narnia. What else? She's the only one to have seen Aslan in Prince Caspian. As shown in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, she is not without flaws. Even a good character can have some flaws here and there.
a character is ONLY a good character if they have flaws.
I’d love to see one of these about the other kids! Especially Susan lol
I love Lucy. She is my favorite character in the narina series.
The most amazing thing about the Chronicles of Narnia is the portal's description; " It's inside is bigger than the outside", (page 744). CS Lewis died one day before Dr Who first aired and never got to see how 'inside is bigger than the outside' became such a phenomenon. Just as CS Lewis' Chronicles themselves have done. I hope you have more interesting videos about Narnia.
Wow, I never knew this. Thanks so much for sharing. Yes, new videos coming soon!
@@IntotheWardrobe I nearly fell off the chair when I first read it as an adult. I'll be looking forward to seeing your next video.
I do love your channel; the content is 99% top notch! There's just this one, niggling little gripe that I have, that's keeping that last 1% away!
Now, I want you to understand that this is just _my_ issue, and I'm not expecting any changes; I'm just kinda quietly hopeful…
You use some wonderful artwork, both from the books and from fans. But you also use a _lot_ of imagery from the big budget Disney [et al] _movies._ I've always felt, though, that the old BBC *Narnia* series were more faithful, to the source material, than the recent movies were! So I'm kinda quietly hoping you'll start using more imagery from _those_ tv series, and less imagery from the movie series! 🤷🏻♀️
But 99% is still pretty damned good, so if you're happy with that, it's all good; it's _your_ channel after all 🥰❤️
Thanks for the note, and you make a great point. The problem with the BBC imagery has to do with my process of creating artwork (digital brushing and photobashing). For the BBC series, the base lighting, color pallet and composition isn't nearly as dynamic as the films so it would take more time to end up with a good looking piece of art. However, I'll see if I can start working in some of those wonderful scenes as well. I agree they do deserve more attention! :-)
@@IntotheWardrobe that's actually taught me something new; I honestly didn't realise the issue with the colour palette. But I am glad that you'll look into using some of the images available…
Maybe you could do a short series of videos comparing the various BBC shows, all the way up to _'The Silver Chair',_ to their source material books; that way you won't have to edit any images as much, to make them look like "artwork", when using them (that sentence got away from me, so I hope it made sense)? There's even some interviews with the original cast, from way back when, that I'd be _very_ interested to get your thought on, in _possible_ future videos! 😇😇😇
Whatever you choose to do, my loyalty to your channel will _always_ remain! 🥰❤️
I would love to see an origin or a fan theory about the 2 Swan queens that presided over narnia in the days of old.
i remember watching it on PBS back in the day
This is such a good video. And the music makes it even better. What's the track in the end called?
