One of my favorite things about Narnia is Aslan. But not just Aslan because he's a lion and he's really cool, but the way Lewis uses him as a metaphor. It's cool that Aslan = God, but whats cooler is the way Lewis makes that evident in dialogue as well as action. Recently i re-read all seven of the books, and in just about every book, there is a conversation similar to this one:
"You mean," said Lucy rather faintly, "that it would have turned out all right - somehow? But how? Please Aslan! Am i not to know?" "To know what would have happened, child? said Aslan. "No. Nobody is ever told that."
I continue to remember these conversations after finishing the books, and i think about what Aslan said. It's really a different perspective, knowing that what would have happened isn't important.
