Why does narnia end

Here's the only excuse we can make: if you keep reading the other Chronicles of Narnia , you'll notice that C. Lewis isn't really all that interested in puberty, maturity, or adulthood. He's interested in the forces of Good and the innocent power of childhood. Whenever Lewis's child characters start to grow up or mature, they get tossed out of his books and he invents new children to be the new protagonists.

So, in a fictional world where adulthood disqualifies you from participating, it actually makes sense that Lewis would keep turning his characters back into the children they were at the beginning. He wants us to see that their souls, not their bodies, grow up. I hope she returns to aslan on day though to join them. Welcome King Phillip and Grimmcest! I didn't see either of you post before. Phillip, somewhere on this site you'll find an old thread all about whatever happened to Susan.

I think there is the possibility that she came to Aslan's country another way, later in her life Yeah, its always a shame about susan but I think thats where C. Lewis' christianity shines through. Alot of times I get caught up in the fantasy and fiction and its times like that that reminds me of the Narnia roots. Orangegoldandgreen New member. I kind of guessed it a few pages before the ending, I thought it was cool how they thought there was a crash, but then they thought "It's magic.

The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning. And then I finished reading the book and sat there and thought about everything. It was wonderful. Yeah, that was amazing. It just makes you all the more anxious for what's to come. It makes me smile. Jood New member.

Tirian addresses the dwarfs and challenges the Tisroc 's orders. The soldiers are astounded when Tirian pulls Puzzle into the torch light and reveals the deception to the dwarfs. The dwarfs stare in amazement but the Calormene soldiers challenge Tirian, who attacks them, and, with some help from Eustace, kill the two. The dwarfs settle the remaining Calormenes who were bringing up the rear of the procession. Cheers for Aslan are hailed but are less than accepted by the dwarfs. They are tired of the name Aslan and refuse to be taken in.

After much discussion, they proceed on their own away from Tirian and his people. One dwarf, Poggin , returns to Tirian and announces his loyalty. The party then trooped back to the tower to spend the night.

After victuals are done the next morning, Poggin tells of the fanciful tale concocted to cover the disappearance of Tirian. Ginger said he had seen and heard Tirian cursing the name of Aslan when suddenly in a flash, Aslan appeared and swallowed Tirian whole. It is surmised that Ginger and Rishda Tarkaan are actually pulling Shift's strings. Poggin relates an episode in which he overheard the cat and Tarkaan discussing the use of Shift until their victory is complete.

They will let some of the Narnians in on the secret as they deem them worthy, but in all the plan is to hand Narnia over to the Tisroc. During the discussion, the sky clouds over and a great darkness falls upon Tirian's group. A great cloudy figure shaped like a man with a bird's head and huge curved beak soars overhead and northwards, toward Shift and his band.

The grass withered beneath it, its claws outstretched, appearing to take all of Narnia into its grasp. When the thing is gone, Poggin suggests that demons should not be summoned unless one wants to see them. The thing was Tash. The group continues their discussion, gaining whatever information possible from Jewel during his imprisonment. Though the Calormenes tried to force him to admit that the false Aslan is real, which Jewel refused to do, he really learned very little about the enemy's plans.

The companions are faced with a choice to either to go back to Stable Hill and reveal the false Aslan to the Narnians, or to join Roonwit and the army coming from Cair Paravel. They decide to meet Roonwit. Tirian and the children remove the Calormene disguises and pack some biscuits before locking the tower and leaving. All felt lighter knowing that war was about to be waged against Shift and the Calormenes. The conversation is lighthearted, Jill talking about how she wished Narnia could go on forever, the history of Narnia, and various other topics.

The mood changes when Tirian stops and greets Farsight the Eagle who brings news. Cair Paravel has fallen to the Calormenes. Worse yet, Roonwit is dead from a Calormene arrow and the army they seek does not exist. Narnia is no more. It is decided that they will fall upon the ape and expose his deception to the Narnians.

Tirian begs the children to return to their own world rather than meet death in battle. The children refuse to go, pointing out that even if they wanted to they didn't know the way. Tirian thought of sending them to Archenland , but Calormen would almost certainly take it next and presumably the rest of her empire afterwards.

They proceed towards Stable Hill together. Jill and Eustace chat on the way, trying to decide what would happen if they died in Narnia.

Would they be dead in their own world, too? Eustace surmised that it would be better than getting bashed up in a British Railways accident. Jill finds this a rather odd statement. Eustace describes the sudden jerking movement that pulled them into Narnia as being in an accident.

While the children discuss trains, the others discuss the future. Several options were discussed, including living in solitude. Once they reach the stable, they watch while Ginger the cat passes through the doorway.

After a few moments pass Ginger, now rendered a dumb beast, shoots out in a fit of terror. He climbs up a tree and is never seen again. A Calormene soldier, Emeth, passes in next and after a pause, a figure in Calormene armour falls out, clearly dead. At this point, Tirian and the children move into the firelight and attempt to rally the Narnians to them.

Shift is caught and hurled through the doorway, at which point a "blinding greenish-blue light shone out from the inside of the stable, the earth shook, and there was a strange noise. Many creatures rally to the defence of Narnia, including all the Talking Dogs, many smaller creatures including mice, moles and squirrels, and finally a large boar and the bear.

However, very few of the beasts have moved - most are petrified by the wrath of 'Tashlan' within the stable - and so the Calormene soldiers force the loyal Narnians step by step closer to the stable. Tash pounces on Rishda and is about to murder the remaining Narnians when Peter appears and banishes him.

They discover that they are in a wide green field, with a grove of trees close by. Peter suggests that they eat of the fruit of the trees and Tirian realizes at last where he is. After eating as much as they wanted, Tirian asks how the others came to Narnia, then asks why Susan is not present.

One of these Christian themes is the idea that many adults did have faith as children and merely let themselves grow out of it as they became older, choosing instead to follow the ways of the world and think too logically. In the Prince Caspian novel, Peter and Susan are told they will not return to Narnia simply because they are "getting too old.

As one who has lost her belief in Narnia, Susan is the only one of her siblings who never truly return. Peter finally does go back to Narnia at the end of The Last Battle and, upon arriving, asks how it was possible after being told he would never return.
