The story of the four Pevensie children and their adventure from England to the country of a parallel universe known as Narnia. The theme of not trusting strangers (among others that will not be mentioned in this blog) is significant in the novel as twice in the book, there is a betrayal between two strangers. The white witch - formerly known as Jadis - persuades Edmund Pevensie to join her on her conquest of Narnia. As the story of Edmund and Jadis progresses, Edmund realizes that he is equvalent to a slave to her. He is mistreated in many ways and nearly loses his life when Jadis wants him killed. Edmund then realizes that she is the true evil of Narnia and joins his brother, sisters, and all the creatures of Narnia in the fight against her. Were Edmund not to trust the white witch - who was a stranger to him - he would not have helped her do bad things.
I enjoyed reading this book so much that the fourth grade was not the only time I read the text. This book quenched my thirst of good fiction.
Why did Edmund stay on the side of the which even after knowing how terrible she was?
