The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe 4: Deep and Deeper
from Stars and Swords: Footnoting Genre Fiction · host Stars and Swords
In this episode, we discuss C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, chapters fifteen to seventeen. This week, we end our discussion of the first Narnia book with thoughts on the deep magic, the influence of Jupiter, and the power of things which aren’t real. Next week, we begin our second unit with everything up to the beginning of chapter four of Terry Miles’ Rabbits. Unanswered Questions: What are the Deep and Deeper magics? Does the breaking of the Stone Table speak to an end of the Deep Magic, of paganism, or of the Old Testament? How do the Kings and Queens of Narnia relate to the characters of the Pevensie children when they return to Earth?
