My Favourite Character in the World of Narnia
“Santa Claus is coming to town…” Beautiful Christmas songs are
circulating the whole world with the happy mood of everyone. Looking
through the windows, Christmas stockings are hung around everywhere.
Children are craving and looking forward to their presents. They jot down
all their wants on a piece of paper in case Santa Claus is too busy to
remember them all. Everyone has the image of Santa Claus in their minds.
Hairy and snowy beard of Father Christmas reminds me the hair of Aslan,
the great lion in Narnia.
Aslan is not an ordinary lion which chases after little animals
brutishly, but the greatest hero of Narnia, a place that was originally
under the control of the devil White Witch. However, with the
enthusiastic support of Aslan’s followers and the determination in his
heart, he managed to defeat the White Witch with the four young
characters (Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy) who he met at his headquarters,
the Stone Table. His bravery indeed paved the way for his revolution
against the spell of the White Witch, which was to make Narnia have no
Christmas and warm weather. In addition, the absolutism to her disgrace
rules also made creatures in Narnia suffer. Yet, Aslan did not accept the
subhuman rules cowardly. Instead, he planned a very perfect objective to
rescue Narnia. Together with his followers, he managed to rescue the
creatures that were cursed to be stone statues. Moreover, he defeated the
White Witch and brought Narnia back to life. Everyone is living happily
in a warm weather ever after.
Apart from his bravery, he also sacrificed himself to save the greedy
brat, Edmund who betrayed his siblings in order to have more Turkish
Delight and marshmallows. Aslan was so selfless that he forgave Edmund.
At the same time, he did not care about death in order to save others.
Fortunately, Aslan has risen from the dead.
Other than the mentioned achievements above, Aslan was so generous
that even though he was the one who mainly defeated the White Witch,
he shared the glory with the four children and he even let them rule
Narnia.
His holy figure gives us the impression of a Savior of Narnia. He left
the victory to the young generation and disappeared subsequently. No one
knows where he has gone but I can guarantee that he must be helping
someone, maybe the one who is writing about him!
