Of course everyone knows about the religious symbolism in C.S.
Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia. So many Christian parallels exist such as how
Aslan represents Jesus, Jadis is Satan, and the plot of the movie represents
the entire story behind the resurrection of Jesus and the fall of Satan. Recently in thinking about this film and
possible different elements it might contain, I thought about how the oven in
the short film Bunny represented a
gate in the way it transported the bunny to a starry sky, which represented
that she died. In Narnia, the wardrobe acts as a gate to another world as the children are able to go back and
forth between the real world and Narnia.
The movie is also set during a time of war, and war is associated with
death. Although morbid to consider in
such a great kids movie, could the idea of death be associated with this
wardrobe?
