C.S. Lewis and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

Clive Staples Lewis was born on November 29, 1898 in Belfast, Northern Ireland to his father, Albert James Lewis, and his mother, Flora Augusta Hamilton Lewis. Lewis had an older brother named Warren Hamilton Lewis, which he had been born on June 6, 1895. As a child, Lewis had a dog named “Jacksie” whom he really loved and cared for. When he was just four years old, the dog got ran over by one of the first cars in Ireland and died. Immediately following his dog’s death, Lewis changed his name to Jacksie. Eventually, the named evolved from “Jacksie” to Jack. From that point on, all of his friends and teachers called him that (Bio.com).When he was seven, his family moved into "Little Lea",

She was separated from her alcoholic and abusive husband, novelist William L. Gresham, and came to England with her two sons, David and Douglas. Lewis at first regarded her as an agreeable intellectual companion and personal friend, and it was on this level that he agreed to enter into a civil marriage contract with her so that she could continue to live in the UK.

Although Lewis was just now getting more ideas, he had been coming up with imaginary characters throughout his whole childhood.

The Christ-like characters name is Aslan, he is a lion and also the ruler of Narnia. He shows respect, guides others and does whatever you picture what Jesus does. As for the Satan-like character in the novel, that would be the White Witch. She is a very cruel, mean, and a disrespectful person.
