had studied the other team’s playbook first hand and now knew all the secrets. He used this to his advantage when writing his books to create logically sound arguments. One of the most obvious arguments for Christianity that Lewis presents in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a logical argument for the reality of Jesus Christ. This argument is an explanation by The Professor in the story of whether or not Lucy was “mad” after hearing concerns from Susan and Peter about Lucy’s story about a magical land beyond the wardrobe: “‘Logic!’ said the Professor half to himself.

When Lucy does not answer, he unfairly imagines her “sulking somewhere” One his way back, he meets Lucy and he only tells her that he had been looking for her instead of apologizing. He does not genuinely ask for forgiveness. When Lucy tells Edmund that the White Witch is evil and untrustworthy, he disregards her opinion and convinces himself that she is

Lewis got the name, Jack.

The Wicked Witches of Oz correspond to the major corporations during the election of 1896. The Wicked Witch of the East is the ruler of the eastern land of Oz. She is the equivalent to the real worlds banks. Because of her wickedness a house was dropped on her leaving “her two feet, still sticking out from under a block of wood.” (Baum).
Assured Victory The adventure story The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis is an allegory for Jesus’s passion and death.

In addition, the question about detailing her personal background gave me insight into how theater became so prevalent in her life, since her family members, mainly her twin sister, share the same passion.
