The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe
It's weird that now Edmund happens to be some what my favorite character in the book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. The first time I read this book i disliked Edmund very much. What ever he said or did was just annoying to me. He was such a nasty boy so rude and cruel. The second time around i followed his journey closely, and i loved to it. He changes very dramaticly. He was blinded by this awful jelousy he felt towards his older brother Peter, his sister Susan, and younger sister Lucy. He was looking for a way to prove that he was beyond better than any of them. he wanted attention, and he was willing to do anything it took to get it. he was not intentionally looking to harm any of them but a young boy like him didnt know any better. He was nieve to believe that the white witch would really make him the king of her "kingdom". he thought this wqas the perfect way to prove he was on a greater level than his siblings. Once he saw with his own eyes how cruel and cold hearted the Witch was he regreted his betryal. (giving his own blood up to the witch). But yet in the end he ends up being Edmund the Just. A huge change from the person that fibbed and made his sister Lucy suffer when she first spoke about Narnia. Even after Edmund knew it was true.

What do you think it was that changed Edmund? He is a very interesting character...and I think his change is especially telling.
ReplyDeletewow jenifer stop talking about Edmund so much your hurting his feelings
ReplyDeletethis is really good jenifer!!! i want to read it now but add what why u think he changed and what was ur reaction.
ReplyDeleteI think Edmund changed because seeing how cruel someone can really be(the white witch) and realizing that having susan and peter on him wasn't because they disliked him it was because they cared. He had to get a taste of his own medicine in order to change.
