Narnia; the myth and the lie.

Today the film version of the book, the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe appears on in theaters all across the world. It is too bad that half of it is going to be a lie… Does that sound harsh to you? Do you recoil in your chair when you read that? Half of the movie a lie?

Well... interesting enough, C. S. Lewis was able to be a spin master that would make Dan Rather turn green. Let me give you a few examples of where Mr. Lewis took Facts in the ere in Narnia that he wrote the Chronicles in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and twisted them to fit his plot.

1) The Snow: Winters in Narnia used to last about 30 years. So when the children arrived one day before spring began,(29years 364 days into the winter!) they, and C. S. Lewis, just simply concluded that they had caused the new season. And moreover, that it had always been winter before they arrived.

After the unlawful transferring of power, the new rulers instated a brutal and vigorous plan to create globe warming to shorten the winter to normal earth conditions that they were used to living in. Due to the season shorting, many creatures where sadly and needlessly driven to extinction. Just one fact Mr. Lewis “forgot” to mention.

2) The Secret Police: An unfair, unproven fact! Please note that because of the wise rule of the “White Witch” crime was just about nonexistent. Therefore - it is possible that the police could be so unknown, and their presence so uncommon that they might have called “Secret.”

3) The Statues: A fact, but a cunningly deceitfully, twisted fact. The Statues were in fact tombstones of subjects that died during the long winter season. The ground would be obviously frozen during the winter so burial in the normal way was quite impossible. The kind queen, in her great love for her subjects, invented a wand that would fossilize the dead animal etc, into a protective block of stone until the end of winter when they could be more properly buried. Never was the wand used as an offensive weapon, a lie that C.S. Lewis use’s scandalously and outrageously often in his manuscript.

4) Tumness the Fawn: The fawn was a liar and all-round scallywag who had political ambitions. Ambitions - that caused him to have a great interest in overthrowing the Queen. The Children from the Wardrobe helped him to turn his wicked plans into evil acts. He was arrested for treason (the first arrest in Narnia in countless years), but it was too late. The connection had been made, the lies told, and the damage done.
