Edmund's peregrination into the Witch's service initiates when he finds out she can make Turkish delight appear by magic. Because it is magical dessert, Edmund shouldn’t really be accused of being so obsessed with it. The actual problem is when Edmund is thinking about the Turkish delight even after he left Narnia.

A Turkish delight might attract many people by its pleasant taste, but in the story of Narnia, Edmund got in big trouble for desiring the Turkish delight. In C.S.

The archetype “devil figure” is a character who represents evil incarnate

One could underline the fact that the dynamic between the two brothers is different from what we previously seen in Tex or The Outsiders because Peter and Edmund have two sisters. Edmund does not seem to accept the changes occurring during his stay in the Professor’s house. He does not recognize the

Through The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the author uses metaphors to suggest a likeness between the characters in the story and Christianity.
