Characters
Who matters and what they help you prove.
Edmund Pevensie
The second-youngest sibling and the book's central example of temptation and redemption. He is resentful and jealous early on, which makes him easy for the Witch to manipulate. His betrayal drives the plot, and his rescue and change of heart resolve it.
Peter Pevensie
The eldest sibling. He grows from an ordinary boy into a capable leader over the course of the story. Aslan knights him after he fights a wolf to protect Susan, and he commands the battle against the Witch's army.
Susan Pevensie
The second-eldest sibling. She is careful and skeptical, often the voice of caution. She receives a bow and horn from Father Christmas and fights alongside her siblings, though she tends to hold back where Peter charges forward.
Aslan
The great lion and true king of Narnia. He is powerful but not safe, kind but not tame. He negotiates with the Witch to save Edmund, then dies in Edmund's place, and returns to life because of the Deeper Magic. He is the moral center of the story.
The White Witch (Jadis)
The self-declared queen of Narnia who has kept it in eternal winter for a hundred years. She rules through fear, turns enemies to stone, and manipulates Edmund with enchanted food. She knows the Deep Magic but not the Deeper Magic, which is her fatal blind spot.
Mr. Tumnus
A faun who is the first Narnian Lucy meets. He is ordered by the Witch to hand over any humans he finds, but he cannot bring himself to do it. He is later arrested and turned to stone, and his fate gives the children a reason to act.
Mr. and Mrs. Beaver
A beaver couple who shelter the children and explain Narnia's history and the prophecy about Aslan. They are loyal, practical, and brave, and they guide the children to Aslan's camp at real personal risk.
