Lucy, Edmond, Susan and Peter

In chapters 1-4 of  the book of Narnia the lion, the witch and the wardrobe the author introduces all of the characters. There is Lucy the youngest one, Edmond , Susan and Peter. They have to go to a house were they can get away from war to be safe.When they arrived, all of them were happy to be in the house because it was really big and they could do pretty much anything they wanted. The next day, it was raining and they couldn´t do anything outside. So, that day they decided to explore the house and look at some rooms. There was one room Peter  looked but it had simply just one wardrobe. Lucy, stayed and got inside the wardrobe to see what was inside. When she got deeper inside, she discovered a hidden world inside the wardrobe. There she met a lovely faun, Mr. Tomnus. When nightfall arrived, Mr. Tomnus confessed that he worked for the white witch, and that she demanded all of the sons of Adam that came to Narnia. Mr. Tomnus grew really fond of Lucy, so instead of kidnapping her, he helped her escape and get safely to the wardrobe. When she got to the house, she tried to explain everything, but no one believed her. Peter and Susan were really concerened about Lucy´s actitude. The other days had a pleasant weather, but Lucy didn´t enjoy those days properly. Other rainy day came, and they decided to play hide and seek. Lucy wanted to visit Narnia one more time to see how was the Faun. While Susan was counting, she got inside and got into Narnia. Edmond wanted to get inside too, so he entered right before Lucy did. When Edmond got inside he met the White Witch and she told her to bring her his other brothers and sisters. Sadly, Edmond told the witch about the Faun and how he helped Lucy. Finally Lucy and Edmond met on the woods of Narnia and returned to the house.


Quote analisys

"´Nothing there!´said Peter, and they all trooped out again--all except Lucy. She stayed behind because she thought it would be worth while trying the door of the wardrobe ..." (C.S Lewis, 6)
Eventhough Lucy is the youngest one, she is very curious. She likes to explore and discover things more than anyone. That´s why she is the first one to discover the mistery behind the wardrobe.

"´The White Witch´ said Edmund; ´who's she?´
´She is a perfectly terrible person," said Lucy. "She calls herself the Queen of Narnia thought she has no right to be queen at all, and all the Fauns and Dryands and Naiads and Dwarfs and Animals—at least all the good ones—simply hate her. And she can turn people into stone and do all kinds of horrible things. And she has made a magic so that it is always winter in Narnia—always winter, but it never gets to Christmas. And she drives about on a sledge, drawn by reindeer, with her wand in her hand and a crown on her head.´
Edmund was already feeling uncomfortable from having eaten too many sweets, and when he heard that the Lady he had made friends with was a dangerous witch he felt even more uncomfortable. But he still wanted to taste that Turkish Delight more than he wanted anything else." (C.S Lewis, 42)

This quote shows that Edmond is confused of what side he is in. Maybe after eating those enchanted sweets, he might want to go on to the Witche´s side.

Conclusions

In conclusion, Lucy, Peter , Edmond and Susan have arrived to this house full of mysteries, in which , Lucy is the first one to discover a wonderfull thing. Though, no one believed her. Finally, Edmond does discover what´s inside the wardrobe as well. I think that Edmond is confused of which side he is in.
