The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Literary Analysis | Mythology, Theology & Religion Explained 🦁

In this video, Dr. Whitney Kosters, professor of English, explores the theology, mythology, and philosophy of C.S. Lewis’ famous 1950 children’s novel, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and how Lewis’ take on mythology, religion, and truth, as expressed in his essay, “Myth Became Fact” heavily influences the writing and interpretation of the novel. Other talking points include the Hero’s Journey, especially as it relates to Lucy, the real nature of Edmund’s betrayal, Turkish Delight as an addictive drug, the Christian undertones of the novel, Platonic Idealism and the True Narnia, Allegory vs Supposal, fantasy, and how all of this relates to the way a child is to engage with the novel. #thelionthewitchandthewardrobe #CSLewis #Tolkien #Aslan #allegory #supposal #britishliterature #childrensliterature #mythology #literature #analysis #lecture #religion #TurkishDelight #Pevensies #Lucy #Edmund #fantasy #novel #theology #Christianity #religion #jesus #PlatonicIdeal #Plato #hero #herosjourney #monomyth #Christianliterature #Philosophy #education #educate #professor #chroniclesofnarnia #jesus #balder #drugs #wardrobe #drugaddictionawareness #drugaddictionawareness Professor Hector Amaya's web site on mythology: https://sites.google.com/view/mytholo...
