[QUOTE="Freakconformist, post: 18527718, member: 124435"] Very true, I think Lewis put it in because Islam was and still is a promenent religion in the Holy Lands. I find it interesting though the character of the young Caloraman, Emeth, also went to "heaven" with everybody else, because he was a good man and worshiped honestly. I of coarse believe that all who worship Jesus will enter into Heaven, but I think it would be a pleasent surprise to see good men like Ghandi and the Dali Lama will happily be sitting outside of the Gates. Another segment of people I though interesting for CS Lewis to touch upon were the disbelieving Dwarves. They had also entered into "heaven" but had convinced themselves that they were still stuck inside the stable. I'm pretty sure Lewis was refering to Athiests. Aslan called it a "prison of the mind", and that rings very true to me. Another allegory Lewis used was using the stable to represent "death." Though they had no real reason to fear the simple wooden structure, up until the "final battle" it showed no sign of being special. However the characters were constantly looking at it with fear and horror. All the while, in the end it ended up being the final portal to "heaven" That allegory leads to the part where "High King Peter" (St. Peter) was the one who finally shut and locked the stable doors. (The gates to "heaven") That part started me to looking at how High King Peter represented St. Peter. After Aslan made his sacrifice at the stone table, it was Peter who stayed for so many years afterward to rule Narnia. And instead of leaving an hier (you notice none of the Narnian kings were ever married) he passed it on to the rightful hier a decendant of King Frank. Okay enough analysis from me. I'm bound to make peoples heads explode. :D [/QUOTE]
