                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[1. What does it tell us about Lucy that she needed to basically be told twice by Aslan to go and help the wounded? Do you think this is an important piece of character development for Lucy? Why or Why not?

2. Do you agree with Susan or Lucy about if Edmund should be told about what Aslan did for him?

3. After Edmund was healed, Lucy noticed that looked better than he had since first went to &quot;that horrid school&quot; and &quot;He had become his real old self again and could look you in the face.&quot; Why do you think Lewis points out this apparent difference in Edmund? What do you think caused this transformation?

4. What was your favorite / least favorite part of this chapter?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[1. The BBC mini-series, the Walden Movie, the animated version, and the Focus on the family radio version all leave out the scene with the other lion running around telling the other animals about what Aslan said and Aslan loading him up with a lot of creatures. What, if anything, does this scene at to the story? What do you think it was left of adaptations?

2. Lewis points out that the evil creatures &quot;. . . looked even stranger and more evil and more deformed&quot; in the daylight than they did at night. Why do you think he does this?

3. What caught your attention in this chapter? What were your favorite/least parts?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[What do you think would happen if the Deep Magic were not appeased? Why couldn't Aslan just announce that he overruled it?

Why did Aslan make Peter in charge of leading the battle?

The White Witch ordered her troops to humiliate Aslan by shaving his mane before she killed him. Why do you think she did this?

Why do you think Aslan looked braver and more beautiful to Lucy after he had been shaved?

What stood out to you about this chapter? What did you like? What didn't you like?]]></content:encoded>

2. What do you think Aslan said to Edmund? (If you don't want to guess, what tone(s) do you think Aslan used with him?)

3. Why do you think Edmund was so calm when the White Witch came to speak to Aslan?

4. Lewis hints at some other powers that the witch might have, other than turning people to stone and keeping everything in a perpetual winter. What powers do you think these might be? Why are they important to her character?

5. Why does the witch only claim the rights to the lives of traitors?

6. How is Edmund a traitor, even though he had never yet met Aslan? How does this expand his character?

3. C.S. Lewis makes a point of describing Father Christmas as more solemn than we usually think of him in our world. Why do you think he does this?

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[1. We spend a lot of time with Edmund in this chapter. How would you describe him?

2. If Edmund had stayed just a little longer, he would have heard about the prophesy concerning the four thrones. Do you think that would have changed his actions?

3. Throughout this chapter Edmund either makes excuses or blames Peter to justify his behavior. Do you think this is because of the Turkish Delight enchantment, or is Edmund entirely to blame for his actions?

4. Compare and contrast this chapter with the corresponding section in the film. Do you think the film brings out some facets of Edmund's character that we don't see at this point in the book? In the book, where, exactly, does Edmund realize his mistake, and why do you think the filmmakers chose to alter this?]]></content:encoded>
