I was excited to hear about moving scenes and temptations, and beautiful landscapes…..I’m so excited!

Edmund also wanted to be the richest king ever. Edmund was wanting to use his right as king of Narnia and become more powerful and wealthier the Caspian. So they both wanted the same thing, and even to be the king of the same country.

every single "little scene" as you call it is central to the story!! VDT is an episodic novel, meaning it is made up of all of the "little scenes" inside of it. The "main story" without the "little scenes" would be about a page, "the Dawn Treader sailed to the end of the world and had many adventures along the way" with EVERY temptation and on EVERY island the result of the temptation would have stopped the voyage (perhaps not Lucy, but the temptation that the dufflepods gave into certainly could have!). The more I think about it the more I have to agree that VDT is centrally about temptation.

It’s been a long time since I read SC so I may be TOTALLY off base, but I don’t think it’s really at all about temptation. I would have to say it is more about faith. Polly didn’t know what the importance of Aslan’s words were and it was when they didn’t have faith in Aslan that things went bad for them. Since faith is the shield in a spiritual battle it would have to be about spiritual warfare as well.

How precisely is Edmund tempted at Deathwater Island? I didn’t really see it-I always saw it as Caspian being tempted by being the richest king ever and Edmund trying to stop him. Caspian tells them to be silent, but Edmund refuses to. Anyways, I am open to correction.

I so can’t wait to watch The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Even though I prefered Aslan from the previous movies (especially the first one), this movie will be EPIC. This Christmas will be the best season yet!

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I figured we weren’t really disagreeing. Thanks for replying to little old me (or little young me, as the case may be )

I totally agree with you guys! Right now I’m busy working on a post for this thing… But yeah, I hate those things or sayings where they say, believe in yourself, when it’s actually believe in God, trust in him, ask your Guardian Angel and the Mother of God for a stronger faith in God & to overcome temptation. Because if you overcome temptation & sin you know you have passed the test.
