Is Anyone dissapointed Susan and Peter can no longer go to Narnia [Archive] - The Dancing Lawn

they both had their time in Narnia and made their decisions about where they were going. throughout the whole book it was pretty obvious to me that there was something strikingly different about Su and Peter. Su was much more of a whiner from the start and Peter was much less of the picture of perfection he seemed to be in LWW. It just showed that the year they spent in the real world was enough to choke their innocence to an almost irreparable degree.

Besides, i'm kinda looking forward to a little change in characters... that whole High King thing with Peter was starting to annoy me for some reason.

I was never especially interested in the children, even when I was a child myself. The main draw for me was always the fantastical element, so the characters I missed were creations like Reepicheep, Jadis, Puddleglum etc. The children were relatively interchangeable, though Eustace was a slightly more intriguing character due to the vitriol Lewis displayed for 'Experiment House' and his parent's lifestyle. For example, across Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair, he details such shocking goings on as vegetarianism, no corporal punishment, no knowledge of Adam and Eve, a preference for factual books, no smoking and no drinking. I imagine I didn't notice that list as a child, but re-reading as an adult, it's rather amusing that these are the things Lewis appears to hold up as 'bad'. :)

This will be a difficult question. Give a lot of thought to this to make sure you understand the question before replying, and don't be afraid to ask for clarification...

When the Pevensies went back to their world, they were faced by an entire society that did not believe in Narnia or Aslan. The Professor urged them not to speak openly of their adventures, but he never asked them to act as if nothing has happened. Narnia and Aslan changed their lives. It would have been right and just for them to reflect that changed life in a commitment to excellence and character. Agreed?

I wonder if, like that long-ago Saint Peter, they ever tried to "hide" more than the details to win the approval of their peers. Did they swallow their changed character, their battle-hardened morals, their keen discernment, their life changing experiences with the Great Lion? Did they, like that other Peter, ever deny Aslan thrice before the cock crows?

If I grew up in Narnia, then came back to this world, there would be a terrible temptation for me to either withdraw from society or to try and fit in like a chameleon. To go on being High King Peter would be a great burden in a world where professors insist upon being called "Sir" and I could no longer pass a rule to smite the great injustices rampant in society.

Perhaps as image-conscious teens (and I was that age once and I understand totally and sympathize fully), they chose between wearing the red lion on their breastplate and wearing the latest fashions. Maybe that's why they could not come back in. The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak. I would die for him, and even more courageously I would live for him, something that takes a certain patient courage that resists the same temptation 100 times and resolves to pass it 100 more. But that is something I learned from seeing how badly I can hurt the ones I love. The young adore Aslan. So do the old. Or as I said once in a short work:

"Lord I want to meet you in the east. When I'm young I won't neglect you in the least. Lord I want to meet you in the east. Lord I want to meet you in the west. As my sun sets, your love will give me rest. Lord I want to meet you in the west."
After all, Prince Caspian died an old man in the land of the Great Lion. Aslan never kicked him out. Neither did he banish the Telmariners that would willingly choose to live by his rules. Some of them were rather old, married, had children, whistled at pretty girls or fawned over handsome men, even drunk wine and smoked tobacco. They weren't kicked out for this, not for their chronological age.

What do you think?

lamer

01-13-2006, 12:06 PM

I can agree with that, Chakal. Not much I can say to follow-up to that, though.

***SPOILERS FROM TLB***
I was really just sad for Susan in the end... how she was so caught in the world she didn't get to experience the new Narnia like the others did.

Did they swallow their changed character, their battle-hardened morals, their keen discernment, their life changing experiences with the Great Lion? Did they, like that other Peter, ever deny Aslan thrice before the cock crows?

In my opinion, the impression given by the books wouldn't support that conclusion. As soon as the children re-enter Narnia, they regain their Narnian natures; there is a description in Prince Caspian of Lucy being 'a third schoolgirl and two thirds Queen Lucy'. I don't take this to be a matter of the children denying their faith and then regaining it, but rather being quite different people in Narnia with additional attributes - namely, heroic monarchs. Hence Edmund recovers his swordsmanship, while Eustace regains a maturity won in Narnia; he is described in The Silver Chair, when the prospect of entering Bism arises, as being 'like Caspian' because his adventures 'came back to him'.

It isn't a question of Peter or the rest 'denying Aslan' or the way they were in Narnia; there is no possibility of being as they were in Narnia, unless they are in Narnia. Therefore I don't think the following premise functions:

To go on being High King Peter would be a great burden in a world where professors insist upon being called "Sir" and I could no longer pass a rule to smite the great injustices rampant in society.

'Once a king in Narnia, always a king in Narnia'. In other words, only a king in Narnia; outside, just a schoolboy.

Interesting, and you cited examples. I doubt it is that open and shut, black and white, but I respect not only your view but the evidence you cite for it.

No matter what comes of this discussion, I think we all agree that going from High King Peter to Pete Pevensie would be a major shock to the nervous system... It would even make a good story.

slideyfoot

01-13-2006, 12:38 PM

Oh I agree - remember, these are interpretations of a children's book, which by their nature tend to be simplistic, and indeed Manichaean. The same occurs in Lord of the Rings; a basic battle between a clearly delineated 'good' and 'evil'. This means that all kinds of 'meaning' can be drawn from such books, whether intended by the author or not (Narnia being one of the most chewed over by academics, theologians, critics, journalists etc because there is evidence that Lewis intended some allegory; the question is, how much?). That's half the fun of reading them as an adult. :D

no not really after all peter goes into narnia at the very end of the last battle. susan doesnt because she doesnt belive in it anymore and you get accustomed to the other children.

catsgoleor

01-13-2006, 02:32 PM

I believe that all of the characters who went into Narnia and came back into our world carried at least some of those experiences with them.

Take Digory Kirke, for a start, did he not bring back an apple to give to his mother to cure her of her illness? Then he planted the seeds of that apple in the back yard, as I remember it. (Though this is a physical thing, it still counts, I think.) He also has the memories to share with his life-long freind Polly. It's no accident that the Pevensies find their way into Narnia in Prof. Kirke's house.

I think another character to look at would be Edmund. At one point in LWW, Lucy notes how the air of Narnia, as well as the influence of the Lion, have worked their charms on Edmund and his ways, making him once again the brother he was to her before he started going to that wretched school. My impression from later books Edmund is able to maintain his hard won internal balance even in the ordinary world. In fact, I think it holds true for Eustace as well, to a point.

I also think the same essential qualities which make the 4 children Kings and Queens in Narnia exist in both worlds, but as Narnia is a magical place to begin with, those qualities get inhanced and improved on once they are there. None of them would have lost any of those qualities upon coming back to this world because they are essential parts of their personalities, though they do revert to their younger-selves (thereby negating any authority which Peter may or may not have had, because here he would still be a child, if on the verge of young adulthood).

Just some thoughts.

I wasn't dissapointed, but I felt sad. It made me feel that thing when you grow up and you can't return to your childhood days anymore, you know what I mean.
But it's normal, I mean, they just get too old. Being young has it's advantages and disadvantages, so what I suggest is, that probably it's a part of Lewice's phylopsophy about things.

Like the egypitans, they believed that the world was created by a small baby - innocent and perfect...

When the poster said "is anyone disappointed Susan and Peter can no longer go to Narnia", they are referring to Prince Caspian, not The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Unless you were also referring to Prince Caspian?

In which case, they don't appear in The Voyage of The Dawn Treader or The Silver Chair, but Peter pops up in The Last Battle.

TheORKINMan

I always got the impression that at least with Peter, the reason he wasn't allowed to come back was so that future kings and characters did not see him as a crutch. In the latter books I often got the vibe of "If only High King Peter were here..." This is especially true in TLB when the last King of Narnia is wishing for his help. In Voyage of Dawn Treader the horn was kept on the ready in case he needed to be summoned again etc...

Peter was chosen to be High King for a reason, and that reason was to provide an example for future generations and not to continually come back and pull everyone out of the frying pan.

Well, I know both were done with their time in Narnia and all that, but I still thought it was a shame that they couldn't go back. I don't mind Susan that much, but Peter's one of my all-time favourite characters in the series, so I was sad when that happened, yep.

02-03-2006, 08:29 AM

I, too was disappointed that they won't be showing up in the later books.

Although I prefer Peter over Susan.

Peter is ,indeed, a great king and I really like the fighting scenes in the books.

Srob

02-03-2006, 07:42 PM

I was really disappointed. When I first read them when I was 6 or 7, I didn't even want to continue reading the series, but then I was like, YES I DO!! So I got over it.

And I agree with the statement that someone made earlier, that it symbolized their coming the Christ at a young age. I read somewhere that like 85% of people come(or came) to Christ before 18 and then after that only like 20% of all adults will make the decision.

hey at least peter enters narnia after all is said and done. although i must admit my heart dropped when i learn that susan didn't enter in to the new narnia. :( but hey at least is a realistic representation about what is likely to happen. you know, some people might be on fire for God but may endup choosing other paths in the future.

02-06-2006, 03:03 PM

I agree with what WiseEdmund said about how the world changed Susan, but I don't think that was ever an issue with Peter. I think that, on the spiritual aspect, Peter (along with Diggory and Polly) is an example of staying strong in faith even without getting any reward for it. Because in the books I don't think there was ever an mention whatsoever of Peter having weak faith, after his testing when Lucy spotted Aslan and no one else did. At that point, he told Lu he would never doubt again and I don't think he ever did. Only Susan was really changed by the world, but she was a bit of a brat from the start. Besides, she visited America during her schooling. that can be a bit dangerous :)

I too indeed was very saddened that Susan was not present in the New Narnia yet I could not forget how often she spoke of "going back" , "we must leave now", "listen to the witch, listen to the wolf". If Susan is a type of those who hear and the "cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word and he becometh unfruitful", then I understand why she is not at the end. But I do wonder if the angels in heaven rejoice over one sinner that repents, do they also cry over one who does not?

I just finsihed the book a bit ago and was really sad when I read that...Hopefully they will come back in the Last Battle...And it would be awesome if Digory and Polly (Magicians Nephew) were in it, too!

Don't worry, Prince Cor, they'll be back, all of the friends of Narnia return in the last battle except Susan.

02-11-2006, 07:05 AM

They'll come back in The Last Battle. I wish CS Lewis would write this:
Starring High King Peter & Queen Susan, King Edmund & Queen Lucy
Peter Looks at Susan
Edmund: Peter, why r u looking at Susan? And why r u drooling?
Peter: I am?
Edmund: Yes, u are.
Lucy: Here's a tissue.
Peter: Thanks.
Edmund: Ur looking at her again.
Peter: She has the most beautiful eyes and the longest shiniest hair.
Lucy: Peter, r u in love with ur own sister?
Peter: Yes, I am. In fact, I want her 2 marry me.
Edmund spit out his drink.
He said: You can't. U r her brother. You cannot do that.
Peter: Oh yes I can. I m the high king. I can do whatever I 1.
Edmund: But what about Aslan?
Peter: Aslan Smashlan. I want her 2 be my wife. I will force her 2 marry me.
Edmund: How dare u!
Peter: Enough! I want her and I will have her. 2nite I will kidnap her and force her 2 be my wife.
Peter stormed of leaving Edmund n Lucy behind.
Lucy: What r we going 2 do?
Edmund: We must tell Aslan.......................

Bit crazy, right? :D

02-20-2006, 01:41 AM

Well, the fifth book (Horse and his Boy, right?) doesn't take place until all four are grown. You see Susan mention about the moles planting the orchard right before the Ambassadors from Calormen came with the suit from Rabadash. So she'd have to at least be of marrying age by then, and it was only in Calormen (that it is mentioned) that the girls marry paticularly young.

02-20-2006, 08:10 PM

Yeah, I agree with cuzsis. I am glad they are making it in the order that they were published in, because that way they won't have to change any of the kids over the course of the entire movies. Thankfully, by the 5th movie, skandar and georgie will be old enough to play the grown-ups they're supposed to be in the movie.

You mean "The Last Battle"? They wouldn't need to recast since they are adults in it, but they may need to recast if the actors become really famous and wont do anymore Narnia films in fear of being "type cast" like so many actors do when they become full of themselves :mad:

But i think 1 day Su did get back to narnia cuz of this qoute...Once a king or queen of narnia, always a king or queen.

Ephinie

04-24-2006, 06:19 AM

What happens to Susan has always bothered me. Not only does she not get to go back to Narnia, but she gets to be the sole survivor of her entire family in our world. That's got to be hard on her. Imagine losing your entire family all in one day to a freak train wreck?

anna.the.gentle

04-28-2006, 07:18 AM

Erm... Well, yes, I was kinda disappointed about that. It was hard to believe, actually. After all what happend... It's just a bit annoying but when you read the other books, you'll feel that feeling go away.

Truth[and lies]

04-30-2006, 08:27 PM

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Pevensie, Susan will probably return to Aslan's Country when it is her time to pass. Read carefully in the commentary, as it explains " Lewis intended Susan to represent those who in the confusion of their fallen state find a spiritual call to faith drowned out not by malice on their part but simply by the mundane distractions of everyday life."

Eustace and Jill go into the Stable, and find that they were also killed (they find out along with the others)

Susan was not on the train and does not die yet.

Aww, don't be sad, QueenSusanofNarnia. Here's how I interpreted Susan's unfaithfulness to Narnia and this will actually make you feel a lot better:
It represented how all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but I think that Susan will go to Narnia. Don't you remember what Professor Kirke said? "Once a King (or Queen) in Narnia, always a King (or Queen) in Narnia?" ;) Aslan will not forsake her. That's against his nature. She was one of the 4 out of the prophecy, so I don't think she will truly die, but get back into the Real Narnia with all of her friends and family. :)

Copperfox

It is precisely because Aslan IS Jesus Christ, and His eternal country is reachable from our world, that Peter and Susan could bear not being allowed back into Narnia. If Mr. Lewis had written a companion book about the life Peter lived in the years immediately after "Prince Caspian," it would have shown Peter BRINGING the idealistic Narnian spirit INTO life in our world (much as Eustace, after his transformation, carried a new nobility with him into the disgusting Experiment House). It would also, sadly, have to show how Susan failed to do the same.

I am disappointed that Peter can no longer go back because he fought hard and worked hard for Narnia.

With Susan I'm a bit ambivalent. I get the impression that with her it was no great loss. The tragedy of that, of course, is that she didn't understand that it was a great loss.

ES

PrinceOfTheWest

11-09-2006, 09:39 AM

Well, it's important to keep two things in mind. First, the reason they weren't allowed to go back was that they were beginning to get old enough to shoulder responsiblity in their own world, and Aslan needed them to do that. Also, as He explained to Edmund and Lucy at the end of Dawn Treader, they needed to get to know Him by His name in our world. So it wasn't just like a "cutoff" - it was a reassignment.

Secondly, those who wished to return to Narnia eventually did - and after that, they never had to leave. Peter, Lucy, and Edmund - as well as Digory and Polly, who only got the one brief shot - ended up back there in the end because they'd never truly left Narnia in their hearts. It was because they were willing to endure temporary exile for the sake of Aslan's wishes that they were able to eventually return for good when their tasks were done.

Although I too am disappointed that they, Su and Peter, cannot return to Narnia, I believe Aslan made it this way as some form of test. They have seen what Heaven is like, and if they wish to return they must work for it....I believe the small time that they were there was to add a boost to their morals and characters, to make them better people, which worked, until returning to the world. In the end, everything they will have done and siad will be accounted for, and only then will they be let back into the world of Narnia, the perfect world.

Yes they will be in Narnia. It is just there last time there. (Except for Peter in The Last Battle)

Then you'll make no end of progress once you read the rest of the books. Briefly:

Prince Caspian returns all four Pevensies to Narnia.
Dawn Treader continues with Lucy and Edmund, and introduces their cousin Eustace.
Silver Chair continues with Eustace and introduces his friend Jill Pole.
Horse & His Boy is a "prequel" inserted into part of the timeline while the Pevensies were Kings and Queens of Narnia, but mostly focuses on two native Narnians, Aravis and Shasta ("Narnian" as in the world not the country, as Aravis is actually a Calormene).
Last Battle wraps things up with Eustace and Jill; the other Earth visitors make their appearance in the final chapters (except Susan, who is referred to but not present).

And as to the Pevensies, in a nutshell, Aslan decides when each of them has spent long enough in Narnia and needs to get to know him better in their own world, under the name he is known by there.
