Discussion Questions
- Aslan tells Peter and Susan they must find him 'by another name' in their own world. Lewis was a Christian writer who used Aslan to represent Christ. Analyze what this instruction means both within the story and as Lewis's message to his readers. Is Lewis breaking the fourth wall, or is Aslan's instruction fully contained within the fiction?
