“A myth is a way of making sense of a senseless world. Myths are narrative models that give meaning to our existence." ― Rollo MayFiction has always been used as a medium to convey different types of messages over time. In many cases authors use fiction to make political comments, they use stories to bring out major flaws in society, as well as a way to spread different types of beliefs or ideals. C.S. Lewis used his work, “The Chronicles of Narnia,” to reiterate the messages of the Bible to those who may have been lost in their lifetime. While his entire series was full of tie-ins, the books that have the most prevalent tie-ins are The Magician's Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. In both there are places very similar and very different to the books of the Bible. Considering the context in which Lewis wrote this series is extremely important to see what some of his motivations may have been. These stories began soon after the end of World War II. These stories were a way to teach the next generation some moral principles taught by the Bible. By creating these fantastical stories Lewis was able to make connections to help bridge the learning gap between the two generations. Furthermore, by using children as the target audience, Lewis was able to remind adults too, instead of being ignored due to the recent war. Lewis was able to address these lessons and morals in a way that taught children the way of the Bible, as well as put a new spin on old stories so that adults could return to religion, after having lost some faith during the brutal war. Originally, the first book in the series was The Magician's Nephew, and it was a creation story. Just like the Bible... middle of the paper... it's imaginative and kid-friendly. These stories presented many of the same dilemmas and faced many of the same challenges. Both had to do with innocence, betrayal and temptation. C.S. Lewis's work defiantly reflected the Bible, but was better suited to the times and people. This tendency to use narrative as a tool to spread messages, such as religion, has been used, is being used, and will continue to be used in the future. In the end the stories are different, but the messages are all the same. Works cited "Genisi, Matteo and Giovanni". Holy Bible: NIrV, new version of the international reader.
