1. faun
2. dwarf
3. witch
4. goat/man

After Edmund came back from Narnia he tells Peter and Susan....

1. about this whole new world called Narnia
2. about what Lucy and Edmund saw in Narnia
3. He lies about the existence of Narnia
4. He doesn't remember what had happened

Why do you think Edmund lied about him discovering Narnia?

Narnia - Until now

• Lucy knows about Narnia and she wants other people to know too. 
• Edmund saw Narnia with his own eyes, yet he denies its existence. 
• Peter and Susan don't know about the existence of Narnia at all.

Why could it be that the writer placed these characters in 3 different positions when it's about "the existence of Narnia"?

Oh my God!

Edmund sees a whole new world, yet he denies that this world exists. Lewis creates a parallel between Edmund and the non-believer—a person who refuses to believe in Christianity and the existence of God. Unlike Lucy, a child with an open mind. 

Oh my God!

Edmund's mind is closed to the possibility of a separate world. Likewise, God is intangible, so it is difficult for some people to believe in His existence.

Edmund, representing the non-believer, sees Narnia with his own eyes and still denies that it is real.
