I met a friend who was very good at CS Louis at a friend's place last week. That day, my friend was playing "The Chronicles of Narnia" to entertain us. Act as an interpreter during the period. very beneficial.
The explanation is as follows:
Lewis's life complex is to want to return to his alma mater Oxford to teach, but because his works are mostly about beliefs, the alma mater thinks it is not suitable for teaching, and refuses it on this ground. He taught at Cambridge all his life (I got it wrong in the previous post). He was eventually awarded the title of Honorary Professor by Oxford, and he died only three months later. It is said that today's Oxford is proud of two people who must be visited by visitors, one is Newton and the other is him.
Lu's friend Token, the author of The Lord of the Rings, said: I don't like this book because it's so real! They are both professors of medieval literature in Cambridge. Lu is the study of fables, and Tuo is the study of myths. Allegory is about comparing the truth with the truth. For example, Aesop's fables are all about real animals and plants who are anthropomorphic and later metaphorical things about people. Myths say that the false is better than the true. It is a metaphor of the real world with ghosts without supernatural powers. They each write their own work in their own way.
People ask Louis what the world of Narnia is about in the book? Lu: It is the whole of Christianity. Does the Lion King refer to Christ? Answer: No. His explanation is that fables cannot be disassembled to explain, but individuals must be explained in a holistic sense.
Presumably what he meant was that a fable could never fully embody that identity. The friend's explanation is that the Christian faith is both apocalyptic and historical and natural, in time, space, life and warfare. Sometimes it is even tragic, if it is not necessarily in this life to avenge justice.
That friend likes the cute little girl Lucy in the movie the most. Especially when she first came back from Narnia and told her brothers and sisters that they didn't believe them, she said innocently and eagerly: "That's true!!"
Yeah, when people can't believe the real world you're experiencing, what else can you do but say, "It's real!!" Unless they see it too. In this regard, Lewis said humorously: Does the kingdom of heaven exist or not, what does it have to do with whether you believe it or not? Lewis has explained the "faith" in this way: people often criticize Thomas, one of the Twelve Apostles, for not having faith, but he believes that there are two types of faith, one is faith that sees, and the other is faith that doesn't need to see. Thomas belongs to the former. Both are high and low.
As for me, this time I noticed that little Edmund, who was almost executed by the witch in white at first, and then the witch gave him a delicious meal and released life as bait, in order to trap and kill the "curse of salvation" in the ancient prophecy. Men of Narnia", and blinded him by promising him the status of a prince. So after returning to the world, Edmund refused to admit that there was such a kingdom. Later, Edmund fell into the hands of the witch again, only to realize that he had been used. The most sad part was the witch's taunting to him: he betrayed his brothers for a few Turkish delights! Finally Edmund woke up, joined the battle with the witch and won, and was finally awarded the title of King of Justice by the Lion King.
Lewis is very meaningful, and he has written his own image into the book. The friend said that today we are also living for the ancient prophecy that has not yet come to pass (half fulfilled and half unfulfilled). . . . .
