Essay Topic 2
C.S. Lewis designated his work, Prince Caspian along with all the other books in his Chronicles of Narnia series as being children's literature, however, the novel is full of powerful themes and inferences that are pertinent in contemporary society leading the novel to be read and studied by people of all ages. Discuss how Lewis simultaneously introduces advanced themes while maintaining a plot that would be assessable to a child. Give specific examples of literary devices and tools employed throughout the book enabling the novel to function on several levels.
Essay Topic 3
Throughout Prince Caspian, C.S. Lewis utilizes a unique chapter structure to illustrate the ambiguity of time and how it is relative to different characters and different worlds. Using specific textual examples, illustrate how C.S. Lewis portrays this ambiguity and also how the characters themselves respond to this relativity of time as they are presented with the hazards it creates. For example, the Pevensies are lost in an area they were previously familiar with in Chapters 8 and 9 due to the effect of time upon the landscape. Identify any statement Lewis may be making on the importance or relativism of time throughout the novel.
