C.S. Lewis's The Silver Chair: A Deep Dive

Episode 7, Chapters 13 & 14: Underland without the Queen and The Bottom of the World


Listen Later

Having defeated the Queen, the characters are now trapped in Underland. In these chapters, more themes emerge: (1) Evil seeks to destroy everything within its sway (We live in an age that wants equally to deny the existence of Evil or to appease or compromise with it, but Evil will not compromise); (2) When you are following Aslan, He will sometimes assure you of his presence in miraculous ways (The touching scene in which Rilian's old black shield miraculously transforms into gleaming silver with a bold red likeness of Aslan at its center is a beautiful example of how God sometimes works to miraculously show us His presence when we are seeking to follow Him); (3) Focus on Aslan leads to repentance and true identity (In an extremely poignant scene, Rilian leads the children and Puddleglum in worship, which as they draw close to Aslan convicts them of their sin, causes them to confess to one another, and to remove their masks as they worship Him); and (4) Freedom from slavery leads to speech, joy, and desire for one’s homeland (Lewis beautifully depicts how slavery, whether it be to a sorceress, an addiction, or a false worldview, robs us of speech and joy and displaces us from our homeland).
