Morality is a driving force in many of the most successful literary works. Morality dictates human actions and, in one literary case, allows the reader to relate to a character. C.S. Lewis uses morality throughout the Chronicles of Narnia as a means of convincing the reader to support a character. He is able to tug at the heartstrings of his audience and in doing so successfully lures them into celebrating the victories of children and mocking the cruelty of witches. Lewis did not intend The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to attempt to attack morality. points of view. Lewis said in an interview: “'I don't like stories to have morals: certainly not because I think children don't like morals. Rather because I am sure that the question: "What do modern children need?" it will not lead you to good morals”' (Sadler). However, his use of children's innocence evokes the essence of purity and goodness. This purity conflicts with the cruelty and contempt shown through the White Witch's actions, causing her to become an evil figure. The good versus evil archetype that writers use throughout literature has proven to be an effective means of sparking intrigue in audiences. This, combined with the magical setting used by the mysterious Narnia, allows Lewis' work to be so interesting to readers across decades and generations. Using the concept of good versus evil, the children are definitely the good guys in this tale. They try to help the Narnians in difficulty and wish to help Aslan free Narnia from the evil of the White Witches. “Then finally Peter realized it was up to him. He drew his sword and raised it to salute and quickly saying to the others "Come on, compose yourselves", he approached the Lion and said: ... half of the card ...... and matures through history. Upon his arrival in Narnia, he was in a bad mood and had a very devilish personality. “…but Edmund could be mischievous, and on this occasion he was. He sneered and taunted Lucy and kept asking her if she had found any new countries in the other closets throughout the house” (Lewis 14). He wanted to be a "realistic" thinker, which led him to think negatively compared to his brothers. This placed him in an “evil” moralistic point of view. However, after witnessing the Witch's cruelty, she realizes that she doesn't think like her and begins to change moralistic views. After being saved by Aslan, he realizes that he has acted in a negative way and reverses his decision making, resulting in his turning to "good". "Edmund shook hands with each of the others and said to each of them in turn, 'I'm sorry' (Lewis 76).
