Finally, what's done cannot be undone, and Edmund sees the direct results of what he has done. (1) First-Edmund learns that actions have consequences. But from my perspective, he learns these lessons: The Witch says that the next person to mention Aslan will be killed.Įdmund learns a good number of lessons during the course of this chapter-some of them pretty clear, and others perhaps a bit more debatable. The dwarf points out that this is no thaw, it is Spring, and it is Aslan's doing. Very soon, there is more green than white flowers emerge and birds sing. Eventually the sleigh cannot go on, so the Witch tells her drawf to tie Edmund's hands, and they will continue their journey by walking. They continue on, but the snow is starting to melt off the ground and trees. Edmund feels sorry for someone other than himself for the first time in this story. The White Witch is enraged when she hears that Father Christmas has come, and turns all of them into stone. During their journey, they come across some animals who are enjoying food and drink given to them by Father Christmas. Edmund quickly realizes that he had been wrong about the Witch and which side he should be on. The White Witch, her slave dwarf, and Edmund drive off in her sleigh. The White Witch orders Maugrim to go to the Beaver's house and kill anything he finds there. After the Witch summons her sleigh, Edmund asks for Turkish Delight, and receives only stale bread and water. This chapter returns to Edmund and the Witch.
