| EC's Dear Abby- talk to me! Full Member   Gender: Female Orientation: Mostly into girls Out Status: Closet is getting a little crowded Location: Not even a dot on the Australian map Age: 17 Posts: 1,096 Join Date: Nov 2011 |  Why is it always Narnia? Why do people always use Narnia references in their out status if they're not out at all?! What's wrong with Oz? Or Wonderland? Honestly, why is it always Narnia?

Of course I much prefer The Silver Chair for this lovely bit of dialogue: "Gay," said Puddleglum with a deep sigh. "That's what we've got to be. Gay." "All right. Gay's the word," said Scrubb. "Now, if we could only get someone to open this door. While we're fooling about and being gay, we've got to find out all we can about this castle."

 Unsure if the author was ignorant at the time since gay used to mean happy. Or if the author meant a possible double entendre. He was Christian, I've read some of his more theological works in school, but from reading his other books he was actually quite light hearted and seemed ahead of his time. | ||

Well from the same chapter: "She made love to everyone - the grooms, the porters, the housemaids, the ladies-in-waiting, and the elderly giant lords whose hunting days were long past them. She submitted to being kissed and pawed about" (Ok well it's pretty obvious that Lewis actually meant it as the entirely platonic, friend-version of love but it's still fun to take it out of context) He does have a few conflicting messages in those books. Considering the entire reason they were written was so he could rewrite the bible in different words and constantly push Christian values, I always found it very strange that the resident wise old man of the Narnia books (professor Digory Kirk), who was quickly established as a very trustworthy person, was always complaining about people not being logical. Logic is the anithesis of faith, after all. | ||
