The modern morality tail of how to stay good for Christmas. Ashley Beall of Make It Modern Podcast (@MIM_Podcast) joins me to discuss the redemption arcs of one of KidLit's biggest fuckbois, Edmund Pevensie.
Summary of THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE
During World War II, the four Pevensie children– Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy– are send to a strange country home to wait out the war. While there, Lucy discovers a magic wardrobe that leads to a parallel universe called Narnia. She tells her siblings about it, and they do not believe her; but one day Edmund– the bitterest, shittiest sibling– finds the doorway and enters Narnia himself, pre-emptively befriending the evil White Witch who is trying to take over the entire country. Peter, Susan, and Lucy all enter Narnia in an attempt to save Edmund, with the help of Jesus, I mean, Aslan. After they win and Edmund apologizes, the four siblings become the royalty of Narnia, and grow to adulthood before exiting the wardrobe, only to find themselves children again in England.
