The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian White Witch Scene
This is one of the most gripping scenes we've ever watched. After Peter's
blunder and the two of them blaming each other for the results, Caspian is
deceived by one of the traitors. Seeking revenge on his uncle, Caspian is tricked
into seeking help to defeat his uncle. He comes face to face the White Witch's ghost,
seeking him to let her out of her bonds. She promises to help him, but it will come
with a price. Caspian considers doing it, when Peter rushes in with his siblings
and stands off against Jadis.
She offers to help him, and since Peter is so desperate to prove himself at this moment,
he stares at her as if considering! But before he can give in, Edmund destroys the ghost.
Edmund is reminding them of what happened at this very Stone Table, where Aslan
took Edmund's place after he betrayed his family! Peter seems to have lost sight of
that, and Edmund's reaction to both Peter and Caspian is firm but very little is said.
Edmund is reminding them that Aslan's sacrifice meant something, to him, and
that this is like tossing it aside! And when the broken ice shatters, they see a walled
sculpture of Aslan.
This is gripping and powerful! Scripture says that "Satan disguises himself as an
angel of light", but also "prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may
devour." And, he is more than glad to give us a hand when we are in a very
vulnerable position, especially if he has been able to steal our joy and able to
plant seeds of doubt in our minds against the Lord. In this allegory, Edmund
serves as a reminder of what Jesus did on the cross for us, and how we can
lose sight of that, but that it meant something! And, when they see Aslan's
face, it also illustrates that we must always look back to God, no matter
what and that He IS there waiting!
