Line 168:
** The whole "Carroll was a pedophile" thing has been proven as false since ages ago and has absolutely no basis in fact.
* The seven ''Chronicles of [[Narnia]]'' have been claimed to be [[An Aesop]] focusing on one of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]]. Just goes to show that this trope applies even when there's plenty of actual, valid symbolism, allegory, and "supposition" to choose from. And a book was just published saying that each novel corresponds with one of the seven heavens of the medieval cosmos.
** [[C. S. Lewis|CS Lewis]] has specified how the books compare with Christianity: "''The Magician's Nephew'' tells the Creation and how evil entered Narnia, ''The Lion etc.'' -- the Crucifixion and Resurrection, ''Prince Caspian'' -- restoration of the true religion after a corruption, ''The Horse and His Boy'' -- the calling and conversion of the heathen, ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'' -- the spiritual life (especially in Reepicheep), ''The Silver Chair'' -- the continuing war against the powers of darkness, ''The Last Battle'' -- the coming of Antichrist (the ape). The end of the world and the last judgement." ([https://web.archive.org/web/20120206070200/http://atheism.about.com/od/cslewisnarnia/a/chroniclenarnia.htm Source])
** It's safe to say, however, that The Deplorable Word of ''The Magician's Nephew'' is a nuclear metaphor, as Aslan says that humans are working on weapons just as dangerous. And that Earth will soon have [[Red Scare|rulers]] just as [[Those Wacky Nazis|disinterested in human life]] as Jadis. This is pretty overt. [[Word of God]] confirms.
* The Greek poet and Literature Nobel Prize winner Odysseas Elytis once attended a celebration in his honor, where samples of his work were read and then had their meaning analyzed in detail by distinguished scholars. When his turn came to speak and thank everybody, he put his tongue in his cheek and gave special credit to the scholars for finding more depth to his poetry than even he had thought of.
