The juxtaposition of who Edmund has become with who Eustace currently is fits perfectly into the narrative. It has the best character development and characters in the series. My Favorite: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader I just wanted to respond to some things you guys said first. I'm going to comment more later about my own favorite and least favorite Narnia books. And I think we can all relate to the character of Alice at some point. One of my favorite movies is Disney's animated Alice in Wonderland (I guess I'm in a Disneyesque mood today) which some people find too crazy to be enjoyable. I can sympathize with Glumpuddle about being teased for loving 2001: A Space Odyssey. Most of his dialogue is very bland and functional. But the other characters are just so much more charismatic than Caspian in latter parts of the book that he feels more like a prop. In the last third of The Horse and his Boy, Aravis is passive but I still really like her. Since there is a prejudice against passive protagonists, I'd like to say that I DON'T mind that he's a passive character. But Disney Princesses are probably the best examples from popular culture of protagonists who feel weirdly discontented with their lives and feel like they were made for something more.)īut I feel like during the last third of the story, and even in the middle, he just fades into the background. (Ugh! Forgive me for making that comparison, C.S. The whole part about him not feeling at home in the Telmarine world and wishing he could live in Old Narnia is really emotional, the whole Disney Princess-ness of it all. At the beginning of the book I really like Caspian's character. Is it weird that I agree with both Gymfan and Glumpuddle about the character of Caspian (in the book bearing his name?) LOL.
