Eric Morgan- Turkish Delights

In The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe sin is prevalent. Edmund is the second of the four children to enter Narnia and he is the first to have struggles with the temptations of the new world. He immediately has a disadvantage in the world because right after he enters he encounters the Lord of evil/sin, The white witch. During their first conversation the witch essentially tempts Edmund with anything that he would like. Edmund chooses the delicious Turkish delight as the thing he wants the most. This was the most devastating decision he made the whole story and because of it he turned against the people who he loved the most, his siblings. I thought this was a great myth of sin. This showed the reality of its power and control over peoples lives. Sin in the world causes people to do incredibly selfish things for the most stupid reasons, just like Edmund. He chooses a food over the love of his siblings and shows the devastating power of evil or sin over ones life. Now that I understand myth I can understand this to be a myth as opposed to an allegory because it shows the reality of sin as opposed to being exactly the same as it.
