Favorite Character-Lauren Brooks

Favorite Character-Lauren Brooks
My favorite character from the Narnia books is Edmund. I know a lot of people don’t really like Edmund, but I think he is the child that has the most depth and realism to his character. When you look at Peter, Susan, and Lucy the only one that has a lot of depth and has a main part in the plot of the different stories is Lucy. Peter and Susan are very one dimensional and lack a lot of growth and development of Lewis’s part. When looking at Edmund you see real development due to his part in betraying his family and then in his forgiveness from Azlan. In many different books after that incident its effects are mentioned in different books, for example when the group doesn’t believe that Lucy was seeing Azlan Edmund felt especially bad about not believing her because of before when he new she was telling the truth, but refrained from letting the others know. I also like Edmund because he doesn’t have a real defining place in the lineage, Peter is the eldest, Susan is the eldest girl, and Lucy is the baby, and Edmund is just there. I think that might be part of the reason why the betrayal was so attractive to him in the first place
