Owen Barfield was another man who studied C.S. Lewis’ theories and ideologies. Barfield notes that Lewis used longing through the imagery that he would create in his stories (1989). This imagery is very evident in the storyline of The Chronicles of Narnia. Barfield reveals that there is a symbolic significance that this longing is connected to through the landscape and symbols in the writing (1989). The fictitious place of Narnia is symbol in itself of longing because it is an escape of reality into a different world that was created by a man.
