people, and to save the life of Edmond, who could be sentenced to death for being a traitor. The White Witch, while also incredibly powerful and cunning, is representative of evil, selfishness, temptation, and obsession with power. Upon meeting young and resentful Edmond, The White Witch quickly realizes that he can be used as a pawn in her battle to control all of Narnia, and to forever plunge the land in endless Winter and despair. Aslan, on the other hand, seeks to aid the children in becoming closer to one another, and sacrifices himself so that Edmond may live. Aslan, however, is able to see beyond his own suffering and knows that ultimately the Good in Narnia will prevail over the Evil. The White Witch is incredibly arrogant and fully confident that her ploy to control the land will prevail. When she does not succeed, her power is instantly diminished, for it is not rooted in love or any kind of enduring strength. Alsan's love and pureness is so powerful that he is able to rise from the dead after being executed by the White Witch, because his power is rooted in eternal love and goodness.
