1. C. S. Lewis mentioned that he envisioned images of his stories and wrote based on what he visualized. How crucial are the scene descriptions—the imagery—to the success of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?

2. Some critics categorize The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as modern fantasy, akin to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, where the author constructs a world predominantly from his own imagination. Others label it as a moralistic fairy tale, similar to "Beauty and the Beast" and "Snow White," because it appears to impart a moral lesson and incorporates characters like unicorns from traditional folktales. How would you classify the novel? Why?

3. Some individuals argue that the novel is excessively violent and that Peter and Edmund's involvement in battles gives readers negative impressions about resolving the world's issues. Do you agree?

4. The Last Battle, the concluding volume in The Chronicles of Narnia, received the 1956 Carnegie Medal for the best children's book published in the United Kingdom the previous year. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe did not receive this accolade. Compare the two books. Which one is superior? Why?

5. Authors sometimes utilize light and dark to symbolize good and evil, or knowledge and ignorance. How does Lewis employ this technique?
