All of the people and animals including those who had previously died gather outside the barn and are judged by Aslan. The animals who have been loyal to Aslan or the morality upheld by Narnians join Aslan in Aslan's Country.
The animals who have opposed or deserted him become ordinary animals and vanish to an unknown place that not even C. Lewis knows where they went. The Black Dwarfs who unlike the Red Dwarfs have lost faith in Aslan are unable to see Aslan's Country, certain that they are still inside an ordinary stable.
When Lucy asks Aslan to help them, he tells her that he will show her what he can and what he cannot do. He then growls at the Black Dwarfs, and makes food magically appear in their hands.
This fails to convince them: they think that the growling is a machine and that the food is only what would normally be found in a stable. Aslan tells the children that the Black Dwarfs shut themselves out from him, and therefore cannot be reached, much like Uncle Andrew in The Magician's Nephew.
Aslan then commands Peter to shut the door on Narnia, and he leads them into his country, a platonic ideal of Narnia. He greets Emeth, a devout yet kind Tash-worshipping Calormene, telling him that "I and Tash are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him. Digory, Polly, Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace, and Jill learn that they have died, or rather, passed into Aslan's country, which is more real than the "Shadowlands" to use Lewis's own word from which they have come.
The theory that the figure of Aslan may have been inspired by a mysterious lion which appears and disappears suddenly at key moments in the novel The Place of the Lion , written by Lewis's close friend Charles Williams, was specifically denied by Lewis in a paper published later in his life. Although Aslan can be read as an original character, parallels exist with Christ. In particular, Aslan's sacrifice and subsequent resurrection parallel Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.
When he first appeared at the end of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader , he looked like a lamb, which is also a symbol of Christ, who is frequently described throughout the New Testament as being "The Lamb of God". According to the author, Aslan is not an allegorical portrayal of Christ, but rather a suppositional incarnation of Christ Himself:. If Aslan represented the immaterial Deity, he would be an allegorical figure. In reality however, he is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question, 'What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?
This interpretation is related to J. Tolkien's concept of "secondary creation" expounded in his essay "On Fairy-Stories", reflecting discussions Lewis and Tolkien had in the Inklings group. Aslan's words to the Calormene in The Last Battle "I take to me the services which thou hast done to [the false god] See Emeth for details. Because he underwent death without being guilty of any iniquity. Why a lion in his passion? Because in being slain, he slew death.
Why a lamb in his resurrection? Because his innocence is everlasting. Why a lion in his resurrection? Because everlasting also is his might. Revelation states "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
The first visual dramatization of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe , broadcast on British television in , presented a bipedal Aslan played by Bernard Kay. In the Focus on the Family radio adaptations, he is portrayed by David Suchet. Girish Mahajan Editor Im a travel junky who loves to gain knowledge coz u know knowledge is power.

I don't think we can really say he had a mother, since he was never born in the world, but rather he takes the form of a Lion when he's there. Jesus was actually conceived and born in our world, so his mother was Mary, but Aslan? I don't think so. Not in Narnia. In the book and movie Prince Caspian the idea of a mother is somewhat hinted at, but I suppose that can be debated.
The Narnians mention two different stars in their mythology. One is "Tarva", the "Lord of Victory". This would be Aslan. The other is "Alambil", the "Lady of Peace". One could say this is Aslan's mother. Mary, is seen as the Lady of Peace in "our world".
It isn't a huge jump to conclude that Alambil is the mother of Tavra. Let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, Hebrews I'm going top follow along the lines that he didn't need a mother I imagined him to be always around, and that he calls the Emperor over the Sea his father only because he's beneath him in power. I always thought he represented Jesus and that the emperor is God the father, and i think he doesn't have a mother.

Let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, Hebrews Founder of the Switchfoot Club. Co-founder of the newly restored Edmund Club! Aslan has a long talk with Edmund, and while no one hears what he says, Aslan's words clearly have a positive effect. Edmund apologizes to the others and then keeps his mouth shut. A messenger from the Witch approaches and requests that Aslan meet the Witch to discuss an undisclosed topic. Aslan agrees. We find out that Witch has asked Aslan to meet her so they can discuss Edmund.
The Witch reminds Aslan of the "Deep Magic" of the Emperor Beyond the Sea, which says that any treachery committed in Narnia is punishable by death at the Witch's hands. Edmund is a traitor, so he must forfeit his life to her. Aslan admits that the Witch's words are correct. He then calls the Witch aside and has an intense and private discussion with her. When it is finished, the Witch looks elated and Aslan appears gloomy.
