Okay but, like, Child Me didn't know this until she was fifteen because I grew up in an area where everything was so Christian you didn't notice when shit was stealth Christianity because it was Normal.

Now that I'm a grown-up pagan is frustrates an angers me that something so good is all a religious allegory for Good Christian Kids Who Do What God Aslan Says Will Go To Heaven Narnia While That One Chick Who Liked Dressing Up And Looking Nice And Being Not Stereotypically Christian Housewife-like Doesn't Get To. (Seriously, fuck the treatment Susan got in the end.)

I thought it was more because she stopped believing in Narnia?
I was more disturbed by all those people who didn't even know Narnia existed (including their parents!) dying in that damn train wreck. That and apparently everybody in heaven does nothing but run and eat fruit. Big fucking deal. If I died and Heaven turned out to be some cheap weight loss spa I'd be damn mad. You'd think a writer as imaginative and devout as C.S. Lewis could think up a better heaven.

You skipped English class the week they covered allegories, didn't you?

[greghousesgf]

I know what an allegory is. I also know doing nothing but running and eating fruit is fucking dull for an hour, let alone eternity.

yes, Susan referred to Narnia as 'those silly childhood games' or something of the sort so Lucy's snip about her wearing lipstick wasn't what excluded her, it was her turning away from Aslan and Narnia. And she wasn't on the train so her story wasn't done. When one of his fans wrote to him, upset about Susan, Lewis wrote back that he hoped she would find her way back and I think that would have been a fascinating story.

But the whole 'and everything up to now had only been the title page of their grand adventure, school was out and the holiday had begun' was hardly 'and they lived happily ever after eating fruit'. It was that everything they'd done until now, all those adventures, were only pale notions of what was to come that was higher and further and realer than anything they'd known before. The last lines of The Last Battle are all about the Story really, finally beginning. Which if I'm going to pick an idea for heaven, sounds like a pretty exciting one to me.
