Timmay said:It is not a true allegory by any means...Lewis himself even said so.
His intention was to show what God and Jesus may be like if there were in fact other worlds besides our own.
As I said before, it is not intended to be a true allegory.

Pongo said:Actually, his real intent was writing an entertaining fairy tale for his goddaughter. Technically, it wasn't supposed to be an allegory at all. But his previous religious writings made people look into it deeper. And there are parallels. I don't think Lewis meant for there to be any, but there are.
Awesome books. Awesome movie. I love CS Lewis.
Letter to Mrs. Hook 29 December 1958-
If Aslan represented the imaterial Deity in the same way in which Giant Despair represents Despair (in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress), he would be an allegorical figure. In reality, 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?"
