Aslan  Aslan protects Shasta during his travels, in fact since Shasta was a baby, but doesn't show himself until the end of the book and metes out punishment when he thinks its deserved, such as clawing at Aravis's shoulder because the servant who had helped her had been whipped for doing it. Why doesn't Aslan make himself know earlier? Does Aravis deserve her punishment? How does this compare with the punishment received by Rabadash? While travelling from Cair Paravel to Aslan's How, Lucy sees Aslan but fails to persuade the others that they should follow him because they don't believe she really saw him. Aslan tells Lucy that its her fault that so much time was lost by taking the detour. Is this fair, or too harsh a judgement? Why doesn't he put some of the blame on the others? We hope you'll enjoy discussing Aslan, please feel free to use these points and questions just as a starting point or bring your own observations and questions. We're looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
