Narnia

Ok, so I was reading this article about Narnia online. About the series Chronicles of Narnia which is better known as a movie series than a book series. But u know what, reading the criticisms actually made me angry. Why, for instance do people have to prod into a book and extract meanings out of things that the author never meant a meaning in! Why should Lewis be a woman-hater just because he chose to throw Susan out of Narnia which is kind of an "equals to" heaven.
Hey that is a new thought in itself, is it not? I started writing today with the intention of defending Lewis. But now when I think again, why is Susan excluded? Is it only because she had grown up and gotten interested in the opposite sex and the instruments meant to attract them? Does this not somehow resemble Eve's plight when she is turned out of heaven because she discovered knowledge. Maybe it is parallel, you know. Susan 'discovered' that she is a woman she also realised that there are things called as 'lipstick' or 'theaters' and this knowledge might have led to her doom. So is Aslan being judgemental?!?
Now when I think again, even my dad has the same kind of thougt. He does not like it that my sister is involved with things like 'shopping' or 'beauty salons' or obscure terms like 'manicure and pedicure' ;)
Coming back to Susan, I would like to conclude by sayng that she was thrown out of Narnia; not because of her so-called newly gained knowledge, but because of the loss of her belief. She did not believe in Narnia anymore. Nor did she believe in Aslan. Think again, arent we all the same? When we grow up, do we not lose belief in things that we could only easily believe in when we were kids.. They say that it is when we stop believing that we stop hearing the sledge bell (quote from "The Polar Express")
