December Meeting


During this meeting, we connected with one another, shared our reading experiences, and engaged in a thoughtful discussion about the book using the questions outlined below:


  • "Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again." At what point an adult starts enjoying fairy tales again?
  • Which of the siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, or Lucy—do you relate to most and why?
  • The wardrobe is an iconic symbol of discovery. If you could open a magical door to another world, what kind of world would you want to find?

  • C.S. Lewis created a world of good vs. evil, but also filled it with moral complexity. Were there moments where you felt characters were morally complex?
  • Edmund’s journey of betrayal and redemption is central to the story. What are your thoughts on how he changes? Have you ever witnessed a transformation like that in real life?
  • The book is deeply symbolic. Which symbols and allegories did you recognise in the book/movie?

  • "If you’ve been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you, you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness." How does this line resonate with you emotionally?
  • "Always winter, but never Christmas." This is one of the most memorable lines in the book. What does it symbolise about the White Witch’s reign and the loss of hope?
  • "Safe? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you." (Mr. Beaver about Aslan). What does this quote reveal about the nature of leadership?
"If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream”
