Notes
- Abstract:
- This thesis examines two twentieth century children’s series, The Chronicles of
Narnia written by C.S Lewis and the His Dark Materials Trilogy, written by Philip
Pullman. The aim of this thesis is to analyze each author’s treatment of the story of the
Fall of Man. In order to examine Pullman and Lewis’ Fall narratives, I look at each
author’s alternate Fall narratives and analyze the use of the roles of the tempter and the
fruit within these narratives. Additionally, I examine each author’s use of innocence and
maturity as a metaphor for the Fall. These two parallel analyses help me prove that C.S
Lewis portrays the Fall as an unfortunate fall from grace and a loss for humanity in his
novels. On the contrary, this parallel analysis of Pullman’s treatment of the Fall narrative
and his use of maturation as a metaphor for the Fall is evidence for Pullman’s portrayal of
the Fall as an event that should be viewed positively and not as a loss.
