Characters

Digory is the protagonist (good guy) in the novel. Digory is living in London with his Aunt Letty and Uncle Andrew as they take care of his mother, who is very sick, and while his father is in India.

Slide 14 - Slide

Polly Plummer

Polly is brave and feisty. She is at times smarter and more courageous than Digory. In the time period in which the novel is set, girls would have been considered weaker, but Polly proves to be close to Digory's equal; she is also a loyal friend to him.

Slide 15 - Slide

Uncle Andrew Ketterly

Uncle Andrew is a magician, but not as illustrious or powerful a magician as he imagines himself to be. He has directed much of his magic skills towards experimentation rather than exploration of new worlds. He had a fairy godmother, so he says, and he values this heritage.

Slide 16 - Slide

Queen Jadis/ The Witch

The Queen is the Antagonist (bad guy) and embodiment of evil in the novel; she is the antagonist. She has a history of reducing anyone who so much as disagrees with her to dust. Although irritated that Digory, a "common child," has broken the spell and awoken her, she nonetheless hopes that this event will turn out to be her opportunity to conquer other worlds.

Slide 17 - Slide

Aslan

Aslan, the king of Narnia, is the embodiment of good and is a God-like creator figure. Aslan has often been compared to Jesus by those who recognize the Narnia series as an allegory of Christianity. Aslan loves his subjects and places absolute faith and trust in them.

Slide 18 - Slide

The Cabby/ King Frank

The Cabby is a forthright and decent man who drives a cab. He is upstanding, cares for his horse, and is committed to his wife. He is surprisingly unruffled by the events he sees unfolding in Narnia and is not frightened by Aslan. Aslan makes the Cabby into the king of Narnia, and he is thereafter known as King Frank.

Slide 19 - Slide

Strawberry/ Fledge

Strawberry is the Cabby's horse, and although he pulls a heavy cab behind him, He is a bridge between humans and the animals in Narnia, where he is immediately at home. When Aslan makes him a winged horse, his name is changed to Fledge. On the journey to fetch the silver apple, Fledge is courageous and helps keeps both Polly and Digory safe.
