I would like to point out that some of whats in the Chronicles of Narnia could be compared not just to Christianity but to King Aurthur and his golden reign.
I was thinking how Guinivere and Susan seems suspciously alike, Susan's love affair with Prince Rabadash nearly destroyed Narnia, just like Guinivere destroyed Aurthur's realm with Lancelot.
Another striking comparision is that both Guinivere and Susan's sexuality and vanity to a degree turned them away from their country's and kings.
Of course Susan is much more pure then Guinivere, and her character is not purely Guinivere they seem somewhat allegorical when both are in all their glories as great lovelly Queens.
While we can not say anything definent about Susan, one might point out that Queen Guinivere in the end of the golden age repented, and lived out her days in a nunnery.
Just something to think about.
