"That's what I don't understand, Mr. Beaver," said Peter. "I mean isn't the Witch herself human?"
"She'd like us to believe it," said Mr. Beaver, "and it's on that that she bases her claim to be Queen. But she's no Daughter of Eve.

And on the other she comes of the giants. No, no, there isn't a drop of real human blood in the Witch."
"That's why she's bad all through, Mr. Beaver," said Mrs. Beaver.
"True enough, Mrs. Beaver," replied he. "There may be two views about humans (meaning no offence to the present company), but there's no two views about things that look like humans and aren't."
Did you know that Lilth was Adam's first wife in Genesis?
