Susan DOES make it to Heaven

Postby SPop6 » May 16th, 2008, 8:40 am

Ummmm.... I think people are failing to realize that Lewis pretty much tells us that Susan makes it into paradise at the end. All of the other children die and Lewis himself stated that "she might make it in on her own right." Also, there's the VERY famous Narnia quote "once a king or queen of Narnia, ALWAYS a king or queen of Narnia." So, Susan DOES make it to Paradise it in the end run, but just not right away. Her character shows how someone can be led from the light, but she does find her way back... the most famous Narnia quote of all time garuntees us that. Hopefully Disney will show a scene of her making it into heaven... I think it will grant closure to millions of fans.

SPop6, you're opening a can of worms there, because it isn't clearly set out by Lewis that she does get to the New Narnia, in fact, he clearly left it up to the reader to decide. Personally, I'd like to believe she does return, and I've written a poetic response on this issue (as I know others have also written response to it), but really the question is there without a clear answer.

It's like in the Bible where Paul writes about all the things that can't separate us from the love of God, the word "ourselves" does not appear in that list - because nothing else can separate us from the love of God except ourselves.
