Story Setting

The story begins in Professor Digory Kirke's house, which is in countryside. The main characters, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, had to flee from the World War 2, and that's why they came to Digory Kirke's house. While they are playing, Lucy accidentally goes into the magical wardrobe which is connected to Narnia land. That's how these children discovers and have an adventure to the Narnia land which has talking animals and marvelous creatures unlike Earth. Lucy first meets a creature called Tumnus, well actually Mr.Tumnus. He introduces about the Narnia world, and what's going on in there. Then Lucy tells about the Narnia world back to Professor's house to her siblings, but nobody believes. However, Edmund, Lucy's brother also finds Narnia world through the wardrobe, but he goes into White witch's tim. After, Lucy's another siblings, Peter and Susan also comes to Narnia land and fights against the white witch with Lucy. Edmund confuses which side he has to be, but he finally notices that white witch is an enemy, and joins his family. The word 'World War 2' is important in here, because we can know when did this happen. Well, not exactly but we can still make an inference that it's between 1939 and 1945 which is 20th century. The Narnia land is also important setting, because almost everything happens there, and ends there; such as the children comes to Narnia land and overcomes hardships like having a battle with white witch & monsters. They have happy ending at the end; Aslan, the king of Narnia kills the witch, and Peter & Susan becomes king and queen. Lastly, all of them finds the wardrobe again, and goes back to professor Digory Kirke's house.

White witch

The White witch, is one of main characters in book called 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. She is a self-proclaimed queen, also means she's very selfish. She always wears white dress, and brings wand with her every time. Because she's a witch, she directs all the monsters, I mean evil monsters, so the monsters follows wherever she goes. When she has to go long way, she rides a big sledge, but monster drives it. She is a queen never nice to any people. Well, sometimes she becomes nice, to pretend that she's a very kind person. Her kindness is fake. She kills the person who she doesn't like, with her wand, which means she's evil. This awful queen is a person who never let Narnia people to have spring, summer and autumn in Narnia, which means she only wants winter exist in Narnia world. Some people might have questions like 'wow, then you can have 4 christmases in a year!'. But it's totally wrong. No christmas during any winter! That's white witch's rule. However, there is things that this queen afraid of. Aslan, the honest king of Narnia, and people called 'two sons of Adam' & 'two duaghters of Adam', who comes to Narnia to wipe out the dreadful white witch with Aslan. There, the war begins. Humans against white witch. However, the white witch has wand that makes everything stone, so it becomes hard to win. In conclusion, White witch, is enemy of everyone(well, not her followers).
