Jadis: The White Witch

In The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe

Jadis is the villain of the movie and can easily be compared to as the devil. From the first moment we meet her, she appears to Edmund as this nice bright, good queen, but as the bible says even the devil disguises himself as an angel of light. 

And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

2nd Corinthians 11:14-15

She also makes false promises to Edmund that he could be like a king, tempting and misleading him. This can be compared to when the serpent convinced Adam and Eve that they could be like God if they ate the fruit of the forbidden tree..

For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.

Genesis 3:5

She also knows all of the laws of Narnia like the devil and demons know the bible. As mentioned in a proverb from the Shakespear play The Merchant of Venice, “the devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. Even things that are good in themselves can be twisted to serve bad purposes.”

In the end Jadis ends up being defeated by Aslan in the final fight; proving the Christian ideal that good will triumph over evil.

Jadis, The White Witch

In Prince Caspian

She makes a brief reappearance in the second film when two of her old followers attempt to tempt Caspian and then Peter into bringing her back from the dead in order to fight King Miraz, the bad guy of the second film.

Her appearance in this movie is short lived as her image is stabbed by Edmund and the spell is broken.
