Peter Pevensie

King Peter the Magnificent – Born 1927

In The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe

Peter is the eldest of the four siblings and is shown to be the leader of their group. He learns over the length of the film to have courage in the face of danger. He slowly gathers more and more courage over the duration of the film. This can be seen especially in the scenes where he faces the wolves of the Ice queen. Eventually peter gained his courage fully when he killed the wolf leader.  He also develops a great faith in Aslan, his plan and will as a divine being; the saviour of Narnia.

In Prince Caspian

Peter’s journey of the second film is very different than that in the first. He seems to have lost some of his blind faith in Aslan. He struggles in this film with the fact that Lucy was the one to have seen Aslan first and is upset that he, the high king of Narnia, wouldn’t have. He relates to the theme of seeking God. Peter struggles immensely with the lack of physical proof he is given from Aslan, a struggle also seen in the biblical story of “doubting Thomas.” Peter also represents the idea of Christian knighthood.
