Susan Pevensie

Queen Susan the Gentle – Born 1928

In The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe

Susan is the second eldest of four siblings and is the more logical, rational of the four. At the beginning of their adventure into Narnia she was skeptical of everything and everyone and did not want to venture further. She learns that she must trust and have faith in what she is doing. for example her bow, if she has faith that she will hit her target she will. As she and her siblings continue their journey she starts to slowly gain faith in Aslan and Narnia. Her faith becomes truly founded when she believes in Aslan and that he will come back to life, and so he does.

In Prince Caspian

Susan’s journey in Prince Caspian begins differently than her siblings as she seems to be the only one that has acclimatized to living in England after their first adventure in Narnia. Throughout this entire film there are multiple indications that she has begun to grow into a woman. Although she does seem to wonder why she didn’t see Aslan like Lucy did she doesn’t remain stuck on it and instead moves past it. This as well as her flirtation with Caspian indicate that she wants to grow up and potentially leave the world of Narnia behind. 

This journey feels very similar to many children who grow up being taken to church by their parents and have a connection to faith then but lose it when they grow up and become responsible for their own decisions.
