In the story “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis, I think the book revolves around trust. Right now in the book, there are many problems and it seems that they never would have happened if Edmund trusted Lucy in the beginning of the story. It all started when Edmund didn’t believe Lucy about the wardrobe. Then he met the White Witch and got tricked by her into helping her and now he doesn’t know what to do next.
At first when Edmund didn’t believe Lucy, all the other siblings came into the wardrobe and checked for Narnia just to humor her. Then we found out that the wardrobe only works when it’s raining outside. Lucy was right and she knew that but Edmund and all the other siblings didn’t believe her and though she was lying. So after much discussion between the two, Edmund didn’t want to fight about it anymore so he decided to try it thinking he was right even though he wasn’t. Edmund’s perspective of the story was much worse than Lucy’s because the whole time Lucy knew she was right while Edmund thought he was right but actually wasn’t. Then, just to be spiteful, Edmund started teasing Lucy at every moment he got, just to be spiteful.
After Edmund finally jumped into the wardrobe he discovered what Narnia was. Suddenly, when he was just walking and discovering the different parts of Narnia, someone, not a normal person, came up to him. She was the White Witch of Narnia. All that she did was bribe people to be with her and always try to get people to do their best to protect her. In this case the White Witch bribed Edmund with turkish delight and got him inseparable from it and to keep Edmund on her side she kept on giving him more turkish delight. By doing this it has pulled Edmund into many more bad “traps.”
Overall if Edmund just believed Lucy about the wardrobe he wouldn’t have been caught up in all the crazy problems ,and he also wouldn’t have gotten all the turkish delight that he can’t get enough of.
