Lucy Believes and Trusts
In the book “Prince Caspian” by C.S. Lewis, the author illustrates that having faith and trust in something that is unseen, could be probably perhaps one of the most difficult struggles everyone of us could face in life. The character of Lucy, who is the youngest of the siblings, and her naïve innocence and her unwavering faith is the unexplainable, it makes her the central figure within the key process which the author tries to unfold within the pages of this book. Lucy makes us understand that belief and faith within the individual’s soul is unforeseen has great consequences, but, the same time the greater rewards are observed. She shows the strongest discipleship in following Aslan’s direction despite that the others’ opinion on her decisions.
The process started with Trumpkin and the children were trying to make their way to Glasswater Creek. Due to the fact that the area didn’t look like it had to be (it did not correspond to the vision when the children had been there before, they lost their way). Lucy saw Aslan in the distance and tells the others that they might follow the path, but they could not see Aslan. Edmond considered Lucy remembering her insights from the past. The others did not agree to that and take a vote deciding to follow the path they had been already going. It had become quite difficult for them and missing wording realized that they should have gone in the direction Lucy wanted them to follow. As a result, they all decided to backtrack and started over on their journey in the direction Aslan had tried to show them. It goes without saying that Lucy’s faithful belief is perfectly depicted within the passage. She believed in Aslan and trusted her feelings more than any other.
During the night, when all the children and Trumpkin were sleeping, Aslan called to Lucy telling her that she needed to wake up the others and insisted on the fact of their following her to the path Aslan had provided a direction on. Again, the others did not believe in what Lucy was saying about Asland and his words as they could not see Aslan. The next morning, however, they decided to follow Lucy’s (and the same time Aslan’s advice) after she told them all that she would follow Aslan’s directions with or without them (We could observe her faithful beliefs in the Lion’s words that she even could leave her mates and relatives to follow his advice). Edmond was the first to see Aslan’s shadow because he was the one who did believe in Lucy’s insights and visions. Eventually, the others began to see Aslan’s shadow and as a result they started to trust Lucy. This perfectly illustrates that even belief of a small girl could overcome the difficulty of the majority disbelief. Lucy was faithful to Aslan and due to her beliefs the others were inspired and saw the shadow of the Lion
With the renewed belief and faith, they followed Aslan down the correct path. Aslan sent Peter, Edmond, and Trumpkin ahead in order to assist Prince Caspian in his hardships during his battle against Miraz. Meanwhile, Susan and Lucy stayed with Aslan and experience the woods coming alive. It goes without saying that Lucy’s belief gave the new forces to the youngsters in their will to improve the situation
The children’s trust in one another, and eventually in Aslan, grew throughout this process in “Prince Caspian”. The older children learned to believe that Lucy’s keen insight would lead them along the correct path and to the goal that Aslan had laid out before them. The whole novel as well as the previous one perfectly illustrates the theme of faithful belief of Lucy. She is the key hero within the plot as her intensions to make the others to believe her are not left unnoticed.
