In the book The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, one of the two main characters, Lucy and Mr. Tumnus, help each other out in different ways. This book shows a lot of that. While reading the book, it also showed how close together they are. It almost seemed like they could have been brothers and sisters. Here are some examples showing my thoughts.
My first piece of evidence is when Lucy meets Mr. Tumnus; He takes her to his house and tries to be friends with her. Although, he wasn’t really trying to become friends with her, he was trying to make her like him so he could reveal her to the White Witch. Later on, she realized that he is a very nice person and becomes best friends with him. When Mr. Tumnus was about to make Lucy fall asleep and reveal her, he realized that she wasn’t a bad person at all, and let her free without any trouble. Later on he asked for her forgiveness. “Will you ever forgive me, Lucy?” begged Mr. Tumnus, “Well of course I do, Mr. Tumnus” Lucy said.
Another way that they help each other out is when the White Witch found out that Mr. Tumnus met a Daughter of Adam and Eve and didn’t reveal her, she called him over to her castle and he turned him into stone. When Lucy heard about that, she asked her brothers and sister if they could help her save Mr. Tumnus. When all four siblings went to the White Witch’s castle in Narnia, they went to save Mr. Tumnus and ended up succeeding. Mr. Tumnus thanked all four children for saving him.
My final piece of evidence is when everyone in the town of Narnia, including the children, were fighting the White Witch and her army, Lucy and Mr. Tumnus were basically back to back fighting the enemies. When they were fighting the enemies, they were close together, and not separating at all. When the battle was over and Narnia won, the children had to go back to the house. Lucy and Mr. Tumnus were so sad, but there was nothing they could do about it. That showed how close together they were, even though he was going to reveal her in the beginning. It also shows how much they care about each other.
Those are my examples showing how Lucy and Mr. Tumnus helped each other out in different ways and how it also showed the relationship between each other. Thank you for reading my essay, and I hope you enjoyed it.
