Since the beginning of man's first ability to articulate his thoughts into words, he has started traditions that surpassed all written text. These traditions included passing down stories from one generation to the next in hopes of passing on a hidden moral principle to our children in a memorable and entertaining way. As society progressed and developed over the years and thoughts became words, words turned into stories, and in some cases stories. became novels. In modern life, novels can be transformed using symbolism and archetypes through the art of cinema. In the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, just before Lucy's first discovery of the magical land of Narnia, we see her opening the door of a beautiful wardrobe. When the door opens, three white balls roll out, symbolizing the path of good, humanity's free will, and evil. Through the use of symbolism, primarily the three cue balls, the film depicts the choice of all humans to follow the path of humanity's free will by choosing to become more like Christ, or to follow the wicked and d 'to be enveloped. in the dark. Due to its lack of color, white is a symbol of purity in many cultures around the world. The color white is just a reflection of all the colors in the visible spectrum of light. For this reason, the first cue ball represents Aslan, who is the symbol of hope in the fictional land of Narnia. The lamp post is representative of Aslan; this represents the eternal flame symbolizing hope and serves as a simple reminder that no matter how dark the night, hope will be there to light the path for those lost in darkness. The relationship between fire and the middle of the paper and darkness becomes an individual decision. Works Cited Campbell, Mike. “English Names (Edmund).” Behind the Name: Mike Campbell, 2012. Web.
