Quote #7
"Don't talk like a grown-up," said Lucy, stamping her foot. "I didn't think I saw him. I saw him." (9.63)
Argh, Prince Caspian can't make up its mind. First, the children had to act like adults. Now, Susan thinking like an adult is a bad thing. What do you think: is this novel wishy-washy or is something else going on here?
Quote #8
"And so is your Majesty," said Peter. "I haven't come to take your place, you know, but to put you into it." (12.77)
Peter has assumed his adult position as the High King of Narnia. Now instead of going to school, he's going to act as a kingly teacher for the young Caspian.
Quote #9
"I—I don't think I do, Sir," said Caspian. "I'm only a kid."
"Good," said Aslan. "If you had felt yourself sufficient, it would have been a proof that you were not. Therefore, under us and under the High King, you shall be King of Narnia, Lord of Cair Paravel, and Emperor of the Lone Islands." (15.5)
Caspian's youthful inexperience means he's the perfect king for Narnia. Adults need not apply for the position; Narnia is not an equal opportunity employer.
