How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"You have listened to fears, child," said Aslan. "Come, let me breathe on you. Forget them. Are you brave again?" (11.44)
Here's a quote to link the themes of religion and courage. As with many of Lewis's works, the two seem inseparable. Aslan's breath can represent many things: God's words or a Godly vitality. But we can't forget about the bravery drawn from them.
Quote #8
"Great Heaven!" exclaimed Miraz, jumping to his feet. "Are you also bewitched today? Do you think I am looking for grounds to refuse it? You might as well call me coward to my face." (13.54)
Unlike Peter, Miraz takes his courage too far and into the territory of foolhardiness. It's not about not being a coward. It's about being brave enough to do what is necessary. The duel? Yeah, totally unnecessary for Miraz.
Quote #9
"I say," said Edmund as they walked away, "I suppose it is all right. I mean, I suppose you can beat him?"
"That's what I'm fighting him to find out," said Peter. (13.81-82)
For Peter, the duel is necessary. His army will get whooped something bad if they go toe to toe with the Telmarines. So, unlike Miraz, Peter's courage is a true courage because it's not about proving said courage. It's about doing what is necessary.
