4.1.5 Mr. Tumnus the Faun
Mr. Tumnus is the first Narnian whom Lucy met in the forest near to the lamp-post. He is a faun. Faun is a creature half man and half goat. From the waist
upwards he was like a man, but his legs were shaped like a goats the hair on them was glossy black and instead of feet he had goats hoofs. He also had a tail.
Mr. Tumnus invites Lucy to come to his house. He promises to give Lucy toast, sardines and cake:
“Thank you very much, Mr Tumnus,” said Lucy. “But I was wondering whether I ought to be getting
back.” “Its only just round the corner,” said the Faun, “and
therell be a roaring fire—and toast—and sardines— and cake.” p. 6
for the first time, Mr. Tumnus wants to kidnap Lucy. He doesn’t tell Lucy that he is working to the witch. The witch pay him to be a spy. He must tell the witch if
Universitas Sumatera Utara
33 he has saw human entering Narnia. Because there is written when four thrones in
Cair Paravel is filled by four humans, the witch will lose her power. It makes the witch become frightened with everything that talks about human beings:
“Like what Ive done,” said the Faun. “Taken service under the White Witch. Thats what I am. Im in the
pay of the White Witch.” “The White Witch? Who is she?”
“Why, it is she that has got all Narnia under her thumb. Its she that makes it always winter. Always
winter and never Christmas; think of that” “How awful” said Lucy. “But what does she pay
you for?” “Thats the worst of it,” said Mr Tumnus with a deep
groan. “Im a kidnapper for her, thats what I am. Look at me, Daughter of Eve. Would you believe
that Im the sort of Faun to meet a poor innocent child in the wood, one that had never done me any
harm, and pretend to be friendly with it, and invite it home to my cave, all for the sake of lulling it asleep
and then handing it over to the White Witch?” p. 8-9
But then Tumnus realizes that he must release Lucy, because he likes Lucy’s kindness. He doesn’t want to see Lucy is going to be killed by the witch.
He accompany Lucy to back to the forest where he met her for the first time: “Of course I will,” said the Faun. “Of course Ive got
to. I see that now. I hadnt known what Humans were like before I met
you. Of course I cant give you up to the Witch; not now that I know you. But we must be off at once. Ill
see you back to the lamp-post. I suppose you can find your own way from there back to Spare Oom
and War Drobe?” p. 9
Tumnus is same with Apostle Paul, who first worked against Christianity by killing the Christians people. He is also same to doubting Thomas of the
gospels. He doesn’t believe in Aslan, but somehow when he wants to kidnap

34 Lucy, he sees Aslan’s shadow and then he realizes that he is wrong so he decides
to let Lucy back to her world in spare-room through a wardrobe.
