4.1.3 Foxes
Foxes allegorize people who might generally be considered, or do not appear to be Christian or believe in God, and yet if they had to, they mayn’t give
their life for Him. When Father Christmas comes and gives them foods and drinks, they make a celebration to celebrate the coming of Aslan. But they still
don’t have strong faith in Aslan. Humans are self-centered so that sometimes they don’t believe in God’s existence. God is absurd. Absurd can mean odd but real.
He is real but most people keep asking on His presence, because God can’t be accepted scientifically. Some Narnian believe in Jadis because she has god-like-
power that is very similar to Aslan the real God for Narnia so many Narnians believe that she is god.
When Jadis passes and sees them partying, the fox says that they are praying for the Witch:
“Please, your Majesty,” said the Fox, “we were given them. And if I might make so bold as to drink your
Majestys very good health—” p. 60

of the majesty must bring freedom for those who get the things from the majesty. But if the majesty means someone who brings evil-like power, the majesty only

and taking a few strides nearer to the terrified animals. He has not been here He cannot have been here
How dare you—but no. Say you have been lying and you shall even now be forgiven.
At that moment one of the young squirrels lost its head completely.
He has—he has—he has it squeaked, beating its little spoon on the table. Edmund saw the Witch bite
her lips so that a drop of blood appeared on her white cheek. Then she raised her wand. Oh, dont, dont,
please dont, shouted Edmund, but even while he was shouting she had waved her wand and instantly where
the merry party had been there were only statues of creatures one with its stone fork fixed forever
halfway to its stone mouth seated round a stone table on which there were stone plates and a stone plum
pudding. p. 60-61
