4.2.4 Lucy Pevensie
Lucy is the youngest in Pevensie’s siblings. She is the first who enters Narnia accidentally. She visits Narnia twice before they come together to Narnia.
Lucy has strong belief in Narnia and Aslan. She can mark a person or an animal is good or bad by seeing him or it. She is the first who realizes that the robin is
asking them to follow him. She is the one who can see Aslan earlier than the others even though they are in the same place and in the same situation, but only
Lucy can feel Aslan’s present for the first time. After she force the other to believe her story, then her siblings believe that there is a place named Narnia and
there is Aslan who is the real ruler in Narnia. Lucy leads her siblings when they come together to Narnia for the first time. Actually, she doesn’t know the way but
her gentle feeling let her decides which is the best way or the good Narnian or the bad one. Lucy has a great willing to know or to find out about everything:
“Nothing there” said Peter, and they all trooped out again—all except Lucy. She stayed behind
because she thought it would be worth while trying the door of the wardrobe, even though she
felt almost sure that it would be locked. To her surprise it opened quite easily, and two mothballs
dropped out. p. 3
she is the first of the Pevensies to enter Narnia through a magical wardrobe in Professor Kirkes old house, and sees Narnia in the One Hundred Year Winter,

46 under the rule of Jadis the White Witch, the evil that call herself as the Queen of
Narnia. There she meets Mr. Tumnus the Faun and, later, the Beavers. While traveling with her siblings and beavers, Father Christmas gives them gifts; Lucy is
given a vial with magical cordial that can heal almost any injury , and a small dagger with which to defend herself “at great need”. She and her companions
arrive at Aslans camp, and later that night, she and Susan comfort Aslan as he walks to his death. Both girls also witness his sacrifice. While their brothers are
going to war, Lucy and her sister see Aslan come back to life and help him wake the creatures in the White Witchs castle, which the White Witch had turned to
stone. They meet with their brothers at the end of the battle. At Cair Paravel, she is crowned to the Glistening Easter Sea as Her Majesty Queen Lucy by Aslan to the
throne as co-ruler of Narnia, this marking the fulfilling of the ancient prophecy and the end of the White Witchs reign. During her reign, the people name her Queen
Lucy the Valiant. She and her siblings make a Golden Age in Narnia. Late in the Golden Age while hunting the white stag through Lantern Waste, she notices the
lantern where she met Mr. Tumnus. She stops her siblings and they look and wonder what it is. Lucy, in a dreamy voice, says Spare Oom, Mr. Tumnus phrase
for the land from which they came, and the children run through the wardrobe into England, where no time had passed and they are children again.
Lucy and Susan are the only persons who accompany Aslan in his crucifixion and resurrection. Lucy is similar to children who believe in God and
children who are God’s Kingdom heirs. As Jesus said that the oldest must let the children come to Him because they are the heirs of God’s kingdom. Children have
pure heart. If they believe in someone, they will believe in him strongly. Children

47 also have a great curiosity, they want to know everything around them, that’s what
Lucy has shown us. Lucy is given a magical cordial by Father Christmas because may be the magical cordial can work with someone who has pure heart, no hatred,
and no irresponsibility. Lucy decides to stay in Narnia while she know that she and her siblings are going to be arrested by the Witch but she decides to stay and
saves Mr. Tumnus who has ever saved her before. Although she is still young, she has a great responsibility in paying her debt, in this case not money but life.
