poisonpill posted:I didn’t realize that the last battle was a Christian parable, but I also didn’t realize that they died. In retrospect I don’t think I made it that far in the books. eustice and jill mention the last thing they remember from the world in england is hearing a really loud noise on the train before they came back to narnia and peter and edmond mention the last thing they remember is seeing the train make the turn too fast while they were waiting on the platform. by the end it's pretty spelled out that aslan's country and the garden that opened its gates for them is heaven. presumably the train crash killed the characters on the train and the ones standing on the platform waiting to greet them. the characters they met in narnia died during the battle. the book was published only a few years before lewis died so while the "heaven  " is a pretty common reaction to it, i think it's worth looking at in context.
