The LotGK's Plot Against Narnia
Posted: Jul 25, 2014 12:17 pm
We don't learn a lot about the Lady of the Green Kirtle's plot in The Silver Chair; her plot against Narnia is a rather hazy enterprise. Further, everything we hear about it, we hear secondhand from Rilian. I think it's reasonable to expect that the LotGK's methods and designs will be explored further in the film.
A few questions to get the ball rolling...
What kind of villain is the LotGK and why did she want to takeover Narnia? What would a LotGK-ruled Narnia even look like? Why did she need Rilian to accomplish this? Was the prince merely a means to an end, or did she actually care about being the object of his sycophantic adoration? How did the mysterious silver chair play into all of this, and what did the LotGK mean when she told Rilian that the enchantment would be broken after the Narnian invasion? Lastly, do you have any ideas or hopes in regards to how they present these elements in the film?
One half-baked thought that occurred to me as I was writing this post: paralleling what she said to Rilian about breaking his own enchantment, what if the Lady of the Green Kirtle thought her own enchantment—being cursed with the form of a serpent—would be broken if she was crowned Queen of Narnia? Of course, that would require assuming that her serpentine form is some sort of a curse that can be broken, instead of her true/original form.
