Chapter 7 - Old Narnia in Danger
Posted: Nov 18, 2014 8:39 am
1. The Old Narnians are all very vocal with their opinions. What do you think of the way they interact with each other and Caspian?
2. Doctor Cornelius seems to know more about the history of the country and its magical places better than even the Talking Beasts. Why do you think this is?
3. What differences does Caspian see as he attends a Narnian council, from any Telmarine gathering?
4. How do you think the council came to be made up of only Caspian, Trumpkin, Nikabrik, Trufflehunter, and Dr Cornelius? If you were Caspian, who would you want on your council?
5. When trying to decide whether or not to use the horn, Caspian remarks that they can't be sure they are at their greatest need. (Dr. Cornelius tells Caspian that he should only use the horn in his greatest need when he gives it to him). Do you think there is some condition on the horn that it only works if one is in his greatest need or is it more of a warning to think before using it? Do you see any inconsistencies or plot holes between the way Father Christmas describes the horn when giving it to Susan and how it functions in Prince Caspian?
6. Which characterisation in this chapter appeals to you most?
7. Why is sunrise likely to "have an effect in cases of White Magic"?
8. What was your favorite part of this chapter?
