“…..The books don’t tell us what happened to Susan. She is left alive in this world at the end, having by then turned into a rather silly, conceited young woman. But there’s plenty of time for her to mend and perhaps she will get to Aslan’s country in the end….in her own way.” -C.S.Lewis
I love your videos! I feel like I’m often surprised by your perspectives and it shows me new ways of thinking about things, or new things to wonder about. :)
Not sure if anyone will see this, but my best friend recently made a video on the history of pantyhose that might shed some light on the "nylons" features in Lucy's famous comment about "lipstick and nylons"! After WWII, nylons seem to have been associated with disposability and frivolity, which is a cultural association that the modern reader won't share!

This started off well then descended into utter stupidity. Susan isn't criticised for dressing up and going out with her friends. Do you really think Peter and Lucy and the others never did that? Do you really think Professor Kirke never dressed up and went to faculty dinners with his university colleagues? She's criticised for liking NOTHING ELSE! Susan's uncertain fate was a masterstroke and one of the best parts of the Last Battle.
I think I agree with you! I really love Susan's ending; I just think the way it was written makes it easy to CONFUSE it with her being criticized for just going out. Thanks for taking the time to comment nonetheless!
@@girlsaysstuff Thank you. Sorry if my comment came over as a bit abrasive. But The Last Battle is my favourite Narnia book (although I love them all) and i just get a bit upset at all the (in my opinion) unfair criticism levelled against it.

I’m so excited to see you covering this!! I’ve been waiting for it. Wonderful analysis!!!

This made me so happy, thank you so much! I do like to overthink things, and I'm glad someone who's not me enjoys it!
Thank you!!!
I honestly think that the 1988 BBC mini series of The Chronicles of Narnia are the best on film adaptation it stays closer to the books
I still need to get around to watching that one! I didn't know about it for a long time, but I've been hearing consistently good things
@@girlsaysstuff they have that series here free on UA-cam
