Pints with Jack, Season 2, Episode 26.

Prince Caspian continued.

Friends, welcome to the Pints with Jack Weekly Podcast, where David and I have the distinct

privilege of enjoying a drink together, unpacking the writings of C.S. Lewis and discovering the

truth and beauty of Christianity. We went through the first part of Prince Caspian last week,

and this week we get the joy of the second part where we're going to be able to not only finish

the summary of it going through the chapters, but David and I will get a good chance to talk about

today the big major themes. So when we off the two strands of our story had just come together we'd been listening

to trumpkin's story and we'd heard about how prince caspian had been on the run for his life how he had

found old narnia how they began to gather together to prepare to fight king mirrors how they had blown queen Narnia, how they began to gather together, to prepare, to fight King

Mera's, how they had blown Queen Susan's horn.

And it's now at this point that the children realized that it was the horn that pulled them into Narnia.

And actually, if you look at the original titles that Lewis had for this book, it was all based around that that drawn back into Narnia or Horn of Narnia,

something along those lines. So while Trumpkin seems to understand that, yes, the Horn did bring

these children in, they're just children. And so he doesn't think they're going to be much help.

And I've got a little bit of comic relief as Trumpkin is humiliated in

swordplay by Edmund and his use for bow by Susan. And after he gets hurt, Lucy heals him with

some of her cordial. So he gets a little crash course in seeing how these children, how the

pevencies, might actually be rather useful to their cause. And now I can answer to what I thought of Trumpkin.

I remember now thinking this, that I really liked him because he had this kind of cockiness to

him, assuredness, and he was completely humiliated and proved wrong.

And you know what?
