Aslan

One of the most interesting aspects of Aslan's character is that He can be both loving and terrifying. In Ch. 12 of ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'', Lewis writes, "People who have not been in Narnia sometimes think that a thing cannot be good and terrible at the same time. If the children had ever thought so, they were cured of it now. For when they tried to look at Aslan's face they just caught a glimpse of the golden mane and the great, royal, solemn, overwhelming eyes; and then they found they couldn't look at him and went all trembly."

Nothing has ever harmed the Great Lion except with His consent. When [[White Witch|Jadis]] throws a metal bar from a lamppost at Aslan, it bounces off and falls harmlessly to the ground. After [[Caspian|King Caspian X]] dies and enters Aslan's Country, the Lion asks [[Eustace Clarence Scrubb|Eustace]] to drive a thorn into His paw, and a large drop of blood splashes over the [[Caspian|King]] and awakens him. And of course, Aslan allows Himself be bound on the Stone Table where the [[White Witch]] kills Him with her stone knife. But even then, Aslan does not remain dead. He has knowledge of a Deeper Magic which the [[White Witch]] did not know. As it says in ''The Last Battle'', it was by His blood that all Narnia was saved.
