==About Emeth==

Emeth is one of the most controversial characters in the Chronicles of Narnia. Though he is a relatively minor player in only one book, ''The Last Battle'', Emeth has an encounter with Aslan that has profound theological implications. Emeth is a faithful servant of the Calormene god Tash and has hated Aslan all his life, reviling the Lion as a demon. But when Emeth enters the Stable, Aslan permits the young Calormene to enter his country, saying, "Not because he [Tash] and I are one, but because we are opposites, I take to me the services which thou hast done to him. For I and he are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him... unless thy desire had been for me thou wouldst not have sought so long and so truly. For all find what they truly seek." Readers have been wrestling with the spiritual dilemma posed by Emeth's story ever since, and he remains one of Lewis' most memorable characters.
