==About Eustace==

"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it." Eustace starts out as a very selfish boy. His parents are described as modern people, and Eustace has absorbed the worst effects of the Scrubbs' lack of discipline and self-centered philosophy. He is pleased when he learns that his cousins [[Lucy Pevensie|Lucy]] and [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]] will be spending a summer with his family, because he enjoys irritating them. When the children are pulled into Narnia, Eustace continues to make himself an annoyance until he has an encounter with [[Aslan]]. After that, Eustace reforms and becomes less selfish. He displays bravery in attacking the Sea-Serpent (though he breaks [[Caspian]]'s second-best sword in so doing). Eustace is a dynamic character, similar to his cousin [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]] in the sense that his trip to Narnia changes him. He is later chosen to help rescue Prince [[Rilian]] and fight alongside King [[Tirian]] in the last battle of Narnia, earning his place among the friends of Narnia.

[[File:3774.jpg|left]]Eustace is present when King [[Tirian]] suddenly appears to the friends of Narnia, alerting them to the fact that Narnia is in danger. Since [[Aslan]] has told the Pevensies that they may not return to Narnia, it is decided that Eustace and [[Jill Pole|Jill]] will go, using the magic rings. They take a train to the meeting place to get the rings from [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]] and [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]], when suddenly there comes a “frightful jerk”... and Eustace and [[Jill Pole|Jill]] find themselves in Narnia. Eustace accompanies [[Tirian]] and [[Jill Pole|Jill]] as they rescue [[Jewel]] and [[Puzzle]] from the stable. Eustace fights by [[Tirian]]'s side in the last battle of Narnia, and is thrown through the stable door. Eustace witnesses night falling on Narnia and goes "further up and further in" with the others as [[Aslan]] leads them to His country.
