Lewis on the Campaign Trail Again


The name of C. S. Lewis keeps popping up in the United States presidential election. This was the opening paragraph in an article in the Times online today. . . .

"As she watches her support melt away, the horror on the face of Hillary Clinton sometimes resembles that of C.S. Lewis’s Snow Queen on seeing the return of summer to Narnia."

The question is, if Hillary resembles the White Witch, who resembles Aslan?

I thought I was the first one to notice the resemblance months ago!
I mentioned it in reading group for a laugh. I guess it's so obvius I could'nt be the only one to notice. Thanks for making my day!

It is amazing to me that anyone in "the media" would make the comparison, but I guess the days of civility in politics, if it ever existed, is long over.

Still, it is funny to think of who different candidates look like. And I imagine all that is said about them in the press keeps each candidate humble.
