Timeline and Themes in Chapters 1-4We will be concentrating on establishing a timeline for chapters 1-4 of Lewis' novel, then on themes that are revealed in this part of the narrative.
There are several key themes in the novel, including:
- Men, women and marriage
- Scientific Progress
- Tradition and Modernity
- The Arthurian Legends
- Authority and Freedom
- Magic and the Supernatural
In small groups, prepare a presentation about a theme that interests you. This should include an A4 handout.
