Aslan
Aslan is both the most terrifying and the most beautiful sight Shasta has ever seen. This is ironic because the two claims would seem to contradict each other; what is terrifying to us is usually not beautiful and what is beautiful to us usually gives us calm and pleasure, not a feeling of terror.
Aslan As The Attacker
Throughout the novel and the entire series of Chronicles, Aslan is the force of good. Thus, it is ironic that he is an aggressor in this novel and attacks Aravis very severely, something that seems against the grain for a force for good.
Bree The War Horse
Throughout their trip Bree talks about the fact that he has been to war and therefore has a set of skills that seem wasted on a journey across the desert with two children. This is ironic because when he is needed to help save Aravis from the lion's attack he freezes and goes to pieces leaving it to the child with no battle experience very to save her instead.
Susan Not Participating In Battles
QueenSusan, unlike Queen Lucy, does not participate in the actual fighting but in this case this is very ironic because by consistently refusing to give into Rabadash she has already achieved a victory against him that nobody else ever has.
Edmund and Traitors
Edmund is given to forgiving traitors as he states that he has known a traitor who has been turned into a hero which is ironic because he is actually referring to himself as he betrayed his brother and sisters and more importantly Aslan when they first came to Narnia only to redeem himself bravely later.
