The Last Battle Imagery

Caldron Pool

Caldron Pool is a big pool situated at the western end of Narnia and he author gives a majestic description of the place which provokes readers’ imagination: “the great waterfall pours down into it with a noise like everlasting thunder, and the River of Narnia flows out on the other side. The waterfall keeps the Pool always dancing and bubbling and churning round and round as if it were on the boil”. And that’s why the pool is called Caldron Pool. The place is especially beautiful in spring time when all the melted snow from the mountains gathers there. The image of the pool is one of many descriptions of nature given in the story. The author always uses nature descriptions to portray the beauty the made up country and thus to draw the reader’s attention.

King Tirian

Along with the nature descriptions the author gives descriptions of the characters as well, which help the reader to understand this or that personality. When describing the King of Narnia Tirian the author gives the following: “he was between twenty and twenty-five years old, his shoulders were already broad and strong and his limbs full of hard muscle, but his beard was still scanty. He had blue eyes and a fearless, honest face”. Thus, the author does not always fully describes the characters’ personal traits which are opened through their deeds, yet appearances of descriptions still prove illuminating.

Poor Animals

When the ape Shift has taken power in his hands, he told a lot of things about Aslan which were difficult to believe in, but still Beasts were made believe in them, and their appearance at the moment when all their expectations and beliefs in Aslan appear in vain is a really impressive one “you know how sad your dog’s face can look sometimes, think of that and then think of all the faces of those Beasts – all those honest, humble, bewildered Beasts – all far sadder than that. Every tail was down, every whisker drooped. It would have broken your heart with very pity to see their faces”. The image expresses all the sadness and sorrow of poor animals.
