Faith
Much of what Aslan tells the children the novel has to be taken on faith, and Aslan represents the Christian faith throughout this and the other Chronicles of Narnia. Faith is something that the "daughters of Eve" and "Sons of Adam" (in other words, the humans) lean on during the most difficult times in their adventure, for example, when Lucy goes into the Magician's house she is frightened and really dies not know if she is heading into danger, but she has faith that Aslan will protect her and even believes that she sees him in the moments when she needs the most guidance. Also at the end of the book, Aslan tells the Pevensie children that he will be continually telling them how they can ultimately live alongside him in his world; he does not tell them how whilst they are still in Narnia and they have faith that he will be true to his word and be their guide even when they cannot see him. This faith is the constant theme throughout the book.
Redemption
Eustace is the worst of travel companions both through the adventure and through life in general. He is a spiteful and argumentative troublemaker and it is hard for the others to be around him as he spoils everything. Ultimately his attitude results in his being changed into the form of a dragon. When he becomes human again he sees how he needs to change and one of the themes of the novel is his journey to redemption, which he begins with a change in attitude and working hard to be different, but also redeems himself by being brace for the first time ever and by being an invaluable member of the team. His redemption is also shorten as something that begins through Aslan.
The Importance of Team Work
The voyage and the quest to find the lost Barnian Lords would have failed without teamwork and its importance is one of the themes of the book. From the very beginning decisions are made by consensus and everyone pulls their weight and completes the task in front of them. Those with specific knowledge are listened to and their expertise respected which enables the mission to ultimately be successful.
Loyalty
Loyalty is one of the themes of the novels d is seen from several different perspectives. There is basic loyalty to Caspian as the King of Narnia, exemplified by the help given to him by the man who has bought him at the slave market. There is also loyalty to one's subjects, which arises when Caspian decides that he doesn't want to be King anymore but wants to continue exploring instead; the importance of his showing loyalty to the subjects he vowed to rule is stressed by the other characters and especially by Aslan. Another way in which loyalty is shown to be important is Edmund's reminders to Caspian that he should not be disrespectful of Edmund's brother Peter, the first and much beloved King of Narnia, and that Caspian should also show some deference and loyalty to Edmund and Lucy who were King and Queen before him.
