Furthermore, the appearance of Turkish delights is very snowy- because of the powdered sugar that surrounds the Turkish delight. Besides, it had to be imported from Turkey to taste the original, real ones because Western Europeans never succeeded to make a perfect Turkish delight. It takes around 2~3 days to make a Turkish delight. Turkish Delight- called Lokum originally, which means “comfort of the throat, was considered the luxurious food because of the extremely complex process of making Turkish delight. However, numerous people and fans of the Chronicles of Narnia wonder in which purpose Lewis uses precisely Turkish Delight in his book, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. By these pieces of evidence from the book, it isn’t hard to comprehend that Turkish Delight represents betrayal, selfishness, greed, and abandonment.
For more Turkish Delights, Edmund abandons his family members who were fighting back for the white witch. Later in this book, page 98, Edmund, who could not forget the “magic” taste of Turkish Delight departures for freedom- Turkish Delights. She promises him more Turkish Delights for coming back with his brother and two sisters. Edmund gives all the critical information about not only him- but including his two sisters and a brother, which the white witch determines to kill. At first Edmund tried to remember that it is rude to speak with one’s mouth full, but soon he forgot about this and thought only of trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight as he could, and the more he ate the more he wanted to eat, and he never asked himself why the Queen should be so inquisitive”. “While he was eating, the Queen kept asking him questions. The white witch purposely preferred him to eat because it made it easy for her to get information about Edmund. When Edmund starts eating, he feels “quite warm and very comfortable”(Lewis, 43). “Turkish Delight, please, your Majesty,” said Edmund”. “It is dull, Son of Adam, to drink without eating,” said the Queen presently.
However, after the queen distinguishes Edmund as a human, she starts being polite and mannerly to Edmund, asking for a hot drink and something to eat. “Answer me, once and for all, or I shall lose my patience. The white witch at first treats Edmund unmannered and impolitely, as shown on page 40 of the book, “I see you are an idiot, whatever else you may be,” said the Queen. Lewis is just about the battle between good and evil, but actually it is also about betrayal, selfishness, greed, and abandonment.
You might think that “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. However, before their long journey begins, Edmund, the second oldest of four children, walks into the wardrobe alone for the first time and meets the queen of the Narnia, as known as the white witch.
