1	Myth in the Fiction of C. S. Lewis Miller, Ruth Humble 08 1900 (has links) In both his fiction and non-fiction, Lewis comments on myth, its characteristics and strengths, and its relation to Christian doctrine. His use of myth to examine and to illustrate Christian ideas is most important in the space trilogy, the Narnia series of children's books, and Till We Have Faces. These books are the primary sources for this thesis, and they will be examined in chronological order. myth fiction C. S. Lewis space trilogy Narnia series Till We Have Faces
2	The Sacrament Of Violence: Myth And War In C.S. Lewis's Ransom Trilogy Engelhardt, Tanya 01 January 2012 (has links) My primary aim for this study is to illuminate the Ransom trilogy's inherent psychological and spiritual themes, as well as demonstrate how these themes clarify Lewis's philosophical and political goals for the text. Specifically, by investigating Lewis's mythic imagery and suffering motifs in light of psychoanalytic and theological literary criticisms, I elucidate the reasoning behind Lewis's unique—and at times, horrific—portrayal of fear, violence, and death. I also investigate how Lewis integrates his theology with the horrors of personal and intrapersonal suffering, as well as how he utilizes imagination and myth to explicate the practical (or political) implications of his theodicy. As a whole, I present a systematic study of the relationship between the Great War, myth, and the three Ransom novels, one which reveals how Lewis manipulates his personal traumatic experiences to fashion a romantic Christian understanding of evil and violence in the modern world C.s. lewis the ransom trilogy the space trilogy out of the silent planet perelandra that hideous strength sacrament violence myth war theology psychology Literature in English, British Isles
