Those who falsely claim that C.S. Lewis didn’t like women have missed the gender than he secretly hated: MALES! That’s correct, hidden very deep within the writings of C.S. Lewis you will discover a hatred that is so concealed that only my carefully skilled abilities have been able to uncover the shocking truth.
I don’t expect you to accept my word on this delicate matter…so, I’ll reveal what my findings have been so far (undoubtedly there is more yet to be discovered). What follows is a list of characters Lewis created along with a short explanation as to why it proves my point.
-
Edmund Pevensie – in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Edmund is the villainous traitor whose deeds result in the death of Aslan.
-
Eustace Scrubb – introduced as a self-centered and spoiled child who is so greedy that he is turned into a dragon.
-
Shift – a MALE talking ape who is ugly, greedy and a manipulating liar who convinces Puzzle the donkey to pretend to be Aslan.
-
Puzzle – an easily manipulated MALE donkey that comes across as always being confused.
-
Professor Weston – in Perelandra he is possessed by a demon.
-
“The Head” of N.I.C.E. – the National Institute of Coordinated Experiments, an evil organization, is literally led by “the head” of François Alcasan, a MALE scientist (he had no body).
-
King Trom – the King of Glome in Till We Have Faces is a hotheaded guy ruled by his coarse passions. His poor parenting resulted in his daughter Psyche being sacrificed to a monster, the Shadowbrute. He also gave his other daughter, Orual, such poor self-esteem that she covered her face as a result.
-
The Great Divorce – “one of the great ones” in heaven is Sara Smith, a woman.
-
The Screwtape Letters – all the key demons mentioned are male.
Great job.
Right you are. Both claims are foolish.
This is so hilarious!!! And original, William. What fun!
