From famous children's novels come famous villains, whose name almost everyone knows, and anyone could tell you their story, their bad deeds and name of the hero who was ultimately smart enough to lead them to ruin. C.S. Lewis' Narnia series is no exception, and although it hosts countless different villains, one seems to rise above the rest and his name is mentioned in hushed tones throughout the series after his appearance in the first book. The White Queen is first mentioned in the first book of the series, The Wizard's Nephew, when the lost adventurers Polly and Diggory find her on her home world of Charn, where she is known as Jadis. He eventually follows them to Narnia, where he begins to establish his reputation in the supposed thousand years between the first book and the second. In the most famous of the Narnia books, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the White Queen is the vilest of all beings ever known to Narnia, she launched the Hundred Year Winter on Narnia and is known for his manipulative presence and his ability to turn living beings into stone. In the first two books of the series, Jadis, the White Queen, constantly uses the powers of her stature and fear along with manipulation to coerce and frighten the beings she rules over; these tactics earn her a reputation as evil. The first book in the Narnia series is The Magician's Nephew, the book functions as a sort of prologue to the other books, providing context for some of the more famous characters and also how Narnia itself was created. . At the beginning of the book, two young children, Polly and Digory, become friends by being neighbors. Digory has just moved into the house of his... middle of paper... and powerful sorceress, but it is his non-magical "powers" that help him most in his rise to power. Over and over in both books, the author, C.S. Lewis, shows the White Queen using her immense stature, her ability to instill fear, and her naturally manipulative traits to build an army and empire in Narnia. Works Cited1Lewis, CS.
