The Shapeshifter - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe


In The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Edmund is the Shapeshifter. Edmund is the shapeshifter because he does what will (or he THINKS will) be good for him. He is a greedy little pig who dislikes his so-called bossy siblings and will do anything for himself. In The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Edmund helps to lead the White Witch to his siblings so he can have Turkish Delight. He did not know that the White Witch (or, as he met her, the Queen of Narnia) was going to dispose of him, but he decided to bring his siblings to her because she promised he could be a prince. Although later his little sister told him she was evil, Edmund didn't take notice and went along to help the witch.

Although he didn't know that the White Witch was going to kill him and his siblings, I can't understand how Edmund could be so STUPID. He found out that she was evil, but he didn't care because all he wanted was to become Prince of Narnia and eat more Turkish Delight. Perhaps he also decided not to listen to Lucy because the Witch said lots of Narnians hate her and say bad things about her, but I don't think that's true. I think Edmund is a spoiled brat who will do anything to get anything he wants.

Even though he returns to the "side" with his siblings and Aslan, I still really despise Edmund and I think I always will.
