They eventually stop in a wooded valley, where the Witch prepares to put him to death as a traitor.
The sledge eventually stalls as the snow melts (another sign of the witch's crumbling power), so they have to continue their journey on foot. He now realizes to his horror the evil witch whom he has allied himself, and would give anything to be with the others. (In the 2005 Disney/Walden Media adaptation of the film after Maugrim catches the fox which helped the beavers and the other three Pevensies elude him, the witch turns the fox to stone and slaps Edmund in the face for withholding information about Aslan and his army.) When the creatures continue to affirm that Father Christmas is their benefactor and has entered the land, a clear sign of her waning power, she turns them to stone over the protests of Edmund.
However, his opinion of the Witch changes dramatically when she berates him for coming alone, locks him in a dungeon, and even more so when on their journey to the Stone Table, they encounter a group of creatures enjoying a feast provided by Father Christmas. Beaver, but while the others are having an in-depth conversation about the arrival of Aslan, Edmund sneaks away to the White Witch's castle, where he expects to be made a prince and later a king. He and the other three children are taken under protection of Mr. It is when all four of the Pevensie children later go through the wardrobe that he lets slip that he has been in Narnia before and is scolded by Peter. Upon returning, he denies having been in Narnia, not wanting to admit that Lucy's story had been true. Lucy did mention the White Witch in a subsequent conversation and Edmund realised that the witch was none other than the "Queen of Narnia", but the magic of the Turkish Delight was so strong that he was determined to go back to her for more. As a result, he promises the Witch that he will bring his siblings to her house, not knowing that she intends to kill them all to prevent the fulfillment of a Narnian prophecy. While there, he meets the White Witch (who introduces herself as the Queen of Narnia) and eats some enchanted Turkish Delight, which causes an addiction in the person who eats it. However, in the 2005 film adaptation of the book, it is implied that he is upset that their father was forced to serve in the war and that they are sent away from home to the countryside in order to avoid the Blitz.Įdmund makes sarcastic comments to Lucy when she first finds the entrance to Narnia through the wardrobe, and is the second of the Pevensie children to go to Narnia, after following Lucy to tease her.
It is implied in the book that Edmund started life as a likeable person, but then changed for the worse and began to act meanly after attending a new school. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Edmund is one of the main characters, at the age of 10-years-old, and the character who develops the most over the course of story.
