And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.
In the excerpt from "The Last Battle" by C.S. Lewis, a transformative moment occurs when a character is no longer perceived as a lion but instead becomes a symbol of beauty and greatness. The author suggests that the experiences in Narnia were merely a prelude to a far greater adventure that lies ahead, emphasizing the transition from familiar tales to an unfolding of something immensely more significant.
This passage reflects the idea that the conclusion of familiar stories is just the beginning of an exhilarating journey that will continue eternally. Lewis posits that what the characters thought was the end actually marks the start of a profound narrative that surpasses anything experienced before, inviting readers to recognize the limitless potential of their own stories.
