Aslan is the lion who represents good in C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia.
Aslan is the creator and rightful ruler of Narnia. He appears throughout the series as a powerful, wise, and compassionate figure who guides the children and other inhabitants during moments of danger. His name is derived from the Turkish word for “lion.”
Aslan is often interpreted as a literary representation of Jesus Christ, especially because of his sacrificial death and resurrection in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Lewis nevertheless created Aslan as a character within a fictional world rather than as a direct retelling of the Gospels.
Other prominent Narnian characters have different roles. Reepicheep is a courageous mouse, Mr. Tumnus is a faun, and Puddleglum is a marsh-wiggle, so none is the series’ lion.
