Aslan is the lion who represents goodness in C.S. Lewis’s Narnia stories.
Aslan is the central benevolent figure in The Chronicles of Narnia. He is portrayed as the great lion, creator of Narnia, and a guide and protector to many of its human and animal inhabitants. His name is derived from the Turkish word for “lion.”
Readers often identify Aslan with Christian symbolism, especially because The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe includes his sacrificial death and return to life. Lewis described the Narnia books as imaginative fiction rather than direct retellings of biblical stories. Aslan appears across all seven Chronicles of Narnia novels.
