Aslan is the great lion and symbolic Christ figure in The Chronicles of Narnia.
Aslan is the creator, king, and principal spiritual figure of Narnia. He appears throughout the series as a powerful but compassionate guide who opposes the forces of evil. His name is derived from the Turkish word for “lion.”
In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan offers himself in place of Edmund Pevensie and is killed on the Stone Table before returning to life. This episode deliberately uses imagery associated with sacrifice, death, and resurrection in Christian theology.
Lewis did not present Aslan as a simple one-to-one allegory for Jesus. He described Narnia as a fictional world in which the divine Son appears in a form appropriate to that world. Aslan is therefore both a character in the story and its central theological symbol.
