*****

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is both a compelling novel and film, lots of courage is shared in this novel. For example, when the children's mother sends them to live in the countryside of London, it takes an enormous amount of courage for her to let her children go without her. Even though its for the better because they aren't safe in their situation at home, it still takes courage for her to send them off and then stay in a war torn place. 

Aslan also represents courage throughout the film, he rescues the children from the White Witch many times and is the proclaimer of peace through Narnia. Also zodiac signs indicate that "Leo the lion" is a symbol of courage and bravery, following the zodiac, anyone who is born the days of the sign will inherit the traits of that zodiac.
