Are There People Who Think Peter Pevensie Is Boring????? - Tumblr Posts

peter pevensie is not boring! his narrative arc, especially in the books, is ridiculously painful and complex, and covers some very poignant ground on identity loss/mythologisation! not only did c.s. lewis tend to avoid addressing material that was too mature or dark for his readers (thus leaving us with only vague sentiments about how peter “felt tired all over” or didn’t look like himself after committing violent acts), but peter himself doesn’t tend to share his thoughts until he’s ready to act (see: his bullet-point list about why the ruins in pc must be cair paravel); so he can superficially appear to fade into the background. it’s not obvious until you look a little closer - but you’re doing a disservice to your narnia experience in writing him off as boring!
