Quote by C.S. Lewis
Do you think I care if Aslan doomes me to death? said the King. That would be nothing, nothing at all. Would it not be better to be dead than to have this horrible fear that Aslan has come and is not like the Aslan we have believed in and longed for? It is as if the sun rose one day and were a black sun.
Summary
This quote expresses the inner turmoil of the King, who values the idea of Aslan, a wise and benevolent figure. He questions whether it would be better to die rather than face the crushing disappointment of discovering that the Aslan he has hoped for and revered might not live up to his expectations. The quote highlights the fear of shattered illusions and the existential dread that comes from realizing a cherished belief may be untrue.
