The Last Battle Literary Elements

Children's Fiction

Narnia, time in eathly world is around 1950

Third person narrator telling the story from Tirian's point of view

Threatening and very frightened with a feeling g of foreboding

Tirian is the protagonist, the Calormene the antagonists

The major conflict is the battle between King Tirian and the Narnians and the Calormene troops who are trying to decimate the Kingdom of Narnia and enslave its people and animals

The climax of the novel is the arrival in the new, more intense Narnia and Aslan leading everyone higher and deeper into the lush land, where everyone learns that they are in the place they have believed to be Heaven, and that they are there because they have died.

Catching sight of Tash flying overhead foreshadows the "end of the world" and the end of Narnia

The Narnian army are said to be outnumbered. This is an understatement as the Calormene have two additional groups of reinforcements with spears that the Narnians are unable to defend against.

The King alludes to the previous Chronicles of Narnia as he recalls what he has heard about the characters of Polly and Digory, and the Pevensie children, as well as Jill and Eustace and their adventure freeing Prince Rilian

Tash is the image of the devil or the force of evil; the evil Calormene and the creatures who deny Aslan are doomed to spend eternity with him and he is described in a fearsome way with malevolent eyes and huge wings, and terrifying claws.

Puzzle is told all the time that he is an ass therefore an idiot but he actually sees through Shift's plan in a way that supposedly more intelligent creatures do not manage to perceive

There is a parallel between the Old Narnia that the children loved and the new Narnia which they are experiencing with far more intensity

Tirian did not know if Narnia would get up and follow him, "Narnia"
Meaning all of the Narnian people and animals

The trees are personified by their "dryad" persona, the humanized part of each tree
