The main idea of the original Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the exploration of the themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the battle between good and evil. Aslan, the noble lion, serves as a Christ-like figure, sacrificing himself to save one of the siblings, Edmund, from the clutches of the White Witch. The bold main idea of the story is the triumph of good over evil and the redemption of Edmund through the power of love and self-sacrifice.
