We meet Pole and Scrubb in this episode, and address five themes from the chapter: (1) Experiment House and education ("Progressive" education was anathema to Lewis, not only because of its disdain for the classics and the Christian foundation of Western civilization, but more importantly because he believed the relativism it cultivates would destroy our society); (2) Outcasts as protagonists (in the 1940s, it was a bold statement to begin a story with a crying, bullied junior high girl as the protagonist); (3) Eustace: Changed by Aslan (The formerly odious Eustace develops qualities like compassion and leadership as encountering Aslan transforms him); (4) Vulnerability leading to Fellowship: (Eustace takes the incredibly risky and vulnerable step of sharing the deep secrets of his heart with Jill); and (5) Calling Aslan OR Aslan calling?(Did Eustace and Jill decide to flee into Narnia, or did Aslan call them?)
