Edmund Pevensie

Edmund Pevensie is the most psychologically complex of the four Pevensie children — a boy whose jealousy and wounded pride lead him to betray his siblings to the White Witch, setting the catastrophe of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' into motion. His arc from traitor to redeemed king is the clearest portrait of Christian grace in Lewis's allegory: Edmund is forgiven completely and without reservation, and his experience of that forgiveness transforms him. In subsequent Narnia books, he matures into 'King Edmund the Just,' a fair and wise ruler whose capacity for moral judgment is sharpened by having once failed it.
