There are two important quotations in Chapter 11. The first is this: [Edmund] would have given anything to meet the others at this moment- even Peter! Edmund is starting to see the White Witch for what she truly is: evil. It begins to change his heart in a very dramatic way. He is changing so much, that he wants to be back with his siblings, even Peter, the sibling he gets along with the least. This realization causes a shift in Edmund's outlook on everything. It even causes him to burst out and plead that the White Witch not to turn a group of animals they see celebrating along the way into stone. Edmund is, unfortunately, too late, and the White Witch gives him a blow for his outburst. Instead of focusing on the pain from the White Which hitting him, we learn that: Edmund, for the first time in this story, felt sorry for someone besides himself. His first thought isn't for himself, but for others. That is, indeed, a huge change for Edmund. Edmund has started to see the evil of the White Witch for what it really is. That is why, in my opinion, "his heart gave a great leap (though he hardly knew why) when he realized the frost was over." The frost ending means the end of evil's reign in Narnia. Like Edmund, we have all been on the wrong path at one point or another in our lives. Like Edmund, we have also found in ourselves a change of heart in realizing how wrong we were. Hopefully like Edmund, we can take this change of heart and do something good with it. Disclaimer: unless otherwise stated, the majority of images produced here are not owned or created by me.
