Hey guys,
So my dad went to a seminar by Dr. Mike Ladra last night that went over the themes in the upcoming C.S. Lewis movie Voyage of the Dawn Treader and when I was reading over his notes I couldn't stop thinking of Crime and Punishment so here are some of paralleling themes:
1. Sin is a form of self-abuse (Sin is it's own punishment)
2. (Roman 12:1-2) transformation begins as a battle in the mind...YOU determine the person YOU become
3. The key to transformation is to face the pain of knowing the person I am (self-knowledge)
4. Forgiveness removes our guilt and leads to redemption But forgiveness does not remove consequences...their are lasting consequences to our sin
5. no man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good...that is why bad people know very little about badness. they have lived a sheltered life by always giving in...we never find out the strength of evil inside us until we try to fight it...the man is awake now
6. Temptation at first looks so good, but look deeper...it eventually brings death of a relationship or character etc. (bait on a hook...enticed...then take the bait and get hooked and dragged away)
Please expand on these in relation to the novel! I found so many connnections!
