Anna Popplewell: Susan Pevensie

Susan Pevensie : [about Lucy] She thinks she's found a magical land. In the upstairs wardrobe. Professor Kirke : [eyes widening, he rushes to the children] What did you say? Peter Pevensie : Um, the wardrobe. Upstairs. Lucy thinks she's found a forest inside. Susan Pevensie : She won't stop going on about it. Professor Kirke : What was it like? Susan Pevensie : Like talking to a lunatic. Professor Kirke : No, no, no. Not her, the forest! Susan Pevensie : [stares] You're not saying you believe her? Professor Kirke : You don't? Susan Pevensie : But, of course not. I mean, logically it's impossible. Professor Kirke : What do they teach in schools these days?

Susan Pevensie : Gastrovascular. Come on, Peter. Gastrovascular. Peter Pevensie : Is it Latin? Susan Pevensie : Yes. Edmund Pevensie : Is it Latin for "worst game ever invented"? [Susan shuts her dictionary] Lucy Pevensie : We could play hide and seek? Peter Pevensie : But, we're already having so much fun. [looks at Susan]

Mr. Beaver : When Adam's Flesh and Adam's bone sits at Cair Paravel in throne, the evil time will be over and done. Susan Pevensie : You know that doesn't really rhyme.

Peter Pevensie : He said he knows the faun. Susan Pevensie : He's a beaver, he shouldn't be saying anything!

Professor Kirke : You seem to have upset the delicate internal balance of my housekeeper. Peter Pevensie : We're very sorry, sir, it won't happen again. Susan Pevensie : It's our sister, sir. Lucy. Professor Kirke : The weeping girl? Susan Pevensie : Yes, sir. She's upset. Professor Kirke : Hence the weeping.

Lucy Pevensie : It's all right! I'm back! I'm all right! Edmund Pevensie : Shut up! He's coming! Peter Pevensie : You know, I'm not sure you two have quite got the idea of this game. Lucy Pevensie : Weren't you wondering where I was? Edmund Pevensie : That's the point. That was why he was seeking you! Susan Pevensie : Does this mean I win? Peter Pevensie : I don't think Lucy wants to play anymore.

Lucy Pevensie : The sheets feel scratchy. Susan Pevensie : Wars don't last forever, Lucy. We'll be home soon. Edmund Pevensie : Yeah. If home is still there Susan Pevensie : Isn't it time you're in bed? Edmund Pevensie : [to Susan] Yes mum! Peter Pevensie : Ed! You saw the outside. This place is huge. We can do whatever we want here. Tomorrow's gonna be great. Really.

Susan Pevensie : I'm just trying to be realistic! Peter Pevensie : No, you're trying to be smart, as usual!

Peter Pevensie : Maybe we could call to the police. Susan Pevensie : [waving Maugrim's parchment] These ARE the police!

Susan Pevensie : [to Peter] Look, just because some man in a red coat hands you a sword it doesn't make you a hero!

Susan Pevensie : The professor knew we were coming. Edmund Pevensie : Perhaps we've been incorrectly labeled.

Peter Pevensie : I think you've made a mistake. We're not heroes! Susan Pevensie : We're from Finchley!

Susan Pevensie : Besides, we could all use the fresh air. Edmund Pevensie : It's not like there isn't air inside.

Susan Pevensie : Thank you for your hospitality, but we really have to go. Mr. Beaver : Oh, you can't just leave. Lucy Pevensie : He's right. We have to help Mr. Tumnus.

  Reviews for "Susan's Growth as a Heroine in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"

  1. John - 2 stars

  I found "Susan Lion Witch Wardrobe" to be quite disappointing. The story felt confusing and lacked depth. The characters were not well-developed, and I couldn't connect with any of them. The plot seemed to jump around without any clear direction. Additionally, the writing style felt disjointed and clumsy. Overall, I was left underwhelmed by this book and wouldn't recommend it.

  2. Emily - 1 star

  I couldn't even finish reading "Susan Lion Witch Wardrobe." The writing was overly descriptive and dragged on, making it difficult to stay engaged. The characters were one-dimensional and uninteresting, and the plot felt predictable and unoriginal. I found myself constantly questioning the logic and consistency of the story, which made it hard to enjoy. I was expecting much more from this highly acclaimed book, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me.

  3. Samantha - 2 stars

  I didn't enjoy "Susan Lion Witch Wardrobe" as much as I expected to. The pacing was incredibly slow, and it took too long for the story to pick up. The world-building felt lacking, and I struggled to fully immerse myself in the magical realm the author was trying to create. The characters, while unique, never fully came to life for me, and I found it hard to root for them. Overall, I found the book to be mediocre and forgettable, failing to live up to the hype.
