Perelandra Analysis

This is a critical point in the history of Perelandra that will decide the future of the this young and happy world. Ithar evil will take root in the minds of the inhabitants or Ransom will successfully repel it. In this wonderful continuation of CS lewis’s space series he shows us that sometimes the desire to grow smarter and good intechens can be clouded and changed into something bad. He also shows us that one man who trusts in Maleldil, can do the impossible to save something that he thinks is worth saving.
The main force and representative of all that is good and right on this world that CS Lewis has created is Dr Elwin Ransom. He was sent to a world that was just at its beginnings and was very different than ours, it was (from what we know) a mostly water covered planet with the majority of the story taking place on this great islands that float on the water's surface. The wildlife and vegetation is all very new to Ransom and overwhelmed all his senses and as it seemed to him a perfect world, even eating some fruit from a tree gave all shorts of pleasers that were all new to him. Ransom represents all that is good and is tasked to keep the world from being completely enveloped in evil. All the characters were impacted in different ways but for Ransom in particular he saw the innocence and

greatness in this young and strange world that protecting it would be a necessity.
Ransom listened to an Eldia that told him of his job,the was supposed to protect a young planet called Perelandra, but he did not know way we was being sent. This led to Ransom being carried crossed the galaxy and arrived at the most critical time in the development of this world. Weston was trying to corrupt the innocence that the Queen of the world had,also to disrupt the connection between her and the great Osyra,Maleldil but he did this in a way that made it seem that she could be older than Maleldil, and be like him. Ransom and Weston have many arguments but eventually Ransom resorted to attempting to kill Weston, or what was left of him, for he had been possessed by the bent one. Ransom defeated weston and found himself trapped in a cave but later found his way out leading him in to the mountains. The world of Perelandra is being handed from the great eldila that was watching over the world down to the to the first two humanoid creatures that inhabited the world much like our own Adam and Eve. All the creatures were called in twos to their presence.There was a grand conversation between them that lasted for a year with each of them speaking with their hearts and out of their love for Maleldil. Everyone new that it was time for Ransom to leave so he climbed into the casket after saying farewell he was carried home by Maleldil.This information was given to us early in the book but it is next in the timeline. Ransom landed in the back garden on Earth and to people were waiting for him and he proceeded to tell them about his journeys.
CS Lewis is a christian theologian and writer and he makes it very known that he loves and has a deep connection with God.

The the whole universe that he has created is heavily influenced by the christian thought process and all the beliefs that he holds. This story inpariular is based on the story of Adam and Eve and all it takes to ruin a whole world is many convincing lies. The story of early Perelandra is much like the start of our own world but the only difference is that the lady or Eve did not let the world to be consumed by evil. Another reason why he would have brought this to to people how much greater the world would be if evil did not enter our

lives.
In conclusion This is a critical point in the history of Perelandra that will decide the future of the this young and happy world. Ithar evil will take root in the minds of the inhabitants or Ransom will successfully repel it. In this wonderful continuation of CS lewis’s space series he shows us that sometimes the desire to grow smarter and good intechens can be clouded and changed into something bad.
