Why is Aslan a lion?
In a letter, Lewis wrote about how he came up with the character of Aslan. He wrote that Aslan was what Christ might have looked like had he been born in a world of talking beasts instead of humans. Lewis chose a lion to further cement this image as Christ is often referred to as the Lion of Judah.
