Cassy:

A bit off-topical, sorry, but this thing always nugged me about Narnia -
that Aslan KNEW beforehand that he will come back to life. Not much of a
sacrifice, was it? I mean, dying is certainly not pleasant, but when you
know for sure that it's not permanent and you'll be back alive and kicking
soon, it can be endured. Thus all idea of a self-sacrifice seemed quite
diminished to me in that book.
