Is it very kinky of me to admit I found the White Witch a bit of a turn-on? I was half-hoping for some bestial sex when Aslan jumped her. Lewis would be turning in his grave (to hide his hard-on, of course).
The white witch is a great villain but just so derivative of Grimmβs fairy tale villain archetypes. The relentless powerful and beautiful witch with dominion over a kingdom and magic is overdone in fiction. But I get what Lewis was going for with her.
He needed to write a Satanic figure to temp his Judas (Edmund) . Tilda Swinton was perfect playing her in the film.

If you like Lewis, you should read his
Preface to Paradise Lost
. I disagree with his arguments in defense of Milton's depictions of Satan/God (especially when viewed within the context of Milton's politics), but he certainly does the best job of justifying the ways of Milton to men.

I'd say Lewis is maybe the best Milton critic of all time. He and Eliot got into it a few times over Milton, and Lewis came off pretty well. -

I think he was in love with Bucky the twink.
But I must emphasize again, "YouMightBeRabbitYouMight"? That is one of the most annoying user names I've ever seen online.

Itβs a direct quote from an episode of looney tunes. And he was in fact, a looney tune.

You strike me as someone who wears a mask in his own home, alone, and posts things on Twitter like "Wear a mask. That's it, that's the tweet."
