Edmund is Lucy’s older brother and Susan and Peter’s younger brother. He is a “spiteful” and cruel child who is easily duped by the White Witch and conscripted into her service on his first visit to Narnia. He is depicted as selfish and greedy—when the Witch serves him enchanted Turkish Delights in an attempt to bribe him into doing her bidding, he falls for her plot entirely, and is so determined to get his hands on more candy (and a Kingship) that he sells his siblings out to the Witch despite fully knowing that she is evil. Edmund, despite his traitorous ways, is a complex character who is often conflicted; he knows that many of his actions are wrong, deep down, but is usually too selfish to do the right thing. Aslan, the rightful King of Narnia, selflessly sacrifices himself to the White Witch in Edmund’s place, redeeming Edmund of his selfish and traitorous ways. By the end of the novel, Edmund returns from Narnia a much more thoughtful and just person, known for his clearheaded judgement.
