One reader I know wondered how maybe rather than the popular trope of Edmund involved in the spycraft, would actually make a point of never going within a mile of anything morally ambiguous. FOR REAL, THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.
Ahem. I really like both your views on the Edmund&Jadis relationship. It's such a hard thing because while I think he would perhaps continue to feel guilty, I also really feel like he had no reason to because essentially he and Lucy did the same thing, only Lucy had better luck with Tumnus than he did with Jadis. And I am not always a fan of the sexual slant, either. :/
I really hate the "I was a traitor, cue eternal angst and needing to be forgiven" nonsense, because I don't really feel that Edmund *was* much of a traitor, and he seems pretty chill about having forgiven himself in VDT and HHB.
(Speaking of traitors, do either of you think that Aravis or Shasta would have trouble dealing with the fact that they did, in point of fact, betray their country? Idk.)
