    Literally Jesus. Many people think Aslan the lion was intended to be an allegory for Jesus but Lewis from what I understand did not intend for The Chronicles of Narnia to be an allegory for Christianity but rather a supposition of sorts. Aslan is literally Jesus, in the Narnian universe. Like in our universe we call him Jesus and he died on the cross and in the Narnian universe his name is Aslan and he dies on a stone table. It's more like a Jesus fan fiction than a Jesus allegory. That's how Christian it is. Lewis answers the question "What would Jesus look like if he existed in a fantasy universe"

      I now need a Passion of the Aslan where all the Narnia characters reenact the actual crucifixion of Jesus. Overly melodramatic portrayal of Jesus by a man in a lion suit.
