What happens to Susan in the last battle and does Caspian return to?

Question

I have heard that Susan does not return to Narnia in the last battle. Does she return after she heard about Lucy,Edmund and Peter about the fact they died in a railway accident? I have not read the book yet. I like spoilers. So does Susan return to Narnia after she hear the news about Lucy,Edmund and,Peter fate? Does Caspian return to?

Answer 1

***ALL SPOILERS***

Susan, who is no longer a friend of Narnia and does not believe in Narnia any longer, doesn't come back to Narnia. One presumes she'll come back to Aslan at some point in her life (but not in the books), because Aslan had told them that he could be found on Earth under a different name.

Caspian, who died at the end of The Silver Chair, does come back at the end. You see him in The Last Battle and in the heavenly (or real) Narnia. (The Silver Chair is about his son, Rilian, and was the fourth book C.S. Lewis published. It was published right after The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.)

***Note to Mrs. Gilbert Blythe (Anne of Green Gables is a great series), it's not that C.S. Lewis is saying Susan is any less of a person. She stopped BELIEVING in Narnia. Peter, who was older, did not stop believing - so it wasn't age but attitude that caused it. Susan became vain and all her attention was focused on self. There is some evidence that the other three Pevensie children no longer got along with her, because she had become stuck up. C.S. Lewis was not making a sexist point; he could just as easily have made Peter be the one who had become self-absorbed. From the beginning, however, Susan's character had a tendency to a slight snobbishness and vanity. It was more natural to follow the seeds of vanity to their possible conclusion than to suddenly throw a character flaw that hadn't been there on Peter.

Answer 2

I think it's dumb that just because Susan grows up and shows "interest in boys and make-up" does not mean she is any less of a human being. Even modern children's writers like JK Rowling think this is quite sexist of CS Lewis.

Answer 3

SPOILER SPOILER

We never find out what happens to Susan.  She is "no longer a friend of Narnia," at the time of the story, but she presumably has a lifetime to change her mind.  

Since her sister, brothers, mother, and father were all killed in the accident, it's likely that her life will not continue on the same path, anyway.  That's a pretty big jolt.
