The Horse and His Boy	comment	The fifth book written for The Chronicles of Narnia series and the third book chronologically; a midquel that takes place during the reign of the Pevensies in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The Horse and His Boy is the only book in the series where no action takes place in our world. It tells the story of four runaways from the southern kingdom Calormen — the peasant boy Shasta, the Rebellious Princess Aravis, and two Narnian horses Bree and Hwin — whose quest for their own freedom soon turns into a mission to warn Narnia and Archenland of an impending invasion by the Calormene prince Rabadash. The journey will take them through the great city of Tashbaan, across the treacherous desert that borders Calormen, and over the mountains that separate Archenland from their ultimate goal — Narnia and the North!Unlike other books in the Narnia series, this one is not mythic in scope (until the ending, where certain epic deeds are done and The Reveal is... revealed.) Royalty is mentioned only in passing until the finale, there are barely any religious or magical elements, and the protagonists don't have a ready-made court of willing, loyal Narnians ready to help them through any troubles they have. The novel makes it clear that our heroes are alone in a largely hostile world, and that no one will respect them until they've earned respect. The plot focuses mainly on the four's long, long journey to Narnia, the sights they see and things they learn, and the Character Development everyone goes through in doing so.

The Horse and His Boy / int_10978c26	type	Runaway FiancÃ©
The Horse and His Boy / int_10978c26	comment	Runaway FiancÃ©: Aravis again. She was engaged to the much older Ahoshta Tarkaan, aka the Grand Vizier, as both a way to gain power for her nobleman father and an excuse for her Wicked Stepmother to get rid of her. We only hear her side of the story, but it's clear that she doesn't want to marry the evil, ugly old politician; the conference between her betrothed, the Tisroc, and Rabadash makes it equally clear that her initial judgment was sound.

Note that Bree is a talking horse. Also, it was established back in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe that ghouls indeed exist in the Narniverse, though since Bree was taken from Narnia at a young age — he wasn't even aware that Aslan was a real lion — he may not have known this.

She is friendly, likable and Spoiled Sweet — but also conditioned by Calormen's horrible culture of slavery and oppression, which she has never had reason (or opportunity) to question. Thus, she is casual and even cheerful about things like arranged marriages and random death threats to the servants, though in an innocently thoughtless rather than cruel manner.

The Horse and His Boy / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
The Horse and His Boy / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Lewis uses Bree to poke fun at those who de-mythologize Christianity (saying that Christ was an inspired teacher, for example), by having him say that Aslan isn't really a lion, he's just 'strong as a lion' or as 'fierce as a lion'. The quite literal (and highly amused) lion is right behind him as he says this. Tash, the god of a coded Middle Eastern country is wrongfully believed to be just another name for Aslan. This reflects the common belief that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. Lewis, a devout Christian, probably wouldn't agree. (Although in The Last Battle Aslan notes it doesn't matter what name you give to the one you worship, it is your deeds that decide to whom your prayers actually go.)

The Horse and His Boy / int_19851b86	comment	The Sociopath: Rabadash is a bad enough Caligula that he might well be a clinical psychopath. While he is presented as a competent warrior, fairly intelligent and superficially charming (at least when he cares to be), his personality as such has few admirable traits. When the mask slips, he is very unrestrainedly abusive, physically and verbally (at one point, he casually kicks his father's grand vizier, or basically the prime minister of the government, while said official is literally face down in prostration before them), and though very concerned about the public perception of his dignity and honor, he shows absolutely no compunctions about perfidy and treachery when such actions are the most efficient way to get him what he wants. His hastily composed scheme of going to war to force Susan to comply with his plans for her shows his impulsivity, grandiosity and Lack of Empathy all at once. Throughout the book, he never evinces the slightest trace of any genuinely noble sentiment, or indeed any concern about anything or anyone but himself.

The Horse and His Boy / int_1b8cef9c	comment	The High Queen: Queen Susan. Prince Corin describes her as "like an ordinary grown-up lady". Queen Lucy features as well but she doesn't fit the trope — essentially being a grown up version of her Genki Girl self. Corin's off-hand description of Susan becomes utterly chilling in the light of The Last Battle, though Lewis scholars are undecided whether this is a case of Production Foreshadowing or Harsher in Hindsight.

His brief appearance is an interesting deconstruction of the Evil Vizier trope, though, as his seemingly fat and decadent master is every bit the cool-headed pragmatic ruler that his immediate circle aren't.

The Horse and His Boy / int_1e7c47ab	comment	Stealth Pun: The grand vizier describing Rabadash's familial love as a "carbuncle." (This usually means "ruby" but can also mean "festering sore.") Rabadash calls Queen â€œthe false jadeâ€� among other names. A jade is a semi-precious stone, so initially it seems as though this is a nod to the tendency of men of comparing their lovers to jewels. However, â€œjadeâ€� is also an old fashioned way of calling a woman a whore.

The horses, particularly Bree, are explicit about their physical limits (no "galloping for a day and a night" or anything crazy like that). Further, the threat of "Rabadash and two hundred horse" drops from 'legendary' to 'big but manageable' when Bree points out that all those riders have to be awakened, their horses saddled, provisioned, watered, etc., so the children and their horses will have a couple hours' head start.

Prince Corin sneaks into the Battle of Anvard, dragging Shasta with him, and the only reason he's not officially in the fighting is because of his age. And in fairness, even Rabadash leads his cavalry across the desert, is first in the charge against Anvard, and winds up fighting King Edmund himself.

It would never work in Calormen, of course, because all of their poetry is practical and instructive. As it turns out, the Narnians are furious and view it as very dishonorable that Rabadash would commit what was essentially an act of war with no declaration.

She's never anything but kind to Aravis, despite Aravis's short temper and impatience with her, risks her life to help her, and overcomes her fear in the end, albeit with a bit of prodding.

It's implied that beyond the sensibility of the argument, it works partially because Hwin gives Aravis a means of escape, partially because holy crap a talking horse?! helps snap her out of it, and partially because Hwin kneels down and places her own head between the dagger and Aravis' heart to show how much she cares.

The Horse and His Boy / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
The Horse and His Boy / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Lewis was fond of this trope, and thus there are quite a few times where the characters try to do something "just like in stories" and get shot down by more realistic writing. Susan and the Narnians discuss barricading themselves in their embassy and having a heroic Last Stand, but decide against it because the Calormenes would simply burn the house down. Even with a Sapient Steed like Bree, it takes Shasta quite a few falls and bruises before he's able to ride properly. Bree also doesn't need (or want) to be reined or spurred, so Shasta has no idea how to control the non-sapient steed he rides later. Shasta and Aravis enter Tashbaan dressed as peasants, with Bree and Hwin pretending to be pack-horses. However, Bree is a well-trained and muscular war stallion and visibly out of place. The ruse nearly falls apart at the very beginning when a gate guard comments on Shasta using his master's prize horse for grunt work. When Aravis brings word of Rabadash's attack, she and Shasta initially panic because they assume it's happening immediately. Bree then points out that it will take a while to get an army of 200 cavalry ready to cross a desert, and as two riders they have a significant head start. Bree and Hwin have spent so long in captivity being forced to do things that their own willpower has dwindled to nothing. It takes a lion showing up and chasing them actually Aslan, knowing they'd need the motivation to get them to Archenland in time to warn the king.

The Horse and His Boy / int_7e716d9f	comment	Expansion Pack World: In role-playing terms, this is the world-book for Calormen; Lewis does an excellent job of detailing its culture, down to the food, in a short novel. Often overlooked is the job Lewis did of foreshadowing it. The first Calormene characters appear in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; the unregenerate Eustace says that Calormen "sounds the least phony of these countries." The entire story is referenced in The Silver Chair, as the entertainment after a banquet at Cair Paravel: "the grand old tale... which is called The Horse and His Boy.... (I haven't time to tell it now, though it is well worth hearing.)" And the very first reference to Calormen comes in Prince Caspian, as the Pevensies are realizing not only where, but when they are: "...it was the very day before the ambassadors came from the King of Calormen...." It's not certain that Lewis intended this, but by implication this throwaway line recalls the start of Queen Susan's ill-fated romance with Rabadash!

In Aravis's case, it becomes part of her Character Development to learn from Aslan himself, no less, that this is not acceptable.

The Horse and His Boy / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: Yeesh, Rabadash! First, his whole plan relies on speed: step one is take the royal castle in Archenland by surprise, then step two is quickly rush to Cair Paravel before Susan's ship arrives. Shasta successfully warns King Lune in time, so the Archenland castle is sealed. Rabadash ought to know full well that he doesn't have time to lay siege to the castle. He should've called it quits and turned around right then and there, but whether from pride or lust, he doesn't. He wastes critical time trying to take the Archenland castle, and now, instead of him being at Cair Paravel in time to catch Susan, King Edmund (who was on Susan's ship, no less!) rides out with an army from Cair Paravel to rescue his Archenland allies at the besieged castle. Basically what happens is the polar opposite of Rabadash's plan. Next, Rabadash gets captured in battle by the Narnians and Archenlanders and, even though they treat him quite nicely as a royal prisoner of war, he continues to throw fits and refuse to negotiate with them and threatens them all, even though they could easily have his head for it. This despite the fact that his father had told him in so many words that Calormen would not rescue or even avenge Rabadash if he failed. Then he continues to act like this while Aslan is in the room, even when he's told to shut up or something bad will happen to him.

The Horse and His Boy / int_be76ecf7	comment	A Slave to the Index: Slavery and freedom are a main theme of the book, and some variety of unfreedom drives the actions of all the main characters: Shasta is effectively a slave to his adoptive father and nearly becomes one officially; Bree, a Talking Horse, is treated as property like a dumb animal; Hwin's situation is much the same; Aravis, though a noblewoman, can be married without her own consent as long as her parents approve. They all flee to the North seeking control over their lives. At the same time, they learn that there are rules to which even free persons must submit. Also, the institution as such permeates Calormen's hierarchical society. The casual way all the Calormene characters (including the very protagonists who seek to escape it) consider the widespread slavery a matter of course, and how the subject comes up off-handedly every now and then in the narration and dialogue, will be striking to many modern readers. Even Aravis is allowed to say that she misses her slaves, as well as her fine clothes and other nice things she had to leave behind when she ran away from home. Of course, all of this is very much Deliberate Values Dissonance, and meant to show that even "good" people are affected by the culture they live in.

Secondly, if Rabadash gets Susan, it will keep his Hot-Blooded impulses in check for a while (a lot of Tisrocs were booted into the afterlife by their impatient sons). Thirdly, if Rabadash is captured or killed, the Tisroc can disavow him faster than the Secretary disavowed a failed IMF agent and he'll be rid of a difficult son he can easily spare. Shasta and Aslan's intervention ends up stymieing all of those outcomes, and it's not mentioned what the Tisroc thinks about the end result.

The Horse and His Boy / int_d9563969	type	Failed Attempt at Drama
The Horse and His Boy / int_d9563969	comment	Failed Attempt at Drama: Rabadash, at least twice. While dueling with Edmund, he decides to leap down on him and yell "The bolt of Tash falls from above!" It would have looked very impressive if he hadn't gotten his hauberk caught on a hook in the process, leaving him dangling helplessly like laundry. He later tries to intimidate the Archenland court by making faces, since it frightens his own people in Calormen. Unfortunately, it only works because he's the crown prince and could have them killed horribly at his whim. When he's a prisoner, King Lune and company are just confused and wonder if he's going to be sick.

Averted by Susan, who is "more like an ordinary grown-up lady" and prefers not to go to war when she has a choice, though she is still an excellent archer. Aravis, to a lesser extent. She doesn't fight directly, but she's still undergoing a dangerous quest by her own free will.

The Horse and His Boy / int_db912a80	comment	The Good King: Edmund and Lune. Lune gives a good summation of the job — see The Chains of Commanding, above. Also, Rabadash in a way: since he couldn't go to war due to Aslan's curse, he did wonderful things for Calormen's education system and became a fine diplomat. Of course, the Calormenes didn't respect a Tisroc who wouldn't make war — plus everyone had seen him change back from being a donkey — so he went down in history as Rabadash the Ridiculous.

In the epilogue, it's mentioned that he travels around subduing enemies of the kingdom, winning both happiness and glory.

The Horse and His Boy / int_ddcc433d	comment	...In That Order: Lasaraleen tells her servants that if they reveal Aravis' presence, she'll have them beaten to death, burnt alive, and then kept on bread and water for six weeks — rather ineffectual punishments if done in that order, and a display of her casual, lazy attitude.analysis This allows Lewis to make her a kind of Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain, which is necessary because she is a friend of Aravis and helps her, but she is still a Calormene noblewoman and a product of her culture. (That none of Lasaraleen's servants are described as reacting to this with any alarm suggests this is a habit of hers, and one no longer taken especially seriously.)

The Horse and His Boy / int_e3db4c07	comment	Also, the institution as such permeates Calormen's hierarchical society. The casual way all the Calormene characters (including the very protagonists who seek to escape it) consider the widespread slavery a matter of course, and how the subject comes up off-handedly every now and then in the narration and dialogue, will be striking to many modern readers. Even Aravis is allowed to say that she misses her slaves, as well as her fine clothes and other nice things she had to leave behind when she ran away from home. Of course, all of this is very much Deliberate Values Dissonance, and meant to show that even "good" people are affected by the culture they live in.

To be clear, he has had little rest beforehand, just jumped off a speeding horse, which knocked the wind out of him, and stared down an angry lion in order to save his friends. He is then forced to make a mad dash, also without rest, to King Lune and his party. He notes beforehand how tired he is, that he feels as if he has no energy. Yet all he asks when the Hermit informs him that he must go is where the King is.

He's genuinely loyal and grateful to the Tisroc but is happy to support a plan that may result in the death of Prince Rabadash (who, to be perfectly honest, is a really detestable person). (And it's implied that he's more like a Yes-Man with some ideas for the Tisroc to implement than someone that wants the top spot; in this he'd be like almost every other member of the nobility.)

He mentions this happened to more than five Tisrocs. When he becomes Tisroc, Rabadash doesn't go to war against his neighbors because his generals might win glory while he's stuck at home, and "that is how Tisrocs get overthrown."

Corin seems to be considering continuing the switch for a bit for fun when he finds Shasta in his place, but Shasta, who's used to Calormene attitudes and thinks the Narnians will kill him if they realise he's not Corin, refuses. To Corin and Shasta's later surprise, they really are twins.

A Calormene agent, correctly presuming that this great danger would be an incursion from Calormen, kidnapped him in an attempt to prevent the prophecy coming true. Circumstances prevented him from killing the baby, which was raised in Calormen, and eventually got wind of Prince Rabadash's plot to invade Archenland, and so the prophecy came true.

The idea that Peter might know his sister better than that never crosses their minds.
