White Witch: I can make anything you like to eat Edmund: Turkish Delight (Drop once again comes down and makes the box of Turkish Delight and the Dwarf gives it to Edmund) White Witch: Id love to see your family Edmund: Theyre nothing special White Witch: I have no children of my own and you are such a good little boy (I never could hear.
She got him to tell her that he had one brother and two sisters, and that one of his sisters had already been in Narnia and had met a Faun there, and that no one except himself and his brother and his sisters knew anything about Narnia. At first Edmund tried to remember that it is rude to speak with one’s mouth full, but soon he forgot about this and thought only of trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight as he could, and the more he ate the more he wanted to eat, and he never asked himself why the Queen should be so inquisitive. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Turkish delight is a symbol of Edmund’s mistakes and his want for something so much that he will hurt others to get it.While he was eating the Queen kept asking him questions. He was quite warm now, and very comfortable.Turkish delight is a candy made with starch and sugar that commonly comes in flavors like rose, orange, and lemon.
Probably the Queen knew quite well what he was thinking for she knew, though Edmund did not, that this was enchanted Turkish Delight and hat anyone who had once tasted it would want more and more of it, and would even, if they were allowed, go on eating it till they killed themselves. ‘Two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve, neither more nor less?” and Edmund, with his mouth full of Turkish Delight, kept on saying, “Yes, I told you that before,” and forgetting to call her “Your Majesty” but she didn’t seem to mind now.At last the Turkish Delight was all finished and Edmund was looking very hard at the empty box and wishing that she would ask him whether he would like some more. “You are sure there are just four of you?” she asked.
When he had first got on to the sledge he had been afraid that she might drive away with him to some unknown place from which he would not be able to get back, but he had forgotten about that fear now.“It is a lovely place, my house,” said the Queen. In my own house it would be another matter.”‘Why can’t we go to your house now?” said Edmund. I can’t do it now, the magic will only work once. Will you bring them to me?”“I’ll try,” said Edmund, still looking at the empty box.“Because, if you did come again—bringing them with you of course—I’d be able to give you some more Turkish Delight. Instead, she said to him,“Son of Adam, I should so much like to see your brother and your two sisters.
I think I would like to make you the Prince—some day, when you bring the others to visit me.”“Why not now?” said Edmund. While he was Prince he would wear a gold crown and eat Turkish Delight all day long and you are much the cleverest and handsomest young man I’ve ever met. I want a nice boy whom I could bring up as a Prince and who would be King of Narnia when I am gone. There are whole rooms full of Turkish Delight, and what’s more, I have no children of my own.
