What is the climax of the story The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis?
In Order for me to help you understand the climax of this story i must sum it up.
So heres this baby called Shasta he has been found by Arsheesh and he decides to raise him, The story begins that Shasta overhears Arsheesh agreeing to sell him to a powerful Calormene noble. Shasta has never really loved the fisherman especially not as a father, and is relieved to discover that he is not really Arsheesh's son, and is exited to meet his new master in the donkey stable outside the fisherman's house. The noble's stallion, Bree, astounds Shasta by speaking to him, and suggesting that they escape a life of servitude together by riding north for Narnia. They meet another pair of escaping travellers, Aravis, a young Calormene aristocrat, and her talking horse, Hwin. Aravis is fleeing a forced marriage to the Tisrox's grand visor. The four must travel through Taashban, the capital city of Calormen. There they encounter a procession of visiting Narnian royalty, who mistake Shasta for Corin, a prince of Archenland, who has disappeared from their group earlier that day. Shasta is too scared to protest, and goes with the Narnians. He overhears them discussing their escape from Tashbaan and Calormen in order to prevent Rabadash from forcing Queen Susan to marry him. When Shasta is alone, the real Prince Corin reappears and Shasta escapes. Meanwhile, Aravis has been spotted by her noblewoman friend Lasaraleen and must ask Lasaraleen to not only keep silent about Aravis's identity but help her escape. Lasaraleen agrees, although she cannot understand why Aravis would want to leave the life of a Calormene princess. She helps Aravis to escape through the palace, but they are forced to take refuge when the Tisroc, Rabadash and the Grand Vizier approach. Unfortunately, they've hidden in the very room in which the men are about to meet. Aravis overhears the Tisroc and Rabadash discussing the Narnians' escape and the Tisroc giving Rabadash permission to invade Archenland in preparation for attacking Narnia. Outside the city, Aravis rejoins Shasta and the Horses. The four of them make an unpleasant journey across the desert and a pursuing lion (later revealed to be Aslan) frightens the travellers into fleeing swiftly enough to outrun Rabadash's army, allowing Shasta to reach King Lune in time to warn him of the approaching Calormenes. The Archenland army prepares their defenses against the Calormenes until a second army from Narnia can arrive. King Lune of Archenland recognizes Shasta as Cor, the long-lost elder twin of Prince Corin and therefore heir to the throne. Aravis and Cor live in Archenland thereafter and eventually marry years later. It is stated in tongue-in-check manner that the marriage enables them to argue more efficiently. It is also stated that their son becomes the most famous king of Archenland. The Climax of this story is that Shasta is escaping the life of unpleasantness to be with his friends and his crush. Although things dont go that well he manages to get to dessert later on to find he is the long lost prince of the city.

The book Prince Caspian focuses on the biblical principles such as staying true to your faith and believing in the unseen. The old Narnians represent those who believe, the Christians who were driven underground, and the Telmarines are the unbelievers.

As the characters ask why Aslan can't be seen and why he didn't show up sooner for it would have been so much easier if he had been there to fix everything. In the book it is Peter who states, "We don't know when He will act. In His time, no doubt, not ours. In the meantime He would like us to do what we can on our own."

Why did C.S. Lewis name the lion Aslan and the Witch Jadis?
The name Aslan is Arslan in its Turkish origin and means 'lion'. It was used as a title borne or byname by medieval Turkish rulers. It is said that C.S. Lewis discovered the name in a footnote in Edward Lane's commentary/translation of The Thousand and One Nights also known as The Arabian Night's Entertainmentsand Lewis was inspired to use the name when he was in the Ottoman Empire(modern day Turkey) and was impressed with the Sultan's elite guards who were called Aslan due to their bravery and loyalty. The name Jadis on the other hand is incredibly difficult to find information on. One possible reason that Lewis used this name is that Jadis in the French language means 'days of old, yore, long ago'. This name could have been used because the British were familiar with the French and/or the meaning of Jadis refers to the witch's history, from the city of Charn in a whole different world from Narnia, as a person or ruler of old. Of course though this is just speculation.
