The story is told from the third person omniscient point of view – that is, from the perspective of a storytelling narrator who has insight into the thoughts and feelings of all the characters. Rarely do any of the animal characters, including Aslan, receive the same kind of narrative attention as the human characters, something that can be seen as a manifestation of the Bible’s contention that humans are given dominion over the animals. In any case, it is the human perspective that dominates the narrative – the inner lives of the animal characters are inferred through their actions.
