Chesterton said a problem drama of the modern psychological type is impossible on card board theatres, but "the last judgement" would be easy.
However, there are parts of the LB which do come closer to the former extreme. Like how Puzzle reacts to Shift or how Poggin and the other dwarfs (I guess saying dwarves is inappropriate for Narnia) react to Jill's disclosure.
My take on it in my fan fic is that Polly's words are said by Polly before Lucy suggests asking Aslan about it. While CSL bases most of LB on Susan's dreams (including the one in which she hears Polly saying that), Susan only after sending the near completed story (a part on the rings is CSL's modification, to hide what really happened to them in our world) gets the other dream that continues the conversation and where they do ask Aslan about it.Esprit wrote:So, months later I've come back to this thread with another idea. What if there is a tiny scene (maybe after a portion of the credits) in which we get an idea as to Susan's fate?
My take is also that Polly was not (despite already being in Heaven) speaking prophetically, but simply giving her human assessment, before Lucy's suggestion changed things very radically for Susan. It is just after the trainwreck that Susan has her first dream, in which she hears Polly's reproach.
Anyone interested in my fan fic, ask Ajnos for link.
