In C.S. Lewis’s ‘Prince Caspian,’ Prince Caspian represents the biblical figure of King David. Both characters share several similarities. Prince Caspian is a young, rightful heir to the throne who must fight to reclaim his kingdom from a usurper, much like David, who was anointed king but had to wait and fight to claim his throne from Saul. Both figures are depicted as brave, just, and chosen by a higher power to lead their people. Caspian’s journey to restore Narnia parallels David’s efforts to establish and maintain his kingdom in accordance with God’s will. This allegorical representation highlights themes of faith, leadership, and divine providence.
