"Some Christians simply do not understand how to read fiction. I have heard C. S. Lewis ... criticized for believing that people in Hell can take bus trips to Heaven where they might get a second chance (a failure to interpret the allegory and the symbolism of The Great Divorce). Those who seek to ban The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe because of the witch in the title exhibit a similar problem. Such Christians may know how to read words, but they do not know you to read fiction, how to interpret its figurative and parable-like way of exploring reality."
