Adventure In the Chronicles,adventure is a metaphor for life in it's highest realization.There is no turning back from the adventure,for it

is only in leaving the the known for the unknown that honour may truly be found be found. The meaning of adventure is perhaps made most clear to the two characters who have hardly an inkling of it's meaning: Jill and Eustance the 2 victims of Experiment House. Both are un-prepared to deal with the adventures as they come that they learn what adventures as they are able to bring back with them and infuse Narnian life, into the pale shadow of England. Queen Susan the first to use the word adventure and notes that people who have had similar adventures,share a special speech and look. Reepicheep is perhaps the greatest adventurer in all the Chronicles. He is the first to leap into adventure,and considers turning away to be cowardice. He proclaims the entire purpose of the Dawn Treader voyage to be a search for honour and adventure,and takes his own final adventure aloan and valiant,into the Utter East.                          In the Silver Chair,Rilian underscore Reepicheep belief that adventure is not to be taken lightly.When the children and Puddlegum are trying to guess the meaning of the fireworks he says ' "...when once a man is launched on such an adventure as this,he must bid farewell to hopes and fears,otherwise death or dilverence will both come too late to save his honour and his reason,' "Rilian gives adventure another meaning.His faith in  in the truth of Aslan gives him confidence to say, "...let us descend into the City and take the adventure that is sent to us"
