Le lieu

After a terrible storm, the Voyage of the Dawn Treader docks in a bay surrounded by steep mountains. Eustace goes off to avoid chores and gets lost in a valley. He sees an old dragon dying, then takes shelter in its cave and falls asleep on its treasure, thinking about his riches.

Dans les livres

Ce qui s’y passe (révèle l’intrigue)

He wakes up transformed into a dragon, a gold bracelet tight around his paw. Alone and miserable, he realizes how unpleasant he has been and becomes helpful. One night, Aslan leads him to a well, removes his dragon skin, and bathes him. Eustace becomes a boy again, changed inside.

The bracelet belonged to Lord Octesian, one of the seven lords, possibly dead or himself transformed into a dragon. The old site also mentioned the Burnt Island, a nearby blackened island where the remains of a village and a small coracle can be found.

It is a mountainous island, covered in forests, with a sheltered bay. The Dawn Treader lands there after a storm. In a valley, an old dragon dies near a pool beside its treasure.

L'Odyssée du Passeur d'Aurore — Eustache s’y change en dragon en s’endormant sur le trésor. Aslan le guérit près d’un puits, au sommet d’une montagne. Le nom de l’île lui vient de cet épisode.

  • The "de-dragonization" of Eustace, skin by skin, is one of the most discussed passages in Lewis : it is an image of inner change that one cannot achieve alone.
