At the beginning of the novel, Jill did not have the courage to stand up to her bullies. She cried alone behind the gym, hoping no one would come looking for her. However, now, with Aslan, Scrubb, and Caspian behind her, she feels emboldened to stand up to her bullies. The result of her courage leads to a change in the power structure of the school, which Lewis identifies as the problem in the first chapter of the novel. However, regardless of what the school chooses to do, Jill and Scrubb now have a valuable moral education that they received from Aslan and their adventures in Narnia.
