Here, Jill realizes that she has already failed the task Aslan gave her, which may make the rest of the journey all the more difficult. Although Jill’s failure is not ideal, her worry suggests that she cares about what Aslan thinks, as well as the task at hand. Indeed, she will spend much of the novel worrying that she has either missed or misinterpreted Aslan’s signs. Her struggle recalls the Christian desire to properly interpret and carry out the word of God.
