In the sixth installment of "The Chronicles of Narnia", titled "The Magician's Nephew", Jadis is a witch, and Polly and Digory are friends that accidentally travel to her land from Earth. Jadis takes Polly and Digory into a garden to try to trick Digory into stealing fruit and joining the witch in immortality.
"The Magician's Nephew" by C.S. Lewis features key characters such as Digory Kirke, Polly Plummer, and Uncle Andrew. Digory and Polly are childhood friends who embark on a journey to different worlds with magical rings, while Uncle Andrew is a conniving magician responsible for many of the conflicts in the story.
Polly Plummer, a boy named Digory, Digory's Uncle Andrew, a witch named Jadis, and Aslan the great lion. There is also a London cabby and his horse named Strawberry but these two are IMHO secondary.
Uncle Andrew breaks his promise to Digory and Polly not to harm anyone when he tricks them into bringing Queen Jadis to London, putting many people in danger.
Queen Jadis, also known as the White Witch, enters the world of Narnia through the use of dark magic, dying worlds, and her ability to manipulate time and space. She was brought to Narnia by Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer when they inadvertently awakened her while exploring other worlds.
When Polly meets Digory in "The Magician's Nephew" by C.S. Lewis, Digory has been crying because he had just come back from visiting his dying mother. He was deeply upset and worried about her condition, which is why he was crying.
In his words, after admitting that he had been crying, "And so would you," he went on, "if you'd lived all your life in the country and had a pony, and a river at the bottom of the garden, and then been brought to live in a beastly Hole like this."
Polly and Digory use rings that Uncle Andrew gave them. These rings were yellow and green. One to take them to Narnia and other worlds, and one to take them home.
Aslan sent Digory on a journey to retrieve the apple of youth as a test of character and to teach him important lessons about responsibility and temptation. It was also part of a larger plan to heal Digory's mother and bring about redemption for Narnia.
In the book "The Chronicles of Narnia," the witch is called the White Witch or Jadis. She is a powerful and malevolent sorceress who rules over Narnia with an iron fist before being ultimately defeated by Aslan and the Pevensie children.
"The Magician's Elephant" is set in a European-inspired city that is filled with cobblestone streets, bustling markets, and grand buildings. The story takes place in a magical and somewhat whimsical world where an unexpected event sets off a chain of mysterious and enchanting occurrences.
Digory's uncle's name in "The Magician's Nephew" by C.S. Lewis is Andrew Ketterley. He is a failed magician who plays a pivotal role in the story by unwittingly sending Digory and his friend Polly on an adventure to other worlds.
Uncle Andrew manipulates Polly and Digory by appealing to their curiosity and sense of adventure. He convinces them to touch the magic rings by making them feel like they are missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore other worlds. He uses flattery and the promise of excitement to manipulate them into taking part in his dangerous experiment.
