Your last paragraph! I never understood before right now, and I love it. I'm laughing. BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. (I feel like the little squirrel who loses his head and starts shouting "it's true!" Was that what he shouted? or something else before the White Witch bit her lip and turned the animals to stone in that scene?)

Yes, C.S. Lewis really did have a vivid imagination and a great knack for storytelling!
