INKLINGS Q & A: What did Lewis identify as the source for his White Witch in the Narnia stories?
A: Lewis gave different answers, sometimes identifying her with the sorceress Circe in "The Odyssey," other times comparing her to the Snow Queen in Hans Christian Anderson or "She Who Must Be Obeyed" in the Rider Haggard novel. Ultimately, he called her an Archetype, saying, "We are all born knowing the Witch, aren't we?"
