C. S. Lewis, Perelandra
Discussion Questions Relating to Ethics
- Ransom, the Lady, and Weston each use different models for ethical
decision making. What model does each one use? Using examples of where
each of them is at work, what are the key questions being asked and
the key characteristics of the ethical choices which are made in each
case?
- How does his series of ethical choices change Ransom as a person? How
does his series of choices change Weston? How fundamental are these
changes, i.e., do Ransom and/or Weston change who they ARE as a result
of these choices?
- How would Lewis define "salvation"? How does it work? What is the significance
of human endeavor?
- What kind of God inhabits this story? Does Lewis have a theology of
grace? What evidence can you give for your view?
