Book Two of Till We Have Faces turns Orual’s case against the gods inside out. Dreams, digging, and judgment strip the veil she wore for a lifetime until the complaint itself becomes confession.

In this Mythic Mind lecture from the Fiction and Philosophy of C.S. Lewis course, Dr. Andrew Snyder (professor of philosophy and theology) walks Lewis’s hardest section: the pillar room, “no fox to help you here,” and the moment Orual finally has a face to meet the gods.

Topics include jealousy as love’s counterfeit, myth that will not flatten into allegory, and why Lewis thought this his greatest novel.
