 SparkNotes: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe: Analysis of Major Characters
Aslan's amazing love for the Narnia people, even Edmund, a traitor, is demonstrated with painful clarity when Aslan sacrifices his own life to save Edmund.
Aslan the lion lives a similar life as Christ the man, but by using this allegorical device, Lewis can present the story to children with far more immediacy and vividness than could be obtained in any but the most breathtaking reading of the Bible.
With the exception of Edmund, when the children meet Aslan they are powerfully drawn to him.

 Madalyn Aslan : What You Can Expect From Your Reading
Aslan has not been able to heal is her own love life, it seems.
She was, she said, in "Priest of Love," a 1981 movie starring Ian McKellan as D.H. Lawrence, and in the television mini-series "The Martian Chronicles" (1980) with Rock Hudson.
Now that she's a full-time psychic, she's writing a roman a clef with the working title "Heir to a Feral Wonderland." It is based on her rootless childhood and what she calls the "healing power of psychic development."

Aslan, on the other hand, rules by virtue of his wisdom and moral superiority.
Aslan's love is broad, including all of Narnia, or at least all of that which is good in Narnia.

 Mythlore: "The whole art and joy of words": Aslan's speech in the Chronicles of Narnia - Critical Essay
Although allegory is disavowed, Aslan is clearly a character redolent of divinity and with godlike connotations.
It is obvious that C. Lewis took the character of Aslan very seriously and intended that he should be suggestive of the Christian Son of God.
This would differentiate Aslan's speech from that of other characters and might fittingly recall the language of the King James Authorised Version of the Bible.

 Aslan
Aslan the Lion is a character from C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia.
In Chronicles, Aslan is symbolic of Jesus Christ, who likewise sacrificed Himself to save mankind from perpetual darkness, and, upon His returning to life, freed us from slavery to fear and death.
In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the second book of the Chronicles series, Aslan, the rightful ruler of the magical land of Narnia, sacrifices himself to save Narnia from the tyrannical rule of the evil White Witch.

 What Order Should I Read C.S Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia In?
Saying 'Aslan is Jesus' misses the point of the books: Aslan works precisely because he is not Jesus—because there are no stained glass windows and teachers and stupid hymns telling us we ought to love him.
Now, to my mind, every attempt to say 'you should read the books in this order, you should read them in that order' is an attempt to hierarchise the types of reading-experience, and thus to encourage a particular interpretation.
He gradually, and out of order, reads the whole lot—although he himself does not know that he is finished because he does not know what Lewis wrote.

 Breath of Aslan
It is men, not God, who have produced racks, whips, prisons, slavery, guns, bayonets, and bombs; it is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork.
Maybe Aslan's breath symbolizes God giving a new life to us and releasing us from bondage.
Being turned into stone could symbolize the Devil's hold on us, much like the witch's hold on her victims.

Maskhadov was not a fanatic, though he may have been at least a true believer in Islam (Dudayev, though fond of peppering his speeches with calls to Allah, was almost certainly an atheist).
Prior to the start of the second war, they had quarreled and most likely tried to murder him (see our dossier file on Aslan Maskhadov for the history before it succumbs to myth).
It's all true with the only substantial difference that in Chechnya there really is nobody else to be negotiating with because Aslan Maskhadov was the only person who believed that there was still something to talk about with Moscow.
