They are "heroes" in the traditional sense. In That Hideous Strength, most of the supporting protagonist cast don't do anything heroic or take any active part in the struggle. There's a big difference between the two books IMO. | |

I think it could be argued that The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe promotes this idea. Four ordinary children go to Narnia and save the world from the White Witch.

Since he's written a lot about religion and philosophy, I wonder if it's possible to demonstrate that this interpretation of That Hideous Strength is consistent with his views in general. | |
