Another discrepancy betwixt book and film. If they had included "Aslan's Burp"*, it would have been clear to viewers what happened to the White Witch.

sven, that is the only conclusion I could come to, but that was so .......(pardon the pun I guess) distasteful, I just thought maybe there was something I missed....ah well

The book says,
"...the great beast [Aslan] flung himself upon the White Witch. Lucy saw her face... Then Lion and Witch had rolled over together but with the Witch underneath:..."
"...and when those who were still living saw that the Witch was dead they either gave themselves up or took flight."
So in neither book nor film is the actual killing seen or described, but is implied and understood to have happened.

Great post, Stanley. I didn't know there was any serious debate about the White Witch and the Lady of the Green Kirtle. I won't drag all that up, then, by saying what I think about it, since it's no doubt stuff that's been rehashed ad nauseum long before I came around.
Enjoyed the stuff relating the witches to Lewis's other works. Lewis had a consistent vision if nothing else, eh?
