Time Really Is Relative

12 Spiritual Lessons from Prince Caspian One moment the Pevensie children are at a train station preparing to return to school, and the next they find themselves back in Narnia. Although an enormous amount of time has elapsed--1300 years since their last visit--when they return from Narnia at the end of the novel, hardly any time has passed in the "real" world.

The use of time in "Prince Caspian" seems to be a metaphorical nod to the biblical concept found in I Peter: "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." The Pevensies learn that what may seem in important in the moment is not necessarily important many years later--yet Aslan, the God symbol, always remains the same.
