Editing Eustace Scrubb (section)

==Personality ==
Eustace is portrayed at first as arrogant, whiny, and self-centered. It can be gathered from Eustace's behavior, and the tone that Lewis used in describing his family and school, that Lewis thought such behavior silly and disliked it a great deal. In fact, at the beginning of ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'', [[Lucy Pevensie|Lucy]] and [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]] dislike visiting him and his parents, though that has mostly to do with Eustace's arrogant and unfriendly attitude, and he also calls his parents by their first names. However, the book deals with his rehabilitation (just as ''[[The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe]]'' dealt with Edmund's) and in the later books, he is an altogether better person, becoming a hero along with his friend Jill Pole, although he still sometimes tends to be a know-it-all. It is mentioned in the ''Silver Chair'' that Eustace is [[Fear of heights|afraid of heights]], causing him to overreact when Jill goes too close to the edge of a cliff. In trying to stop her he falls. In other respects, Eustace displays great courage and a fair degree of discernment in facing the challenges that confront him in the Narnian world.
