All Get What They Want...They Do Not Always Like It

In C.S. Lewis’ The Magician’s Nephew, Jadis (later to become the White Witch) steals and eats the fruit of life. She got what she wanted: long life, vigor, unmatched strength and power. She did not like it, however. Immediately, the fruit made her extremely pale, long term it brought pain and evil. She tempted Digory to steal some of the fruit to heal his mother. True to its nature, the fruit would have healed her, but because of its stolen nature, the healing would have been worse than death. Everything in life works according to its nature, but it is not always what we expect.
