Brandon Duke-Horse and His Boy

I find the section in "The Horse and His Boy" where Aslan tells Aravis that he was the loin that clawed her back very interesting. I say this because, Aslan tells Aravis he did this so that she could know what the maid went through after she escaped (the maid or whoever it was, was whipped)

This seems to mirror the "eye for a eye" rule found in the old testament. But, Jesus says that we are now under grace and says don't return harm for harm. I go back and forth with this issue a lot, since as a society we need to keep a level of order and this is done with the judicial system where people are punished. And of course there needs to be consequences for actions because people would do whatever they wanted if not.

I know that Lewis claims that he is not writing a one to one story line with the bible but still. I mean i think it was cool that Aslan did what he did because it really showed Aravis how her action effect other people. I am just not sure where i stand on the theology of it.
