Chapter 7: Who doesn't love torturing a good metaphor?
There's something to be said for metaphors and allegories, fairy tales, and hidden morals, but in reality, Susan might as well be up in an unbreachable tower for all their attempts to actually get to her.
Peter might snap a command, Edmund might try reason, and Lucy might beseech her with stories, but Susan just closes her shutters and trims her own mane before she'll let them in.
But there is no witch in this story and there is no prince to save her or be saved; Aslan told them that they were not meant to return to Narnia, and unlike the faithless Rapunzel, Susan shall obey this order-in this, her siblings are more Rapunzel than her.
(Besides, Susan knows how to metaphorically braid herself a rope of hair if she needs a ladder to escape once there's no one else to help her down in the future. Until then, she waits.)
