[edit] Allegorical signficance

This is likely to be a controversial topic, so I want to start by discussing. Is Tumnus more representative of the "natural" man or "virtuous" pagan of Romans 2, whose conscience either "accuses" or "excuses" or, perhaps, the moral standing of the Jews (or a faction of them such as the Herodians or the Sadducees) in the time before Christ?

After little reflection I have opted for the Romans 2 interpretation and will note the article accordingly. Ellsworth 22:02, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] characters template

can we put a character templates in narnia character articles? i've seen harry potter and others, and maybe narnia deserve to have it as well. HoneyBee 23:28, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page location

Following a copy&paste move of this article between Mr. Tumnus and Tumnus, I've merged the article's history back here. Is there any consensus as to whether the correct article title should be Mr. Tumnus or Tumnus? _└ ^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 21:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• I fixed the copy and paste move, restoring the relevant page history. Teke ^(talk) 05:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Definitely think the period should be there. "Mr. Tumnus" is how it is in the books.

Daniel says yes to "Mr. Tumnus" with a dot, too...thedrtaylor 02:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Family Guy reference

Should there be reference to Peter Griffin's "experience" with Mr. Tumnus from family guy? Seem's silly, but it is a cultural reference. --70.71.186.110 09:53, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe rename this "In popular culture"?? Then I think it would be fine. Capt. Phœbus ^(talk) 18:36, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tumnus, not Mr. Tumnus

Tumnus introduces himself to Lucy by his name, Tumnus; Lucy, being a well-brought-up little English girl, assumes that if an adult introduces himself by one name, that name must be the adult's surname, and accordingly addresses him and refers to him respectfully as Mr. Tumnus. That is Lucy's mistake, however; Tumnus is not his surname, but his only name, and the honorific Mr. Tumnus is in error
