Edmund from the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

  I'm currently reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and I've noticed that one of the three children doesn't really get along with the other three as well. Edmund has his own idea of what is right and fooled by the White Witch he only cares about Turkish delight and wants to be king so that he can make  his brother and sisters do what he wants. 
    Edmund is really rotten. He is mean and a big bully especially to Lucy the littlest of them all. He also goes to Narnia but makes believe he didn't so that he can be king and so that the queen will give him more sweets. He is self fish and doesn't care for anything other than himself. I wouldn't really like to be related to him because he isn't a good brother and he doesn't care or appreciate the love his siblings give him and he doesn't appreciate that they were able to get away from the war and are now safe.
    The others are very different from Edmund they are nice and caring. Lucy is very truthful and when Edmund said she was lying about seeing him in Narnia it really hurt her because she knew she wasn't lying! The oldest ones are also very non selfish they care about each other and want to protect each  other. They protect Lucy from Edmund's bullying and being mean to her. I wonder of Edmund is like ghat because he jealous of Lucy being the youngest which means he doesn't get as much attention as he did before and that's what he is lacking. Or is it just that he just enjoys being mean.
     At the end I think he will learn a lesson. Something will happen to him to make him realize that he was being mean and self fish and that you shouldn't believe in someone just because they give you what you want. I guess I will have to keep reading in order to find out.
