Wait a minute... "Eustace Clarence Scrubb" is a pun???
So I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but the "Chronicles of Narnia" is my favorite book series of all time – and coincidentally, the first one I've ever read on my own as a kid (one that wasn't assigned by the teachers at school, that is).
However, the first time I read it was in my native language; which is not English. So some of C. S. Lewis' humor didn't get translated for me to understand it properly. At least, not until I read the books again in English as an adult.
And only NOW, after all those years... I realize that "Eustace Clarence Scrubb" is apparently pun!? Why did no one ever tell me!!!
I'm not 100% sure if I got it right (seeing as I literally just realized it), but it definitely sounds similar to "Useless Cleaning Scrub". Is that why the first line in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is:
"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
