Oh I love the idea of Eustace as a self-insert! That goes along with him being a dragon and having his scaly hide peeled off by Aslan (hello conversion narrative) too. Especially since old Jack looked back at young Jack with not a small amount of horror.
I feel guilty about admitting it these days now that people dislike the nastiness at the beginning, but Voyage is my favourite Narnia book and always has been. I'm just a giant sucker for journeys.
