Lewis leaves the question of why Jupiter, the planet known as “great Meldilorn” is so important. The allusion to Meldilorn, the home of Oyarsa on Malacandra, suggests that Jupiter has some significance to the eldila and again emphasizes humanity’s small place in a grand universe. Lewis also suggests that Ransom continues to learn more about this spirituality—and that readers too can deepen their understanding through more study and reflection on the old philosophers and the ideas of Christianity.
