This research aims to investigate the patterns adopted to portrait the central character of C. S. Lewis´ The Chronicles of Narnia the lion Aslan in it s translation to Brazilian Portuguese. The dissertation aims also to estabilish if the parallel suggested by the author of The Chronicles between Aslan and the Christian God is captured into Brazilian Portuguese. We are grounded in the documental letter written by Lewis, in which he describes the relation between his work and the biblical text, chiefly it s leading role, Aslan. As theorethical framework, we discuss some of the fields of Translation Studies that have been useful to the corpus analisys the concept of style, distancing from the original and adaptation (BAKER, 1993, SHUTTLEWORTH,1999, TOURY, 1980). As metalanguage which helps us to explain the changes in the original text and the translated text, we use the Sistemic Functional Grammar, namely the experiential function described by the Processes (in special the Verbal Processes), and the interpersonal function represented by Appraisal Theory. In order to do the analisys, a parallel corpus was compiled, containing the seven books of the series in English and Portuguese, and also a comparable corpus, used to confirm the achieved results. These results point to a radical distancing of the translated text in relation to the original text with respect to the construction of Aslan s character, namely: changes in semantic prosody, changes in Force, omissions or aditions that alter the meaning and changes in the agency of Verbal Processes. We suggest that these contrasts between the allegories woven by Lewis in the original text and what we found in the translated text may modify the perception one may have of Aslan as a Christian symbol, when rewritten into Portuguese
