Among various children's literary works, the famous novel "Narnia" by C. S. Lewis has an interesting storyline caused by good characterization. One of the characters; Edmund Pevensie suggests the issue of self-centeredness in the first book of the series titled "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". His desire for position and authority have led him to be self-centered. This paper aims to analyze Edmund's self-centered characteristics and character types. It utilized a descriptive qualitative method and the New Criticism approach to examine the element of character in the book. The researcher found that three characteristics of Edmund are portrayed as self-centeredness: jealousy, hatred, and arrogance. Moreover, it is also believed that Edmund is considered a round and dynamic type of character which marked by his transformation at the end of the story.
