Falling Action

Eustace has done nothing but complain, and he is a pain to deal with. When they reach the next island, Eustace sees a dying dragon and tries to part of its treasure. Then he is turned into a dragon. Aslan is the only one who can turn Eustace back.

When Eustace is a dragon, he realizes how horrible he is, and when he helps the sailors. “it was clear to everyone that Eustace’s character had changed.” When the Dawn Treader was being attached by the sea monster, Eustace “now did the first brave thing he had ever done." As soon as the serpent’s body was near enough he began hacking at it with all his might.” When Eustace was on the island as a dragon he “was very anxious to help. He flew over the whole island and found that it was inhabited by only goats and droves of old swine. Of these he brought back many provisions.”
