Is Jewel really an important symbol in the Last Battle? Because if you have noticed, most covers of the Last Battle has a unicorn in it, which I presume is Jewel. I just would like to find out.

Well, Jewel is the only mythical-type creature to play a leading role on the side of good in the story; thus he might be said to personify NARNIA ITSELF. Also, unicorns are symbolic of purity and virginity; thus King Tirian, who never got to marry and have children, is appropriate company for Jewel.
I have thought many times about those Christians who will be in adolescence when Jesus returns. Unless procreation of children is retained in the Millenium, those end-time saints will also miss out on being parents.

Jewel is different. He's a magnificent unicorn. It's not a wonder that he's on most covers...he's an amazing character and a lovely one that would be interesting to potential readers. He's one of the last actual Narnians who is loyal to the king through and through. He's a symbol of what many of us would hope to be like in the end times I think. Faithful, steadfast...Jewel is a wonderful character.
Good point, you know. CF. I had noticed that Jewel kindly talked to Puzzle about hoof maintenance and things they could both understand, while Jewel was this ethereal beauty and valiant warrior, and Puzzle was just a plodding donkey who had been duped by a monkey. That really shows what a noble being Jewel was.
