I suppose you should choose the three sisters (Orual, Psyche and Redival) as those on who to show how the different kinds of love work. Let's take Orual: She has a strong affection to Psyche, she can't bear that Psyche should love somebody more than her. Lewis shows that love (in this case affection) turns into a sort of hate, if it isn't helped and corrected by some kind of love to God. Perhaps the same happens to her friendship with the Fox. A third kind of love that works on Orual is God's love, which in the end alters her. (Remember the scene, when it's said that Orual hasn't to expect justice and later is giveb mercy instead of justice.) - Psyche, I think, is a saint. The love that works on her (and to which she responds) is the supernatural love to God.- Redival (like Orual) doesn't know about supernatural love; she just knows Eros. Unlike Orual she doesn't realize that she needs more than just a natural love. - I hope this may help you. I don't have any pages in mind because it's now some years that I've read Till We Have Faces. However, I think it's really Lewis's best book.- All the best!
