The first novel is set during the London Blitz, when Lewis began writing The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

But heвЂ™s still Zemo, and like the White Witch, he has a very dark use for that candy. When he claims that it was his sonвЂ™s favorite dessert, it adds a touch of both tragedy and revenge to the gesture. That gives it a personal connection: it was a confection of the wealthy in older days, which speaks to his aristocratic heritage.

In and of itself, itвЂ™s not particularly noteworthy as a dessert, though itвЂ™s less common in Western countries than in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, where Zemo comes from. Turkish delight is a gel-based confection, with bits of fruit, walnuts and otherВ ingredients embedded in the mixture. ThatвЂ™s not a mistake, and the trick works for Zemo as well as it did for his spiritual predecessor. The tactic is familiar вЂ“ itвЂ™s the literal definition of вЂњstrangers with candyвЂќ вЂ“ but the specific kind of sweet draws comparisons to a very different villain: NarniaвЂ™s White Witch. The latest episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier features a new villain playing a very old trick: specifically, Baron Zemo bribing children with Turkish delight. WARNING: The following contains spoilers for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 4, 'The Whole World Is Watching,' now streaming on Disney+.
