Summary of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

About this book

Lewis Carroll's tale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a carnival mirror reflection of Victorian society with its rigid social conventions. While today's social norms are undoubtedly different from those of Carroll's time, the story's underlying challenge still resonates: a child must navigate an unfamiliar world full of arbitrary and ridiculous adult rules, where fear is often the driving force for many participants' decisions. The answers to riddles are questionable or non-existent. Rote learning offers no guides, tales lack morals. Alice's good sense and her feeling for justice are indispensable to her success. Through her fantastical adventures, Alice challenges the idea that children should adapt to the adult world with its questionable principles and morality. She finds herself in an imperfect world that can be terrifying, yet her naive but sound judgment helps her survive and unveil the egotism, angst and violence surrounding her. Carroll's satire of the era, hidden behind fabled creatures absorbed in absurd activities, was so poignant that Queen Victoria herself became Alice's most eminent fan.
