My understanding of the logician and mathematician Lewis Carroll tale has been renewed and I then saw a satirical representation of what happens to a young child when confronted with adults: there is a gulf between his world and theirs, whose atmosphere can sometimes be tinged with coldness, rigidity and aggression, against a background of what appears to the child as the strangeness and nonsense. For example, large do not deign to answer questions from the small, or respond to side, or sometimes angry abruptly for reasons that seem absurd to him; these are common reactions among the characters met by Alice. Moreover, when it shrinks or grows, you can see the feelings of a child uncomfortable in this world that he hardly understands; then it often happen to feel too small, or too big, anyway rarely in place or the "right" size. Alice's dream appears as a high color metaphor of the real world, duller. We see, from the beginning to the end of the dream, assertive gradually and eventually find its actual size.
If we search in Alice in Wonderland that is found in folk tales such as those of the Brothers Grimm, you may be disappointed as the work of Lewis Carroll is not located in the same register. The incomparable by this author logician qualities appear particularly in the subtle language games including teems chapter "An extravagant tea", which involved the Hatter and the March Hare, yet these two characters being designated as crazy as that one the other. An example from an exchange of replies between Alice and her two interlocutors: "I say what I think", that does not mean the same thing as "I think what I say!"
The different dimensions of the original text of Alice in Wonderland are hard to pass as part of a theater or film adaptation, which is why nothing replaces reading this book.
The beautiful illustrations of John Tenniel make a beautiful object and add to the pleasure of reading.
