To which the mad hatter interrupts “‘Then you shouldn’t talk,’ said the Hatter. This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear: she got up in disgust, and walked off [...]’” The mood is tense at this point, because it is evident that she is losing her patience. In another occasion, while she was in a tight spot, she thinks “‘It was much pleasanter at home,[...] when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered around by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole-and yet-and yet-it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life!...’”(26)
She sees things that she would never think were possible, for example: she talks to animals, and they talk back; she drank a potion that made her shrink, and she was considered the historical hero of Wonderland. Therefore, she keeps denying that she is the “real Alice” that Wonderland had always waited for. Alice is insecure and feels like she is not capable of accomplishing the tasks and duties she is expected to. Alice meets a man called Mad Hatter and while she has tea with him he teaches her about the Red Queen and her plans of devastating Wonderland. He tells Alice to kill the monster, the Jabberwocky and protect Wonderland from the evil Red Queen.
The title of the book “Still Alice” is ironic because while her body is still Alice, she loses her personality and passions. In essence,
In the wonderland where she stumbles around she is surrounded by talking rabbits, stoned caterpillars and one vicious bandersnatch. Every character in Wonderland is convinced “She is the wrong Alice.” This leaves the audience captivated and has sympathy for
“We can’t buy our way to paradise!” John replied, furious. “You’ve gone too far, Alice. We need to stop this. We need to get rid of that teapot.”
A little girl named Alice that was about the age of 9 comes running down the snowy street, with a worried look on her face. She was looking for her sister, Alma, who ran down the street about 30 minutes ago. Her mom sent her out from the house to go look for her because it was starting to get dark outside. She then came up across a chalkboard with her sisters name on it scribbled across. That made her realize that her sister was recently in the area.
She began digging at midnight. The task was strenuous, but she continued as if her life depended on it: burying the small woven hex bag she’d filled with small bones of a chicken, the claws of a cat and hawthorn berries with the rich soil she’d laboriously dug up with filthy hands. No one would look for it here. Under the veil of the night sky she crept away and waited.
Most younger characters in fiction portray this characteristic for at least a short portion of the book that they are in. Like many children, the children in both of these stories, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Lord of the Flies, display a naïveté that is absent from adults. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland follows one of these characters, Alice, a little girl who, at least at the beginning, showcases this naïveté. In the very beginning Alice’s comment that her sister’s book must be useless as it does not have pictures or conversations shows her narrow view of what is important in life, childishly thinking that simple, easily understood things are the only ones worth anything (Abbas 4). This statement also serves as foreshadowing, letting the reader know that pictures and conversations are an importing part of the book (Abbas 4).
Is Alice naive? Alice is naive, because she boasts about what she learns. Even though the facts are incorrect, she does not like to get ordered around or corrected, and tries to resolve that by ordering others around. She boasts about what she knows to some characters world. She is not good at finding friends or trying get them.
Alice is an extremely complex and deep character because of this. Alice experiences so much pain and has been forced to grown up in a world that has pillaged her of any innocence and prosperity she once possessed and left her with an overwhelming feeling of desolation; Initially this concept is not one that is understood by the audience as Alice comes off as brazen and crude, but it is later discovered by the audience that this is a façade and is her way of coping. This was a very important concept for me to understand when developing my portrayal of Alice I found that developing a strong inner monologue was essential for me to be able to fully immerse myself in the character. Alice’s dialectic manner was a very challenging thing to portray but I feel once I tapped into my own experience of putting a façade when I am not feeling the way I am conveying to others I was able to understand Alice on a how different level to when I had initially approached the
Though the club opened at eight o'clock, we arrive half an hour later. A line of people waiting to enter the club stretches far along the side of the building. The cheer and screams are almost deafening once we exit the taxi. Angelo smiles and waves as they call over to him. I turn my confounded expression towards Alice and ask, “Are we at some rock concert?
In the beginning of the movie, Alice begins noticing that there might be something wrong with her health as she is having difficulty remembering
In this tale, Alice follows a talking White Rabbit, down the well with the help of pool of tears, and into a garden wherever she encounters a Mad Hatter’s party, a game of croquet compete with living things, and an endeavor of the Knave of Hearts. Alice may be a kid getting into a world of adults ranging from the neurotic White Rabbit, to the meddling Duchess and psychopathological Queen of Hearts. These mad, absurd creatures commit to order Alice concerning, but Alice manages to answer them back. Despite the insistence of the Lady that “Everything’s got an ethical, if solely you can realize it” (Carroll, 1993, p.89), Alice finds no ethical here in Wonderland, unless the thought that you just should learn to air your own to fight your own battle in an exceedingly hostile environment. Alice’s engagement within the varied episodes with such characters as the fictional character, the Caterpillar, the milliner and therefore the Queen cause her to question her own identity
But if I’m not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle!”. It is however true that Alice has created these events and these characters in her dream world and they don’t necessarily symbolize her emotional condition. They can simply be figments of her imagination and constitute a natural response to her confusion about adulthood and growing up. The
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland can be described as a work of fantasy and literary nonsense. The story follows seven-year-old Alice, as she falls down a rabbit hole and enters a strange and absurd world
