Alice's Adeventures in Wonderland

Book Review by: jurrly    

Original Author: jurrly
Like the traditional hero who ,dissatisfied with his present life, sets off on a journey tou explore unknown regions, Alice
is driven by her curiosity to follow a White Rabbit down a hole and afrer a long fall , she comes to an extraordinary land where the strangest things occur to her. She tries to make sense of what she experiences according to the nontions and rules she has been brought up with .Bur they are no use in Wonderland where everything appears to be the opposite of the world above-ground. She is turned upside down and language itself is spite of the comic elements, Wonderlang is a nightmarish world full of avsurdities and nonsense. Yet harmony andsense are restored in the end. It is just because she has got in touch with and, surreal world,with different mindes of being and thinking, that on her return aboveground Alice will be able to look at life with new eyes.
Though written primarily to amuse children,Alice Adventures in Wonderland stands our as an unsurpassed example of sophisticated an subtle parody of the con-ventions an comtradictions of Victorian society and life in general.
