SETTING:

The scenario is Wonderland, a weird and seemingly insane world accessible only by falling down a rabbit 
hole. Animals behave in the same way that humans do.
Both physical size and time are relative. Part of the story is set in our'real' world, where Alice begins by s
itting close to her sister and ends up. In the mid to late 1800s in 
London, England, the fictional character Alice enjoys a luxurious lifestyle. She is quite 
brilliant, and she is sophisticated and a terrific thinker for a seven-and-a-half-year-old child, just like any 
well-bred girl.

CHARACTERIZATION:

Alice, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts are 
the key characters in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice is the youthful protagonist with a lot of im
agination. The White Rabbit is Alice's companion as she travels through Wonderland.

TONE:

The narrator's tone is lighthearted, and he uses jokes and moves them about in anticipation of going so
mewhere completely insane. The narrator appears to go to any length tomake his audience laugh, includ
ing employing puns and double meanings. The tone is
frequently humorous, but with innocence.

IMAGENARY:
The picture I visualize while reading the story is that Alice is a wonderful,
gorgeous, and beautiful young lady with shoulder length blonde hair and 
sparkling blue eyes, as I imagine her while reading the novel. She typically 
dresses in a childlike blue Victorian gown.

POINT OF VIEW:

The narrator speaks in the third person, albeit he does so in the first and second person on occasion.
The story follows Alice as she travels and expresses her ideas and feelings.

CONFLICT:

Internal- Alice is attempting to figure out who she is on the inside. She was chatting 
to herself as much as she could, despite the fact that she was shrinking and expanding.

External- external- Alice and the Queen of Hearts are envious of each other. 
She intends to murder Alice, and Alice is fleeing.

THEME:

Growing up is the most evident motif throughout Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll admir
ed young children's unprejudiced and innocent view to the world.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland depicts a child's fight to survivein an 
adult-dominated world.

Questions:
What is the message of Alice adventure in wonderland?
What does the rabbit represent?
Why did Alice hesitate to drink the liquid?
