Alice's Adventures in Wonderland pt 2

I realized that in my first blog I was calling the book "Alice in Wonderland" When the actual title is "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". Actually the first proposed title for the book was "Alice's Adventures Underground" because the book was supposed to have a darker nature. In Wonderland Alice has a lot of trouble with the inhabitants because she believes everything there will make sense in some way or another and when it doesn't she gets very confused and frustrated and she doesn't know what to do. Like the Mad Hatter, he asks a riddle "Why is a raven like a writing desk?", when Alice asks for the answer he hasn't got one for her. She is very frustrated because she believes there MUST be an answer or he wouldn't have asked. The teatime with the Mad Hatter and the March Hare also seems to make little to no sense. Time is described as a person and is given characteristics while they question her every thought. This is shown when they ask her to take more tea. "I haven't had any yet so I can't take MORE" exclaims Alice. "Its very easy to take more than nothing" The Hatter argues. At every turn they question and frustrate her to no end. Nothing they do seems to make any sense. It is said that Carroll is comparing the Hatter's and Hare's teatime to teatime in real life. He believed teatime was an annoying affair with everyone talking but nothing being talked about. The teatime is a "grown-up" situation that Alice thinks she can handle, but it turns out that not everything in life makes sense or has a point. The Caucus Race is another example. All the animals do this race in order to dry off. All they do is run around in circles with no object, no goal, and no winner. Alice doesn't understand the point and is then forced to reward all the runners. Critics say that Carroll is comparing the animals to politicians. They run around in circles, wasting their energy and time and never seem to get anything accomplished. Carroll was an excellent writer as well as a storyteller for children so he was easily able to combine the two to make Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
