Alice in Fantasy v.s. Reality
As we go down the rabbit hole, everything that seems practical, grave, or known in the real world does not have value anymore; transforming into wild imaginations and peculiar enchantments. Alice finds throughout her adventures that there is no such thing as her knowledge. In wonderland, if a fish was going on a journey, they must have a porpoise, for a wise fish wouldn't go anywhere without one. In reality, Alice knows that people who go to places and do things have a purpose. Reality differs from the world of fantasy, for the things we have learned to be true in real life is not supported. Through these differences, as far as people and talking animals are concerned, similarities can be compared.
Never in our everyday lives do we expect to see a talking white rabbit in a waistcoat scurry by, always running late to an important event. Alice Lidell, Lewis Caroll's favorite friend and star of the book, follows the path of curiosity that the white rabbit leaves throughout Wonderland. The White Rabbit plays the amusing role to be the leading guide in the book. Though a white rabbit may be rushing late to meet the duchess, and rush to the Queens trial, people in the working world experience rushing to school, work, or other places. This time-zealous character from fantasy happens to represent a person in reality. Lewis Caroll wrote the rabbit based on Alice Lidell's father, Dean Lidell, a pastor and math teacher in a Christ Church Cathedral in England. He was notoriously known for being late to services and sermons.
Alice also meets other nonsensical characters like the Queen of Hearts, who in her independence and strong authority executes people showing absolute rule, the caterpillar, who gives Alice advice, and the Cheshire cat; the only cat that can grin. The Queen of Hearts symbolizes a royal figure in the world of wonderland. Her actions as a Queen tells the reader right off the cuff that she is the one in full authority. The Queen's intellect is also shown when she detects that the cards were painting the white rose bush red. The Queen of England, Victoria, reflects the status of this demanding, and outstanding character. Victoria was deeply attached to her husband and she sank into depression after he died, aged 42, in 1861. She had lost a devoted husband and her principal trusted adviser in affairs of state. For the rest of her reign she wore black. she was widely criticized for living in seclusion and quite a strong republican movement developed.
Seven attempts were made on Victoria's life, between 1840 and 1882 - her courageous attitude towards these attacks greatly strengthened her popularity. It isn't true that the Queen of England yells "Off with their heads!", yet her independence is greatly influenced by many. The Queen of Hearts on the other hand is one authority figure to whom one would not dare bring a white rose bush instead of red.
The comparison of the wonderland characters, to the people in reality shows the great significance of how both worlds are not totally opposite, but unique.
