Wonderland?
People today consider Alice in Wonderland a nice children's story. I was looking forward to a simple story similar to the movie. However, upon reading it, I was surprised by the obscure symbolism and meaning Lewis Carroll incorporates into the text. He tells the story from an innocent child's point of view and uses a confusing and random plotline to create a satire of society. Initially, the story is very puzzling. Some chapters must be read multiple times simply to absorb what happened. This wackiness and disorderly organization, although it may lead to making the reader confused, serves a higher purpose in understanding the story. Written in 1865, during the very beginnings of the "Guilded Age" in America, the book strongly emphasizes corruption and insensibility in society.
Overall, I enjoyed Alice in Wonderland. It helped me gain a new perspective on our society. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality of the book. However, as I continued reading, I became used to the writing style and began to appreciate the themes and messages it contained. Everyone should read Alice in Wonderland. Not only does it contain powerful theme about corruption and chaos in society that everyone can learn from, it can also be read in a very short amount of time. However, it should not be read only once, lest much of the meaning be initially misconstrued as unimportant nonsense. It must be examined thoroughly to obtain the most amount of personal growth.
