I’m still not sure whether I actually liked this book or not. On the one hand, the wordplay and clever language are fun. Lewis Carroll clearly had a brilliant mind. But on the other hand, the story is so random and bizarre that I often felt a bit lost.

It’s whimsical, imaginative, and definitely unique, but the lack of structure and the constant weirdness made it hard for me to really connect with it. I can see why it’s a classic, but it left me more empty than enchanted.

«She ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself “Which way? Which way?”, holding her hand on the top of her head to feel which way it was growing; and she was quite surprised to find that she remained the same size. To be sure, this is what generally happens when one eats cake; »

«She stretched herself up on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge of the mushroom, and her eyes immediately met those of a large blue caterpillar, that was sitting on the top, with its arms folded,
quietly smoking a long hookah, and taking not the smallest notice of her or of anything else.»

« As she said this, she looked up, and there was the Cat again, sitting on a branch of a tree.
“Did you say ‘pig’, or ‘fig’?” said the Cat.
“I said ‘pig’,” replied Alice; “and I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy.”
“All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone. »

«“You’re a very poor speaker,” said the King.
Here one of the guinea-pigs cheered, and was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court. (As that is rather a hard word, I will just explain to you how it was done. They had a large canvas bag, which tied up at the mouth with strings: into this they slipped the guinea-pig, head first, and then sat upon it.)»

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

لوئیس کارول علاقه خاصی به معنا داشت، اونقدر که داستان‌هایی بی‌معنا برای بچه‌ها نوشت پر از نشانه‌ها و سمبل‌های بزرگسالانه. آلیس در سرزمین عجایب نگاه یه کودک به زندگی بی معنای بزرگسال‌هاست. تقریبا همه شخصیت‌ها به جز الیس بزرگسالن و چنان غرق در کارهای عجیبشونن که وقت ندارن بپرسن اصلا چه معنایی پشت این چیزهاست. سوالی که الیس دائم از خودش میپرسه و جوابی پیدا نمیکنه.
