Alice in Wonderland
In the novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, there is an evident contrast between two different types of characters through out the book. While Alice was trapped in this Wonderland she came across many different characters and it became apparent that they were characters of two different natures, on the one hand there were the docile characters and on the other hand she came across the more insane and angry characters. I believe that this may reflect Lewis' views on people in reality. The main character of the novel, Alice, serves as your guide through out the story and as your source of adventure. Alice her self, being from the "real world", is a very knowledgeable and sound being that, while in Wonderland, is not afraid to use and show off her knowledge. While on her "adventure" Alice meets many instances where she is able to use her reason to help her through out making her one of the more docile characters. The first character that Alice comes across before even entering Wonderland is the White Rabbit, which soon shows to be one of the more madd characters. Through out the entire novel from the very first time the Rabbit enters the story he is always in a hurry. No matter what the situation ma
So as you can see there is a variety of different character throughout the story but there is really only two different types the insane and the not. The characters in the story although they seem to be unusual are not so different from the people we see in day to day life. In life you come across lots of different people but are they really so different? You have your rational thinkers and your down to earth people whom take life for what it is and live it from day to day which I feel are represented by the docile characters. Then you have your people that are either trapped in a certain time of life that they don't want to let go (the Mad hatter and marsh hare) or your people whom are so caught up in their work that they don't have time for themselves (the Rabbit) or your people that are mad at the world and take it out on every one else (the King and Queen). I feel that theses type of people never really enjoy life and just let it pass them by and when all is said and done they never really lived. That is my analysis of the books characters hope you enjoyed it.
