Alice's Adventures in

Wonderland Summary/ Theme


Timeline

Alice finally finds a small


door that the key opens,
and drinks a potion to shrink
herself so she can fit
through the door.

A theme here could be


childhood innocense
because Alice trusts the
potion.

A possible theme so far


could be boredom.

A theme here could be life


being a meaningless puzzle.

Alice cannot go through the


little door however, because
she has forgotton the key
on top of the table and is
too small to reach it.

Alice sees a white rabbit run


by saying "I'm late" before
disappearing down a rabbit
hole.

Alice finally lands in a


hallway with many doors,
but a key she finds doesn't
work for any of them.

Alice begins to cry until she


finds a cake, and eats a
piece to make her big again.

A possible theme now could


be the abstract imagination
of children.

Alice follows after him, and


falls miles and miles down
his rabbit hole.

Alice anxiously waits for the


cake to make her grow but
nothing happens, so, Alice
conitnues to eat more cake.

Alice begins to get restless


while she is with her sister
who is reading a boring,
picture-less book.

"'and what is the use of a


book' thought Alice
'without pictures or
conversation?'"

She's bored again! Even


while falling a frightful fall,
Alice is bored. She is truly
adventurous and needs
contasnt stimulation.

"Oh how I wish I could shut


up like a telescope!"

Alice is a very imaginative


child, and she expresses
this here as her boredom
springs from a lack of
creativity.

"Down, down, down. There


was nothing else to do, so
alice began talking again."

Alice's imagination is vivid


here, and it shows how
different it is from most
people's, making her a good
fit for Wonderland.

"nor did Alice think it so


very much out of the way
to hear the Rabbit say to
itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dearI I
shall be late!'"

Aice's imagination comes to


light again here, as she
finds it more intriguing than
odd that a Rabbit it talking.

"and if it makes me grow


smaller, I can creep under
the door; so either way I'll
get into the garden, and I
don't care which happens!"

Alice's childlike innocense is


displayed here because she
does not worry about a
deadly fall, but again, finds
it intriguing.

"'I wonder how many mils


I've fallen by this time?' she
said aloud 'I must be
getting somewhere near
the centre of the Earth.'"

Alice is impatient with


solidarity, and when she
sees what she wants, she
will do whatever it takes to
get it. Childish, but brave.
