[Essay]: Lewis Carroll "Alice's adventures in Wonderland"

r3benok

 Hi friends!

I really like now disney cartoon "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, and as a child he was one of the most favorite. However, for some period he seemed to me the ravings of a madman. Now, on the contrary, I believe that this is one of the most unusual and symbolic fairy tales. And as always it happens to me, after reading I realized that the book is much better than the cartoon, much more interesting, and it has those moments that are not shown on the screen. Now I want to share my impressions of the first part of "Alice", namely, her adventures in Wonderland. What surprised me the most was that those chapters, the moments of which I always liked the most in the cartoon, in fact, are fraught with a special meaning, which has been disturbing me for several years.

Blue caterpillar gives advice

Alice meets a huge blue caterpillar sitting on a mushroom and calmly Smoking a hookah in the forest. Caterpillar became interested in Alice who she is. Alice are unable to give an answer, and as she didn't know who she is now, because in the morning she was one and now another. The caterpillar tells Alice that she can't be several people at the same time. In this conversation slips question about personality, its immutability, that is expressed in sustainability memory. The person is aware of himself as such, remembers his past, is able to revive his memories and personal experience. That is to say, the essence of man is one and the same.

Pig and pepper (meeting with the Cheshire cat).

Perhaps the most popular moment in The history of Alice's adventures, and the most popular quote.

— Tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? - Where do you want to go?  the cat answered. 'I don't care,' said Alice. — Then it doesn't matter which way you go, said the cat. '- so long as I get somewhere, ' Alice added as an explanation. "You're sure to get somewhere," said the cat. - You just have to walk long enough.

Sometimes we cannot give ourselves an answer as to where to go, but once we have made an unquestionable decision, it can show us the best way to achieve our goal.

Crazy tea party

Alice meets the Hatter and The March Hare, who continually drink tea. To be honest, the meaning of this crazy Chapter is still not clear to me to the end, except for the opinion that each of us is mad in his own way and lives with his own problems, but that's what makes him who he really is.

------------------------

In General, this part seemed to me more interesting and mysterious than the second. It was thanks to her that I realized how much I love fairy tales. They are so full of light and magic... they help to believe in the most impossible and make it a reality. Let us be pleased, taught and inspired by fairy tales from books. Read with pleasure and the world will be better!
