Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: Worthy of a Pulitzer PrizeLewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is an enticing tale of a young girl’s joeurny through a seemingly deranged world. The main character of the novel, Alice, finds herself in a disorderly place in which she comes across many irrational and peculiar inhabitants. Through the story Alice’s curiosity and clumsiness gets her into many troubling situations, however she perseveres with bravery and finesse. This story demonstrates all the characteristics of an effective novel through the combination of brevity, clarity, picturesqueness, and accuracy. The brevity of the novel is evident in the way Carroll describes uncommon circumstances, the character’s brief reactions, as well as the lack of evidence to explain irregular actions. Although Carroll’s novel is one of complicated events, he clearly incorporates all the details needed in an organized fashion that makes the storyline understood, this tailored design of writing clearly displays the themes of the novel without confusion, and makes it clear that the novel is intended for young readers. The descriptions of scenery, the diction and satire, as well as the original illustrations, provide insight and picturesqueness without excessive detail. The portrayal of a young girl, as well as the components of a children’s fantasy novel are accurately accomplished. It is because the novel has successfully met all of this criterion, expected by Joseph Pulitzer, that Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland is unquestionably an effective literary work.Carroll has a blunt way of describing situations that the reader would expect to have a very detailed description of. The reasoning behind this is to allow some characteristics to be left to the reader’s imagination. For instance, when the main character suddenly finds herself face to face with a large caterpillar, Carroll provides no more detail then necessary. His short description of the creature does not include excessive physical description. “ . . . 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 not taking the smallest notice of her or of anything else” (Carroll 39).The author did not elaborate and include all of the human senses to provide a full picture. This use of vague writing is also found in the mysterious disappearing act of the famous Cheshire Cat, this bizarre event only includes the brief details needed by the reader to understand what is happening. “ . . . 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” (Carroll 59). This short explanation reveals the concession of the vanishing cat and excludes the unnecessary details to complete the reader’s visualization. Perhaps the most significant evidence of Lewis Carroll’s brief writing style is found when Alice comes across the Queen and King of hearts. During this passage it is extremely evident that Carroll’s focus was exclusively on the actions and thoughts of the characters rather then the physical descriptions. “Then followed the Knave of Hearts, carrying the King’s crown on a crimson velvet cushion; and, last of all this grand procession, came THE KING AND QUEEN OF HEARTS [sic]” (Carroll 73).Through several chapters that have the Queen and King as central characters in the plot there is not any part where the narrator stops to explain their physical appearance. The reasoning behind this is linked to the audience the novel was intended for.The brisk reactions of the main character to events she would not normally be accustomed to, reveals the brevity of the novel. The novel is set in the Victorian era (1837-1901), which was a very conservative time period, compared to society today (Nuta 1). It is surprising how well Alice is able to remain calm as well as maintain an open minded attitude. This is particularly evident in the calm way Alice dealt with her introduction to an oversized caterpillar. “The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid and sleepy voice” (Carroll 41). Instead of the horror and panic that would be expected of a child from her time period Alice’s reaction was tame and short. Another fitting example of her brisk reactions to normally horrific events is seen when she is taking the initial trip down the rabbit hole. “First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything, then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves: here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs” (Carroll 8). When falling down a hole it is reasonable to feel scared and, as the passage suggests, Alice did not feel this way at all as she joeurnyed into the unknoZerin - 13.11.2015
