Alice in Wonderland | Explained (2025)
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll and first published in 1865, follows the inquisitive and imaginative Alice as she chases a waistcoat-wearing White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and into a whimsical world teeming with peculiar characters and perplexing encounters.
From her rapid size changes after consuming mysterious potions and cakes, to her absurd conversations with creatures like the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter, Alice’s journey challenges the boundaries of reason, highlighting themes of identity, power, and the fluid nature of reality.
The nonsensical landscape reflects the era’s fascination with logic, language, and childhood exploration, providing a rich tapestry of satire that continues to captivate readers of all ages.

    The most horrifying part of this show is how many of these things are actually happening right now. In afghanistan, women are banned from parks, from speaking in public, banned from education, driving, and must be covered head to toe. Like we get mocked or called crazy for being afraid of this stuff but its like.....some of it's actually happening, and no one sees it as a problem. Women have always been the last group of people to have their human rights recognized.

    Luckily in the movie she is brought to a trailer in some remote place and waits to have her baby. Not only is this type of society in general scary but the idea that they split apart families and turned everyone into slaves then one of there ideas of public punishment was getting a bunch of handmades together to rip a guy apart turning them into animals.

    In the book, the Scramble game has a deeper meaning, women aren't supposed to be able to read or right. If they already knew how, they should forget. Playing Scrabble with her keeps her ability to write intact.
