| Summary |
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll is a classic children's novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows a young girl named Alice as she embarks on a whimsical adventure after falling down a rabbit hole, encountering a variety of curious creatures and peculiar situations along the way. The narrative explores themes of curiosity, identity, and the nonsensical nature of life. The opening of the book introduces us to Alice, who is bored while sitting by her sister. Her curiosity is piqued by a talking White Rabbit, which leads her to chase after it and fall down a rabbit hole. As she descends, she absorbs her surroundings, tries to make sense of her sudden changes in size, and engages in whimsical thoughts about geography and the creatures she might meet. Alice’s adventures begin with her curiosity—and the nonsensical experiences following her fall into Wonderland set the tone for her encounters with fantastical characters and the absurdity that defines her journey.
