Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland repeatedly presents Alice growing and shrinking as she experiences Wonderland. At first, these changes appear to be part of the strange logic of the world around her, especially as Alice eats and drinks things that alter her size. However, they become more meaningful as Alice is first unable to enter the garden, later gets trapped inside the White Rabbit’s house, and is then forced to question who she is in her conversation with the Caterpillar. By the time Alice begins growing again during the trial, the meaning of these transformations begins to change. Through its depiction of Alice’s physical transformations, the text suggests that identity becomes unstable when it is shaped by outside expectations and instruction; by connecting Alice’s growth and shrinking to what she eats and drinks, the text links these changes to education and the pressure to adapt.
Introduction Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a cornerstone of fantastic literature, blending whimsy with deeper explorations of identity, growth, and societal ...
