Alice is a very prominent character in any depiction of Lewis Carroll’s book. I think one thing that makes this character work is that she is young and very imaginative. If Carroll was to make Alice’s character less curious and less likely to give in to the things she sees, this story would not have lived on the way it has. Because she is so young, there are many things she knows to be true but is not always accurate on the logistics of things. For instance, Alice constitutes getting older to physically growing. When Alice was in the White Rabbit’s house and had drank from the bottle labeled “DRINK ME,” she grew so tall that her limbs were out the windows and up the chimney. She was talking to herself and was saying that there should be a fairy tale written about her and that when she grows up she will write it herself. She states, “And when I grow up, I’ll write one—but I’m grown up now . . . at least there’s no room to grow up any more here” (Carroll 21). This just helps the reader to see just how nieve Alice still is. This helps for her character to bring a feeling of childhood innocence to the story.
