Lewis Carroll's Wonderland is a queer little universe where a not so ordinary girl
             is faced with the contradicting nature of the fantastic creatures who live there. Alice's
             Adventures in Wonderland is a child's struggle to survive in the condescending world of
             adults. The conflict between child and adult gives direction to Alice's adventures and
             controls all the outstanding features of the work- Alice's character, her relationship with
             other characters, and the dialogue. " Alice in Wonderland is on one hand so nonsensical

             children, used to girl angels fated for death (in Dickens, Stowe, and others), or to
             impossibly virtuous little ladies, or to naughty girls who eventually reform in response to
             heavy adult pressure... But Alice is neither naughty nor overly nice. Her curiosity leads
             her into her initial adventure and most of the latter ones in the book... (Leach 119)." As
             Alice makes her way through Wonderland , she is faced with many pompous personalities
             that have their own ways of thinking and do not understand why Alice does not agree with
             their views. Alice takes into consideration what each character says. After becoming
             quite confused and disgruntled she learns that everyone in Wonderland is in fact mad.
             Once she has learned this she politely rejects all offers made by characters and tells them
             how things are in her mind. More often than not, she is chastised for her opinions, but
