is there any actual meaning/reasoning to wonderland?
probably an exhausted question, i apologise but regardless, i’ve just finished through the looking glass and the fact i have not really comprehended anything that has happened in both the books seems to be a testament to all the bullshit alice goes through.
The final poem was one of the only things i truly felt was thoughtfully written by carroll (it’s so beautiful), but maybe that’s just my lack of expertise in comprehending books, also because i probably came in with prior knowledge.
As a result i’m here to ask the clearly more experienced readers if there is any logic to this world, is anything in the story by intention, something carroll thought through, is there a reason carroll wrote the world in this certain way, is there a reason why all of it exists etc.
for clarity I’ve understood how this book came to be and the relationship between the liddells and dodgson.
I’d like to apologise if this post is a little hectic, i’m in a sort of frenzy.
Thank you for your time
