Analysis of Style and Structure

Lewis Carroll is an author that likes to depict her work in images, symbols, and through using a fair amount of literary devices. Lewis Carroll uses the theme for the reader’s excitement and brain and to not make it boring, she uses a lot of mysterious theme into the character “Alice”. This book starts joyful when Alice walks into her house, and then she ends up on the other side of the looking glass, where she is in the reflection of the mirror world to the real world. It gets all scary when a dragon starts coming and attacking Alice and the dragon just disappears. It turns into a mysterious mood when Alice meets up with Tiger-Lily “the talking Sunflower”, she starts to help her out but then she meets up with the Red Queen, the leader of the world. The story turns into a positive mood because the Queen tells her how to get out of this world, in order to get through the mirror of the real world, she has to be queen also. She’s really bossy and demanding at first, then she is kind and full of excitement and helps Alice. In this book, there’s a lot of imagery because Lewis Carroll tries to give the reader a general sense of what all characters look like and how they contrast from each other. Meeting people in this book is Lewis Carroll implements for helping Alice escaping the other side of the mirror. For example, she meets Tiger-lily and the Red Queen and they both help her and guide her on her journey on how to escape the mirror world. These are symbols that represent the sort of solution that Alice needed in the situation because she in a problem, when she was lost and she didn’t know where she was, the queen helped her. This book is literally weird and very exciting to read but some random parts got their ups and down.
