ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Oneiric story of the adventures of a maturing Alice. The dream-like world is the product of a child’s imagination and susceptible of interpretation along the lines of psychological insights on the world of dreams.
Complex Dream
Alice’s priorities appear inverted. The inversion of priorities isn’t realistic, and the bookshelves on the sides of the hole represent Alice’s wish to escape reality.
HALLUCINATIONS
Alice finds herself in different situations involving various unusual animals that seem to work just as hallucinations do
Many ideas are symbolically compacted as images and words .
Linguistic condensation is present in the creation of the names for these animals . The creatures are made from words from English, French Latin
DAILY RESIDUE
The wonderful garden into which Alice wants to gain access can be a symbol of the Garden of Eden
Her subconscious included this detail in her dream to convey her wish to be accepted and to get rid of the worry caused by the daily residue
In her dream?Alice was dimming. Carroll never directly stated that she was dreaming or she ever went to sleep, but he did provide a detailed description of her.
Sigmund Freud. His works included theories on the unconscious and dreams.
For Freud in the human Mind there are the UNCONSCIOUS MIND (contains all the thoughts, feelings, urges, and memories) not included in the CONSCIOUS MIND
FREUDIAN SLIPS is formed by accidents and errors that are the expression of our subconscious. These ‘slips’ are the key to our subconscious and its contents.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is rich of slips because Carol write this story for Alice Liddell and uses many of characters as symbols for real people in her life
NONSENSEVital solution to the deep contradiction
between an acceptance of madness
and the exercise of reason
Carroll’s insight into the way human beings are compelled to adapt to broader cultural demands.He veers down another idiosyncratic track: how words assume – then seem almost to contain – a life of their own. Carroll himself dubs a few of them ‘portmanteau’ words, capturing the idea that meaning is almost literally encased in them.
The rules and rituals governing her world seem
both whimsical and arbitrarily enforced. They
serve as a check on contingency and freedom in Wonderland, while casting
the adult world beyond it as authoritarian and almost
willfully perverse
The Alice stories reveal both the generative possibilities
and the unwelcome distortions of the symbolic
order. In refusing to imitate or rationalize the comic
pretensions of a system only loosely bound by rules and
signifiers
