Misconceptions of the hidden Meanings in Alice in wonderland
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was born in 1832 in Daresbury, Cheshire. His early life was spent in the northern
parts of the country while his adult life in Oxford. He dies in Guildford in 1898. He is the notorious author Lewis
Carroll. Other than the famous books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, he wrote also
poems, pamphlets, articles. As a skilled mathematician, logician, inventor (mainly puzzle and other games of the
type) and photographer, he can easily be considered one of the greatest minds of his time.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a story, written by the author, which explains the pain and sufferings of the
soul of a sincere child, facing its transformation into an adult. It is explained by her escape to an unnatural and
odd world of her own, to a place where the cards of the deck can talk and move, where rabbits are in a hurry and a
certain queen always gives the order to cut someone's head off. It is, however, a very strange trip also for the
readers. If they are not careful enough, they might miss out on the meanings beneath the veil and end-up with the
impression that the book is an absolute blabbering, the inhuman sufferings of the mind of a person
who is totally insane.
Misconceptions
Some of the misconceptions of these hidden meanings are that the story was actually written about Alice with whom
the author used to have an intimate relationship. Considering the fact that the real Alice was still a child, this
is quite an accusation. Of course, as every rumour, this is also based on the truth Alice was the person the story
was written about, but was she an object of sinful attraction? Other false statements tell us about the drug
abuse, pill abuse and even mushroom abuse of the author, how he was being treated for acute
migraines with medication that provoked visions and illusions, hallucinations in the mind of the writer. Actually,
there is a lot more behind the surface of the items, substories and statements in the Alice works. Of course, they
cannot be seen by the ones who do not seek for them. This is the main problem for the masses, because they do not
have the means to understand what is there and thus, it is seemingly possible only for researchers and
scientists to understand the references to logics, mathematics, philosophy, psychology,
human studies etc.
For the readers there are two possibilities to stop searching and accept that this is a senseless, meaningless book
written by a human not in their right mind, about a girl for whom he should have not had feelings or to accept the
fact that there is more inside the pages, between the lines, and search for it, even if it is too deep for them to
penetrate. To try and do it, to try with more means and efforts.
