“Alice: This is impossible. Mad Hatter: Only if you believe it is.” – Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
The Reverend Charles Dodgson Lutwidge, better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll was known not only as an English writer, but also as a mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and even the photographer. Thus still shy and pedantic man at the mean time. Yet his primary path – was to be a writer. His work: “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” has been translated into dozens of languages worldwide and had received tremendous acclaim. Even now, his work is still relevant. In 2010 Tim Burton produced a film based on Carroll’s book – an adventure story, scripted by Linda Woolverton with Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Stephen Fry.
Through the words of wisdom, in the picture, the character of Alice leaves an indelible impression on ones mind, shaping character, instilling values like power of imagination, trying & risk-taking, finding sense against chaos, self-managing and comprehension that nothing is impossible. Alice tries to interpret everything around her in a logical manner, and you’d often note that there is always a conflict between her desire to be mature, rational & grow up and her natural ingenuous whims; a skirmish that most of us adults face almost daily in our lives.
Now that you’ve looked closer, don’t you agree with some of the deeper messages, “Alice” delivers to us – the adults too? Specially in the chaos of the modern-always-busy-money world?
