The Wonderland Effect: How ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Redefined My Adult World.

Let me tell you about a journey, not just any journey, but one to a place as familiar as childhood memories yet as distant as dreams. ‘Alice in Wonderland’ — a name that evokes images of Cheshire Cats and Mad Hatters, a young girl tumbling down a rabbit hole into a world where the absurd is the norm

and

ordinary

is

nowhere

be

found.

Most of you might remember this tale from your younger years, a strange story read at bedtime, perhaps.

But here’s the thing: when you revisit AiW as an adult, the story unfolds like a map to a hidden treasure, revealing insights and truths about our society and the very fabric of life that we, as grown-ups, grapple with daily.

Lewis Carroll, the genius behind this fantastical world, was no stranger to the complexities of adult society. Underneath the lawyer of a children’s tale lies a maze of satire, a playful yet poignant critique of the world Carroll himself navigated.
