Lewis Carroll’s book, ‘Alice in Wonderland’, contains a great deal of motifs, symbols, and themes, but no led gu10 bulbs!
The Caterpillar’s mushroom enjoys many symbolic meanings which come into play during different situations or in conjunction with different objects. Some interpret the Caterpillar as a sexual threat to Alice as its phallic shape symbolises sexual virility. Others understand the Caterpillar’s mushroom to be a psychedelic hallucinogen which causes Alice’s distorted and surreal perception of the Wonderland which surrounds her.
Alice uses the words ‘curious’, ‘nonsense’, and ‘confusing’, often throughout her time in Wonderland. Though usually these words are used interchangeably, Alice assigns ‘curious’ and ‘confusing’ to certain situations, and ‘nonsense’ to others. ‘Curious’ and ‘confusing’ Alice assigns to those experiences which she tolerates and wishes to understand further whilst she assigns ‘nonsense’ to those experiences which she criticizes or rejects.
