Alice In Wonderland Hero Quotes

In S.E Hinton’s novel, The Outsiders, the greasers do a lot of good and bad things nevertheless they still are heroes. Johnny Cade, Ponyboy Curtis and Dallas Winston are all heroes.

The second phase of the Hero’s Journey is the initiation which embarks on the road of trials. In Alice in Wonderland, Alice becomes overwhelmed with notion of being a range of different sizes within one day, so she begins to cry. Her crying creates a pool of tears where she meets an array of animals, including a mouse. In this pool of tears, Alice and the array of animals

Homer’s The Odyssey tells the story of young Telemachus with the task of finding his father, Odysseus while also finding himself. As the hero of this journey, Telemachus develops into a noble, brave, and strong man, through complications inflicted by others’ mental endurance. By overcoming these obstacles Telemachus develops into the universally known stereotypical hero. However, the same cannot be said for the heroes of William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying and Lewis Carol’s Alice in Wonderland. At the end of their journeys, Jewel and Alice become different kinds of heroes; instead of becoming a stereotypical plucky adventurer, they each develop different traits to benefit themselves along their journey.

From the moment she sees the White Rabbit taking his watch from his waistcoat pocket, Alice tries to understand the logic of Wonderland. None of the rules that she has been taught seem to apply in Wonderland. The characters in Wonderland have no sense of manners and respond to her questions with answers that make no sense. For example, the Mad Hatter asks the questions, “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” (Alice 51). Alice assumes he is asking a riddle and she begins to try to answer it, thinking the Hatter would not ask a riddle without knowing the answer. When Alice is unable to figure out the riddle, the Hatter explains that there is no answer. He does not explain why he asked the riddle, he simply says, “I haven’t the slightest idea” (Alice 53). In which Alice replies, “I think you might do something better with the time, than waste it in asking riddles that have no answers” (Alice 53). The Hatter then responds with a lecture on Time, which he depicts as a person. Time being depicted as a person makes no logical sense to Alice. In the end, Alice rebels during the trial scene when the King said “Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the court” (Alice 88). Alice objects to the absurd nature of the trial saying, “Who cares for you? You’re nothing but a pack of cards!” (Alice 91). This final scene is the end of her dream, and she wakes up with her head in her sister’s lap.

Alice can be very childish, but throughout the story, she encounters many animals with human qualities that make her change her perspective of the world she lives in. The main obstacle in Alice's life is growing up. As she grows up, she looks at situations in a very distinctive way, such as the moment when alice meets the March Hare, The Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse. By the time the story is over, Alice is already a grown up because of all the experiences she confronted such as, the mad tea party, the encounter with the caterpillar smoking a hookah pipe, also Alice's encounter with the Red Queen during the croquet game and the trial.

Heroes are defined in many ways. For example, some people describe heroes as brave and help people, but a hero is actually someone that risks themselves to help someone else for a good cause. A hero is not someone that supports evil or the bad even if they risk themselves. A hero is someone that risks themselves or something very important to themselves to help another, for a good cause and without being asked. In The Hobbit, Gandalf is a hero because when the group is trapped with the wolves, the text says "He gathered the huge pine-cones from the branches of the tree. Then he set one alight with bright blue fire, and threw it whizzing down among the circle of the wolves." (P.103) Gandalf is a hero because in the quote he risks his safety to save his group from the wolves Gandalf risks his safety by

At the start of her journey, Alice’s blunt and direct form of speech drives the animals away in either offence or wariness. In a state of excitement, Alice inflicts this upon herself while exclaiming, ‘“Dinah’s our cat. Why, she’ll eat a little bird as soon as [she] looks at it!’” (Carol 38). Because of Alice’s little knowledge in social norms, she immediately frightens the party of birds as she talks about her cat. While she is perplexed at the animal’s offence in her words, she is contingent on their guidance in navigating the foreign wonderland. After several failed interactions, Alice develops the inclination of social awareness in her speech as she begins to stop herself when talking with the mock turtle quipping, “‘and perhaps you were never introduced to a lobster-’ (Alice began to say, “I once tasted-” but checked herself hastily)” (Carol 94). Alice’s growth in social awareness stopped her from saying anything offensive, giving her the benefit of stable, though not always helpful, dependency on the animal’s

“The Hero’s Adventure,” an explanation of a literary hero written by Joseph Campbell, discusses the qualifications and experiences of a legitimate hero in literature. The hero must complete a cycle consisting of a departure, initiation, and return. Lindo, one of the mothers in The Joy Luck Club, completes her course through the hero’s journey through acts of courage, psychological transformation, and giving of strength to her daughter, Waverly. As defined by Campbell, a hero is a character who performs a courageous deed and experiences beyond-ordinary events; the hero must complete a journey in which something valuable taken from them is recovered or a life-giving elixir is found. Lindo’s hero cycle spans across her entire life, departing for the journey in her childhood and returning in her

We see that she’s pushed her fear down inside when she goes head to head with the Red Queen and her companions in the arrogant leader’s garden. She lies to the Queen and creates the alias of Um from Umbridge. She says she’s gone to the Queen because she “Towers over everyone in Umbridge.” and they frequently insult her. From this point on through the film, we see Alice use her cunning skill.

Many stories follow a Hero Cycle, a journey that the main characters undertake that shows change or growth within the characters. It starts with the Departure Phase, is followed by the Initiation Phase, and ends with the Return phase. Gilgamesh, translated by David Ferry, and Alice in Wonderland, a film directed by Tim Burton, are two stories that follow the Hero Cycle. Gilgamesh is a story about a selfish young king named Gilgamesh who goes on a quest with his companion Enkidu. Alice in Wonderland is a story about a young girl named Alice, who falls through a rabbit hole to a world called Wonderland, where she learns that she is the subject of a prophecy. While Gilgamesh and Alice both endure a transformation during their quest, the

Alice holds on to Ned and his promised love, even though was full of illusions, as an absolute truth.      

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland creates a warped reality, causing each character’s identity to become confused. An exception to this confusion of identity is the Cheshire Cat, who shows an uncanny awareness of his own madness, giving him considerable control over his presence and allowing him to occasionally leave only a grin behind. Alice, contrarily, is strewn all over as she loses herself in Wonderland. In Wonderland, all are “mad,” but to Alice this is preposterous, even as she fails to explain who she is – both to herself and to others. Carroll’s juxtaposition of the Cheshire Cat and Alice in their first meeting scene exaggerates Alice’s insecure identity and its development throughout her adventures in Wonderland.

“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” This quote clearly shows my feelings about Alice in Wonderland. In chapter two there is a point of which Alice states she is tired of being all alone. I have never been in the situation where I was completely alone because I knew my family was there. This does not stop me from thinking how I can help others acknowledge they are never alone. It also connects with the fact that everyone's yesterdays will not define us. With this Alice can find satisfaction from knowing that she will always be her biggest fan, if she lets herself. Everyday I see individuals who are lost and are focusing on the past and not looking toward the future. It is very important to set goals

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland shows us how a child's innocence can create an imaginative world that would be considered abnormal and insane through the eyes of an adult. Alice dreams of creatures and animals that have the ability to talk, and she constantly shifts in shape and size, perverting the proportions of Wonderland around her. She also has conversations with other characters that the are full of nonsense and odd remarks. Perhaps Alice's irrational personality is best displayed during the scene "A Mad Tea-Party" when Alice encounters a Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse sitting down for teatime. She walks up to the crew nonchalantly and sits down to join them. Immediately, the Hatter begins to make remarks about Alice's appearance and her manners. He is rude and snappy, having a criticism for everything that Alice

Marriage has not always been about love. All throughout history, women were uprooted from their normal lives and forced into loveless relationships as ways to provide their family money or power. This is the starting for Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. Alice is a young woman who is proposed by Hamish, the son of Lord Ascot, per her mother’s request. After running away from the proposal, Alice falls down a rabbit hole into Underland where she meets some peculiar characters. Told that she must kill the Jabberwocky as it has been foretold, Alice runs from her destiny only to realize that she must do something to protect her friends and the place she dreamed of so long ago. After killing the Jabberwocky, Alice returns to her to reject Hamish and start working for his father and travels the world. Alice is using her dream to solve her marriage problem so her subconscious is using characters that represents people or her inner conscious in the real world.
