I thin that the prom was interesting. I feel this way because of how the Alice in Wonderland theme was excuted.

Lewis Carroll’s work, mostly fictional, is a direct reflection of recurrent images through dreams. According to Carl Jung, developer of the archetypal concept in literature, “A typical infantile motif is the dream of growing infinitely small or infinitely big, or being transformed from one to the other—as you find it, for instance, in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland” (Snider Web). Since, Life is But a Dream is the closing poem to Alice in Wonderland’s sequel Through the Looking-Glass, Jung’s interpretation above commentating on Carroll’s work still follows. The dream motif is prominent throughout the poem as depicted with assistance by Carroll’s verbal pattern in lines 17 and 18. “Dreaming as the days go by/Dreaming as the summers die…”

Alice’s life and identity up to this point has revolved around words, their value, and their impact. The riddle, however, is nonsense and has no value or impact at all.

Quote: “Alice sighed wearily. ‘I think you might do something better with the time,’ …

She does not know how to talk to the Duchess as seen in the primary quotation. This is evidence that Alice is not able to connect with the adults around her because she is still a child. One can argue that the character of the Duchess was created to reflect the reality that Alice faces both in her world and in Wonderland.
