The Queen of Hearts is described to be a controlling, dominant and a violent persona. In Lewis Carroll’s novel, ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ the Queen of Hearts’ use of tone in, “Off with her head” expresses how her mood changes immediately into a vicious character. This is illustrated when the queen insisted the people in her kingdom to cut Alice’s head off because Alice had the courage to stand up to her making the queen feel vulnerable and powerless. Whilst in the film, the use of extreme close up shots and sound effects portray the queen’s anger and disturbance towards the cards that planted the white roses instead of the red which had made the queen very splenetic and pessimistic. The film techniques used in the scene creates a dark and
In 1862, floating upon the river Isis, Charles Dodgson narrated for Alice Liddell and a few others in company his original tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Gliding along underneath the blue sky, Dodgson wove his words into one of the most classic children stories of all time. Thesis: Although Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland may have only begun as a children’s story, many adults have sought to discover the “true meaning” of the novel. Curiosity has led to years of searching and interpretation of the origins of Carroll’s novels, and the symbols inside, developing into theories ranging from practical to nearly impossible, eventually evolving into their own stories in the film industry.
Alyss Heart, a 7 year-old girl who is characterized as an ingenuous, troublesome, and a captivating little girl,not anymore. Alyss Heart is now an artful, straightforward, and powerful woman. She is the queen of Wonderland who has fought for her world and protected her people. She was scared at first and didn’t think she was capable of defeating Redd, but she tried her best and fought for Wonderland, and
Next, the Cheshire cat is a supernatural aide as well for Alice. The Cheshire cat is rather poetic with everything he says and his advice to Alice gives off a poetic vibe. The supernatural part about the cat is that he enjoys disappearing and reappearing at random times. In Tough Alice, the Red and White Queens symbolized supernatural aides for Alice. There’s no such thing as a red or white queen which indicates that Alice is dreaming. Second, the red and white queens were seen as guidance this time around in Wonderland by saying things like “We are only present, not truly here,” “And you are your own future,” “You are a tough child” and “You figure it out (page 7-8, Yolen)”. This considered the queens to be aides towards Alice. To make it out of Wonderland this time, she had to learn to fight her own demons.
In “The Color Purple” by Alice Walker, The mood of the book is very depressing and sad. Celie feels very useless and unimportant. The only time where there is somewhat of a happy mood is when Shug Avery came into town and Mr.____ was able to see her. An example of the mood is sad and depressing is when Celie says “He beat me today cause he says I winked at a boy in church. I may have got somethin in my eye
I walk into the Moore’s house, and go upstairs. I see Alice on the bed, and tell her. “Hey, I did it with Alec. Oh, and I also told him I loved him, and he said it back. I think I wanna marry him.” “Ok slow down there Anna.” “I know, I’m sorry its just the happiest I’ve felt since what happened.” I know, and that's fantastic lets just not ask him to marry you yet.” “Yea, I know. I should probably get some less revealing clothes on.” “Yea, I’ll be downstairs.” She tells me.
Using relatable imagery, she immediately contrasts this statement by declaring that she has the “heart and stomach of a king”. Although these are common organs of the body, the Queen chooses the heart and stomach specifically because they provide blood and nutrition- some of the most essential elements of survival. She displays her valor using this imagery because a strong heart and stomach indicates a healthy body and mind overall. Therefore, the Queen incorporates meaningful imagery in her well-structured speech
I thin that the prom was interesting. I feel this way because of how the Alice in Wonderland theme was excuted. Another reason I feel this way is because the decorations had this crazy and weird atmosphere that fits the dream like qualities of Wonderland. For example, the decorations had gaint tea cups with flowers and cards inside of them, gaint glowing mushrooms, and a giant drink me bottles( a refernce about Alice in Wonderland that implies that you drank it and shrunk) to show qualities of a dream like atmosphere. Most importantly, I found that the food and refreshments that were served to be surprisingly, the most interesting part of the prom. The cupcakes looked like pure weirdness, with the mash of colors and swirly designs, the fruit
Catherine’s internal conflict is placed on a pedestal, emphasizing character development and growth as well as decline. Her choices throughout the book are a decision between reality and daydream, often resulting in the latter being chosen in an attempt to meet the expectations of other people. As Meyer pulls the reader into the Kingdom of Hearts, with its grandiose balls and talking turtles, Catherine’s
While the Queen of Hearts had invited Alice to play a game of croquet, she asks of Alice’s identity. Although Alice answers her, the Queen is furious with her answer and orders Alice’s execution. Rather than execute her, the King persuades the Queen by saying, “The king... timidly said,’ Consider, my dear: she is only a child’” (Carroll 93). But as the game continues, the rate of executions increases drastically, to where this no one left standing but the Queen, Alice, and the King.
To the average reader, the story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland may seem nonsensical and absurd. However, Carroll was incepting a much bigger picture than just of peculiar characters and poems of a stammering college professor. Indeed, the story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was a political satire filled with scenes that ridiculed the government or a legal process. Interestingly, in a scene from the book, Alice attends a trial judged by the King of Hearts whereby the Knave of Hearts is accused of stealing the Queen’s tarts. In the jury-box she sees 12 creatures, comprising of animals and birds, putting their names down on slates for fear they might forget their names at the end of the trial. Furthermore, the King of Hearts, at one point, starts demanding for a verdict from the jury but one never
Lewis Carroll's use of puns and riddles in Alice in Wonderland help set the theme and tone. He uses word play in the book to show a world of warped reality and massive confusion. He uses such play on words to reveal the underlying theme of growing up', but with such an unusual setting and ridiculous characters, there is need for some deep analyzing to show this theme. The book contains many examples of assonance and alliteration to add humor. Carroll also adds strange diction and extraordinary syntax to support the theme.
Whenever the queen is displeased it usually results in somebody getting their head cut off. This can be seen when Alice is put on trial in front of the queen and her court. The queens ruling results in Alice being guilty and becoming defiant to the queen. As a result the queen shouts, “off with her head!” (Carroll, 102). This represents Alice and her madness because as I stated earlier, this was all in Alice’s dream. Therefore the queen is a representation of what goes on in Alice’s head. She has that dark mental side to her nature.
The White Queen prances around in her graceful white gown, portraying her as sensitive, pure and an innocent soul. However, her lip colour, eyebrows and nail polish is in contrast to her skin tone; but then again, isn’t everything a little twisted in the nonsensical and intriguing world of Wonderland! The White Queen’s kind-hearted and good-natured charm is evident as the Red Queen jealously remarks, “You think you can blink with those pretty little eyes and I’ll melt just like mummy and daddy
Do you ever notice in stories, the female characters tend to be weak and sometimes have a mentor to guide them? Alice Adventures in Wonderland turned the tables on this type of character and made a strong, lively character Alice. Carroll disregarded the traditional plot lines and development of characters of his time by creating an empowered Alice, who overcomes the challenges in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Not only does Alice face different challenges through the story she also faces her pre-teen years of emotional and developmental stages. We can argue that Carroll disobeyed the normal childhood innocence by taking away Alice’s innocence because she had to go through Wonderland, facing different challenges that made her a strong
With the help of the Red Queen, Absolem, and the White Queen, representing the id, ego, and superego, respectively, the psychoanalytic theory can be utilized to portray the various levels of the human psyche. The id shows humans instinctual drives that are present at birth, such as how the Red Queen found pleasure in taking people’s heads off. The caterpillar was able to use his wisdom and practicality to make judgements about Alice in Wonderland, which shows hour the ego operates. The superego was portrayed by the White Queen, who knew the difference between right and wrong in Wonderland. In the human mind, all three are present in either a conscious or an unconscious state. In the film, Alice knows that her imagination has taken over, which was not admired of children during the Victorian
