Lewis Carroll's Novel Alice in Wonderland

In Lewis Carroll's novel Alice in Wonderland, Alice is curious, well-

mannered, and confused while she tries to find her way out of Wonderland.

Alice meets many unique and weird creatures which eventually help her

escape wonderland. Alice shows that she is curious through her actions. At

the beginning of the book Alice gets distracted from her "boring" work, and

chases a white rabbit down a hole. This excerpt describes Alices curiosity,

"Alice started to her feet, for it flashed in her mind that she had never

before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket". When Alice is at the

bottom of the hole she find a bottle labeled "Drink Me", she wants to see

what it tastes like, this excerpt describes the event "...this bottle was

not marked 'poison', so Alice ventured to taste it, finding it very nice".

Another instant that shows her curiosity when she looks for the white

rabbits fan and gloves, she finds a bottle, this time there was no table,

"There was no label this time with the words 'Drink Me' ... 'I know

something interesting is going to happen' ... ' I'll just see what it

does',". Alice is like a little girl that is still exploring the world

around her, but she finds that she is more mature than the creatures in

Wonderland.

Alice is very well mannered in Victorian ways to the creatures of

Wonderland. Alice shows her good manners when she enters the white rabbits

house and the rabbit tells Alice to go fetch his gloves and fan, "I'd

better take his fan and gloves- that is if I can find them", since Alice is

a guest, uninvited, she follows the owners orders. When Alice runs into

caterpillar she calls him "Sir", here is an excerpt from the book , " I

can't explain myself myself, I'm afraid, Sir", this shows that she respects

the creatures of Wonderland. When Alice enters the Duchesses house and the

Duchess throws the baby to
