Abstract
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is set on a dream that deforms the real world where the protagonist lives. In the same way that the Tea Party is a parody of these Victorian occasions and mannerisms, several other places such as the room that Alice encounters after falling through the rabbit hole, the garden, and the Duchess’ kitchen are representations of real spaces based on the experiences that the girl would have lived around them. Through the analysis of the portrayals of these spaces on different adaptations of the text, this work analyzes the role that her expectations, misconceptions and fears have played in the building of Wonderland.
