What are some archetypes in alice in wonderland?

Question

archetypes are universal images, patterns and forms.

ex: arch villian, hero, scapegoat, etc

Answer 1

Ok well i did major works on AIW so:

-Queen is obviously the major antagonist

-Alice major protagonist

-Cheshire cat - Fairy god mother type thing, guide

-sort of comedic releif is the tea party members (mad hatter etc.)

- I don't know if this is what you want but book is about the sexual maturity and puberty of such a child as alice. The door to the garden represents the unattainable adult world, ideallic and perfect. Also garden may represent garden of eden. The choices for alice are not easy or clear. The drink me bottle can indicate hard decisions and nievity of children. TThe fact she keeps changing size is obviously some sort of reference to puberty and growing up. Finding the adult world confusing and unbeleivable - nonesense theme and crazy logic. The fact the whole world is unbeleivable is like childs imagination. The reference to politics in the first part is also a adult world reference.

Hope this helps!
