The plot is unrealistic, but the writer managed to create a convincing world of imagination, suitable for children, giving them an example of imagination.
The author is playing with the world of illusions, giving the characters both good and bad features, describing his environment in a manner of caricature. We are uncertain of the true meaning of the fall, and that is one of the main fantasy features in this novel.
This fall can be used as a metaphor for falling into sleep, not just as a representation of a physical fall in another world.
The fall itself is described as especially strange and astonishing, because Alice is falling down very slowly, unaware of the passing time or distance, and she was even able to sleep for a while. Besides the characters, the rabbit hole in which Alice fell is also an unusual element. By genre, this novel is an example of children fantasy novel, filled with fantastic elements and following the rules of the fantasy genre through the whole book.įantastic elements are consisted out of unusual characters, as personified playing cards or the rabbit wearing a tail-coat and a wrist watch.
