A masterpiece of nonsense literature, which is enjoyed as ficton by children and contrary, is intriguing for adults as a symbolic and allegoric novel. There had been lots of interpretations of Alice's advendutres in Wonderland, from different points of view. Such as one that thinks that to analize and to understand Alice's adventures in Wonderland, the novel has to be interpreted as a satire. The history is plenty of satirical elements, such as the myriad poems that appear, and many of the characters are interested in verse. And so on.
In my opinion, the most important themes treated in the novel are the mature into adulthood, which means that during the journey in Wonderland, Alice encounters with numerous new situations in which she has to adapt to success, and in the beginning of the novel, she can't mantain her composure and she is always crying, but in the end, she is self-possessed and able to hold her own, so she has mature. Futhermore, the size change is another concept that appears, and it's related to the radical changes in size that the body have during the adolescence, and also, this big changes os size, in my opinion, are bringing to Alice a change in perspective, so she sees the world from very different points of view, so she can learn that not everybody has the same point of view of the things. Another constant topic that appears in the novel is the games, which are a constant part of life in Wonderland, every new social encounter of Aliceis as a game. This games have rules, which Alice have to learn. This topic of learning the rules to survive in Wonderland, for me it's like a metaphor of the adaptations to new social situtations that every child makes as he or she grows and gets older.
Finally, reading this book it comes to my mind...Who is crazy? We're crazy or in Wonderland are crazy?...
Remember this quote:
"The Mad Hatter: - Have I gone mad?
Alice: -I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."
