         I am going to present the theme of The Imaginary; he has become a subject that the children but also those adults like. The theme is composed of two extracts from the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The First is an extract of the chapter five, Advice from a Caterpillar. He asks her who she is but she is lost and does not know answer. She tell him she want a size normal. Then the caterpillar indicates to Alice that one side of the mushroom will make her taller and the other side will make her smaller. The second extract from to chapter seven, a mad tea-party, Alice, in the extract, becomes a guest of the March hare and the Hatter. They will have a conversation strange.

Lewis Carroll of written the book in one thousand eight hundred sixty-two during a walk in a park. The complementary document that I choose is the movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone produced by Chris Columbus 5 December 2001.

For better understand, this two extract, we can pull the next problem, that reveals the character of Alice through the two extracts? First all, we will see the education in herself, then the problem of Alice’s identity and finally, we will see the amazing world of Wonderland.

        The education in the Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland is particular. Lewis Carroll was against the society in which he lived was a Victorian society (rigid). The character of Alice reflects the child's status in the Victorian era. The dominant figure of the child in Victorian literature is one of the only orphans in the world, forced to mimic the worst behavior of adults to survive, like Oliver Twist, Dickens. It is a well-known fact that Dickens ‘novels often portrayed unhappy young characters. Alice is not reduced to such extremes but nevertheless repeated experience of punishment for transgressing the rules which she knew most often existence. Alice rebels and wins wonderland.

In the excerpt from Chapter 7, "A Mad Tea-Party of" The March Hare and the Hatter sing, talk to say nothing and make completely absurd jokes, like the riddle of the Hatter: "Why a crow-like t- it to a desk? "All company rules disappear, that is to say that the three characters are the March Hare, the Hatter and the Dormouse have a real lack of education. For example the Dormouse doze and mumbling words or a song, is not suitable.

For the problem of Alice’s identity to begin, Alice fights with the importance and the instability of personal identity. She is constantly to be identified by the creatures she meets, but she doubts her identity. For example, in Chapter 5, when the Caterpillar asks her who she is, she is unable to answer, because she feels she has changed several times since this morning. Alice tries to explain her situation caterpillar but that does not include any of his words, and this from the beginning of the chapter:[pic 5]

"I can’t explain myself, I'm afraid, sir, said Alice, because I'm not myself, you see.

-I don’t see, said the Caterpillar.

-I'm afraid I can’t put it more clearly, Alice replied very politely, for I can’t understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing”

Lewis Carroll loved impartially and innocent young children approach the world. With the adventures of Alice in Wonderland, he would describe how a child sees our adult world, including all (in the eyes of a child stupid and arbitrary) rules and social etiquette that we created for ourselves and the ego and bad habits we have developed over our lives. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the child's struggle to survive in the confusing world of adults. To understand our adulthood, Alice must overcome the openness that is characteristic for children.
