The story shows a magical trip of the protagonist, Alice, a seven-year-old little girl to a fantasy world which is created by Alice’s imagination. Following the development of plot, readers gradually sharpen insight into the Wonderland. It seems to be a place that is totally different from the reality. Given that the particularity of the character and the setting, it is obvious that the Wonderland is not just a dream world. However, Lewis Carroll has a satiric tone to criticize the injustice and ugliness of the adult world. In the unknown world, people like Alice will undoubtedly feel fear and stumble. They are bewildered but never easily abandon themselves. Purity and simplicity is appreciated from this novel. From people bright eyes and sufficient courage, the freedom and hope would be delivered continuously. It is of practical significance to get a better understanding of people’s stumble and fall to the unknown reflected in the novel, and integrate it into the reality.66256
