Yes, "Alice in Wonderland" does have dark and surreal themes present throughout the story. The book explores themes of identity, confusion, absurdity, and madness, challenging the norms of reality and perception. These darker overtones add depth to the whimsical and fantastical world that Alice encounters.

The Alice in Wonderland indoor dark ride opened June 14, 1958. The Mad Tea Party, the outdoor ride with the spinning teacups, was there on opening day in July of 1955.
Alice in Wonderland does contain some gothic elements, such as a dark and surreal atmosphere, fantastical creatures, and a sense of unease or confusion. However, it is not typically classified as a gothic work due to its whimsical and humorous tone.
I would not let small children play this game. it is a very very dark and twisted version of Alice in Wonderland.
Many critics have noted that Alice in Wonderland is set in the summer months, takes place mainly outdoors, and features mainly characters who are indifferent to Alice or sometimes helpful. The later Alice through the Looking Glass however takes place in Winter, indoors, and has many characters who are actively hostile to Alice. (The underlying idea of Looking Glass - a game of chess - contains an idea of combat). When Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland he knew Alice Liddell and her sisters well, and was on good terms with their parents. By the time he came to write Looking Glass he had become estranged from the Liddell family (though he later rekindled his friendship with Alice). Also by the time Carroll was writing Looking Glass Alice' sister Lorina (who appears briefly in Wonderland as the Lory) had died. It is Looking Glass which is considered the dark book.
The physical description of Alice isn't present in the story. Disney is one of the most famous of the film adaptations, of which portrayed her as having blonde hair. The original Alice - Alice Liddell, whom Carroll knew personally, had dark hair. There are currently 25 film adaptations of Alice in Wonderland, many of which depict her as having dark hair. So, really, she actually doesn't even have blonde hair. +++ The original books were illustrated with pen-and-black-ink drawings, leaving hair colour ambiguous.
hmm im thinking some light sea green and pink and also a light blue display wall with green grass and stuff like that..
Oh, what a lovely question! In the story of Alice in Wonderland, Alice's father is not mentioned or seen in the original tale. But that doesn't mean he doesn't exist in the world of Wonderland! Perhaps he's off having his own adventures in a different part of the magical land. Let your imagination wander like Alice, and maybe you'll discover his story too.
Because the time period in which the story was originally crafted and printed, (circa 1862-1866) was during the Victorian era, many people of modern times enjoy interpreting the story with a gothic twist. While there are some macabre themes hidden under several layers in the story, most gothic interpretations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland are made of conjecture and a loose grasp of the story itself. Some examples of more gory interpretations of the book are American McGee's Alice PC game and Tim Burton's new Alice in Wonderland movie, featuring all of the classic characters with a whimsically dark twist, set twelve years after the original story.
Go Ask Alice is about a 15 year old girl who is tricked into taking LSD. It is her personal diary that she wrote. It's about her life, her struggles with drugs and friends. She gets hooked on drugs and can't get out, but struggles with all her might to get out of that dark pit. It tells all about her life, the ups the downs, the good the bad. In some parts it's really graphic and depressing, with no hope for a future. However eventually, it becomes a bittersweet ending. Sad and lonesome, but beautiful and heartfelt.
no question about it. he certainly is demonic as evidenced by ALL his movies and his version of Alice in Wonderland to date. his rendition of the Cheshire cat is nothing short dark in the worst way.
