Some people believe that the characters in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll are metaphors for the human psyche that delve deep into the human consciousness in the political, economic and social frameworks as a satire. Each character is unique and strange in the illusions woven to reveal the truth in the socio-economic-political structure created by humans as society to ridicule it.

There are also opinions which do not support this theory, including one which suggests that the strangness of Wonderland and its characters is in fact a satire on contemporary ideas about mathematics which Carroll considered ridiculous and laughable.

Why do people like Alice in Wonderland?

It all started in Oxford, England in a boat beneath a sunny sky where echoes fade and memories die. Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), Reverend Duckworth, Alice Liddell (The Real Alice), Lorina Liddell, and Edith Liddell were all in that boat that famous day. Lewis was telling the three little girls of a marvelous place called Wonderland and Alice loved the stories so much that she asked him to give it to her as a book. So Lewis set to work and gave it to her for Christmas. Later his friend George Macdonald had his children read the story and they told Lewis to publish it. Thus the story was born on a boat. I suggest you read "Still She Haunts Me" it'll explain every detail of why the Wonderland was made.
