Well all those made sence, I just never though Alice would be on drugs, although I knew their was something funny about that caterpiller.. Eh, not so much. A lot of the list is just as off base as saying Alice was on LSD. 1. Cannabis didn't have common use in England during the time. 2. The term "down the rabbit hole" was coined by Carroll, it wasn't until later that the term was associated with drug use. 3. Ecstasy? MDMA wasn't synthesized until over five decades later. It took several more decades before the drug was found to be recreational. Shrooms? Eh. 4. LSD? No. Already debunked that idea. 5. Using food to calm a high? Yeah, definitely not an 1865 sort of thing. 6. Now it seems like they're just grasping at straws. 7. Refer to #2. 8. Great, get back to us on that. But, make sure you're not reading Alice in Wonderland, cause they aren't even in that book. 9. Tobacco is commonly smoked out of a Hookah. Nothing particularly psychoactive about it. 10. It's one of the main themes of the book: Identity. Don't insult the philosophy here. Alive really doesn't know who she is. 11. Strange new world, strange new rules. Scary too. 12. The stammer in Alice's speech is much more likely a reflection of the authors real life stammer. Further, it highlights a theme of communication. 13. Fantasy world. 14. Theme of madness. 15. Yeah, cause the only reason you wouldn't want to go "among mad people" is because they could harsh your mellow. 16. Cocaine was just introduced into European culture in the powdered form around the time of publication. I highly doubt such a reference was being made here. 17. Themes of time. 18. She's a little girl. She's scared out of her mind! 19. Huh? 20. Kind of become a device in the story, silly head. If you look hard enough, you can find whatever you want. |
