... Justice System As seen through the Alice Books Marina Brewer Many people look at Lewis Carrol as a political satirist. Through his novels Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass he constantly criticizes the Victorian justice system. In this essay I will examine Carrol's attacks upon the ignorance of the court agents, the injustice of the system itself and the gravity of the punishments. Carrol has consciously picked very incompetent characters to portray the roles of court agents ... . The jury is made up of "creatures" (pg 144 ... ...

In several places, he relates the traveling of the mind to confusion and a reversal of realistic standards. For instance, when Alice travels through the mirror and into a fog that transports her to a magical world; this could easily be interpreted as a metaphor ... for some intoxicant. The first chapter reveals the fun and wonder of the confused mind, but soon the madness grows out of control and it becomes difficult for the mind to leave...

It was like this. She puzzled over this for some time, but at last a bright thought struck her. "Why, it's a Looking-glass book, of course! And if I hold it up to a glass, the words will all go the right way again." This was the poem t...
