The
information gathered through my navegation with the internet, is enough
to adjust my expectations, which I anticipated concerning the abstract.
Lewis Carroll´s work "Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland", appears
in its majority, marked by formalist theories. What we say is most
important than how we say it, the form predominates jover content.
It is a book which uses an irrational world to criticize the rational world,
the same happens in "Gulliver Travells" by J.Swift, in which appears characters
which are a parody of our reality and through the critic helps us to see
our faults. It takes way the use of an ironic language, in which the What
we say has a privileged place.
On the other hand, if the book is for children or adults, I could compare
with the interviews that the public which the work directs to does not
import, but the numerous interpretations that we can take out depends on
the envolve of the interpretation capacity and knowledge, the analysis
will be more or less going deep.
Moreover, differents film versions of the original book exist, such as:
Whalt Disney, which has as object infant public and as consecuence the
use of colour, animals and music play an important part: one image can
speak a thousand words; and another version in which teh "word" acquires
more stregth and the image is in the background with in the context of
the work.
Personally, I would say that is not an adults novel or a child´s
tale, but it is a work which a reader of any generation must interpretate
for themselves. Different generations will interpretate the story in their
own way and perhaps compare it with todays world with with different contexts.
