In Alice in Wonderland, Carroll uses the hyperbolic and fantasious mind of a seven-year child to present us an imaginary world where food can make us get bigger or smaller, where animals can talk, and where there is a Queen wanting to chock out our heads.

        Wonderland is a literary device used by Carroll in order to critizise Victorian Society´s situation, where people died from hunder  and starvation, and where there was a hidden situation of poverty.

        Through my critical paper, I am going to study how Carroll uses this fantasy with a social purpose, and how the Victorian society is shown in his microcosm.
