What Changes When a Story Changes Medium?
Follow Alice across 160 years as Victorian mathematical satire is transformed into Broadway slapstick, Czech stop-motion psycho-horror, and player-controlled survival action.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Creator: Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) & John Tenniel (Illustrations)
Original Victorian linguistic satire; characters embody arbitrary logic games, mathematical paradoxes, and schoolroom parodies.
Third-Person free indirect focalization centered on a polite, highly articulate 7-year-old Victorian girl.
Playful linguistic subversion of moralizing Victorian children's literature.
Linear textual reader progression; Alice's curiosity drives episodic encounters without an overarching martial quest.
Visual Framing: Tenniel's black-and-white cross-hatching established the definitive iconography of the playing-card soldiers and Cheshire grin.
