I am going to be comparing and contrasting the movie Alice Through the Looking Glass and the series Lemony Snickets: A Series of Unfortunate Events. For example, a difference that these two television shows have is that Alice goes to Wonderland once more. The Baudelaires have to face a madman known as Count Olaf, who is an actor, but, nobody recognizes him when he dresses up in disguises to fool people so that he can become in possession of the Baudelaire fortune even though the children recognize him the three times he tries to disguise himself. A similarity that they both have is that they both go on an adventure to find something out that they are determined to know. First, I am going to be comparing and contrasting the conflict in the …show more content…
One of the main characters in Alice Through the Looking Glass is Alice. She had dreams when she was a little kid about Wonderland. But when she grows older she actually does go to Wonderland. One of the other characters in Alice Through the Looking Glass is the Mad Hatter. He is a silly man who always is jolly and good. That is until he finds the hat that he had made as a little boy. The third main character in Alice Through the Looking Glass is Time. He is an invincible machine. When he meets Alice he finds out that his invincible machine is in fact vinsible. The first main character in Lemony Snickets: A Series of Unfortunate Events is Violet Baudelaire. She is the eldest of the Baudalaire children. She has a brave soul and she loves to invent all kinds of things. The second main character is Klaus Baudalaire. He is the middle child of the Baudalaire children. He has a kind, reasoning soul and loves to read. The third main character is Sunny Baudalaire. She is the youngest of the Baudalaire children. She has a curious, happy soul and loves to bite things because her teeth have super powers and she can only eat hard foods. These characters are different because the charcters are all older than the Baudalaire in Alice Through the Looking Glass. The Baudalaire children are obviously children. The way that these characters are the same is that they all have to go on an adventure
One character which stands out the most is the mad hatter. She approaches the mad hatter during his tea party. Almost immediately it becomes clear to her that he, along with his companions (the Dormouse and the March Hare), are insane. Because of this, she begins to lose her patience and when Alice is finally asked a question about her opinion, she says, “‘Really, now you ask me, [...] I don’t think-.’”
This approach is clearly showcased within the novel itself by having five diverse narrators throughout the plot. Collectively the characters tell one story but narrate distinct accounts and details influenced by their personalities. Kingsolver 's tells a communal narrative through the voices of Ruth May, Leah, Adah, Rachel, and Orleanna Price. Her use of multiple narrators
There are many movies and books that have tons of similarities and differences. I choosed A Series of Unfortunate Events, because of the nail biting moments that are in the book and movie. Plus,and you just want to know what happened. They both have many differences, but not many similarities. Some of the differences are very big changes and might make you like the other one more.
First, the overall conflict may not be easy for one to determine at first, but it’s used only to foreshadow the bigger conflict. Beginning with the
The conflict represents that the house is controlling the children and the parents. However, George and Lydia can understand the problems within the house.

Another minor character the author introduces the reader to is a woman named Mrs. Schatcher. She plays an even smaller role, spanning only four pages of chapter two.

Coward men. Strongest men... Miracles.” These are the kind things you would find in the classic tale of The Princess Bride. You might’ve heard of the story of the princess bride, by William Goldman. Although the princess bride was originally a book it was made into a film in 1987.
Alice in Wonderland Societal Reading Victorian society demanded a specific role of civilians with strict expectations they always adhere to. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, more commonly recognised by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, is one author who questioned these expectations through the use of satire within his text Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Satirizing the rule and conventions of Victorian society is one manner in which Carroll subverts the nature of this time period by drawing specific attention to the worst aspects and proving how ridiculous they truly are.
Conflict can be described as the struggle between two opposing forces, whether the forces being person vs person, person vs self or person vs society. Good examples of conflict can be found in almost any book. Margaret Atwood’s novel, the Handmaid’s Tale is a source of all three types of conflicts. The Handmaid’s Tale is about a society where females are given specific duties and are restricted from reading, writing, talking to others and looking at themselves in mirrors. The protagonist, Offred whom is also the narrator in the novel faces conflicts with herself, with other people, and the society that she lives in.
Finally, the last major character is Dawn, she is the narrator’s ex-girlfriend and is stated by the narrator to be the motivation for his actions, hence the motivation for this story, even though she does not physically appear in the story. Next we have the three
Conflict is the essence of any literary fiction. The main goal of an author is to tell a story that keeps the reader interested. At the story’s core, conflict is the momentum of happening and change and is crucial on all levels for delivering information and building characterization as well as building the story itself. Conflict is the source of change that engages a reader and keeps them interested. In a story, conflict and action does what description and telling of feelings and situations do not.
The characters in the movie are also much more developed, in contrast to the book where most characters are used just to point the story in certain direction. Despite the changes that were made for the movie adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, the characters and parts of the story that are commonly associated with it, such as the rabbit hole and the Cheshire Cat have been kept. An example of this is the white rabbit. The rabbit is the first glimpse that Alice gets of the fantasy world, so it is a very important character.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland can be described as a work of fantasy and literary nonsense. The story follows seven-year-old Alice, as she falls down a rabbit hole and enters a strange and absurd world
A Doll’s House: Character Comparison and Contrast Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House contains a cast of deeply complex characters that emulate the 1800’s societal norms that they belong to. Two characters that compare and contrast each other throughout the play are Nora Helmer and Kristine Linde. Nora and Kristine are similar because they both display a sense of independence. Their personalities differ as Nora presents herself as inexperienced, while Kristine is more grounded in reality.
5. Analysis of major characters Elizabeth Bennet Even in her blindest moments, Elizabeth Bennet is an unfailing attractive character. She is described as a beauty and has especially expressive eyes, but what everybody notices about her is her spirited wit and her good sense. Mainly because of that good sense, Elizabeth is her father 's favorite child and her mother 's least favorite. Her self-assurance comes from a keen critical mind and is expressed through her quick-witted dialogue.
