    By modern standards, the introduction to Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland isn’t particularly attention-grabbing. The story starts out with a calm pastoral scene, and doesn’t really begin to pick up until the main character is falling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. However, by Victorian standards, the seemingly mundane beginning would be full of potential, as well as more fitting for a children’s story than an action-introduction followed by a flashback to introduce all the characters properly. The characters themselves are all unique and colorful, with even minor characters having unforgettable quirks and roles to play.

Employing the use of the useless educational system in Victorian society, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland depicts several moments within its tale where Alice attempts to conduct herself by reciting facts she learned in school to try and maintain a sense of her life prior to falling down the rabbit hole into the world of Wonderland. The first evidence of this occurring features in the first chapter succeeding her tumble. She begins to wonder how far she has fallen and attempts calculating the exact distance away from the centre of the Earth she is; “let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think […] but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I’ve got to?”
