Authors such as James Joyce and Virginia Woolf deliberately modified the way that stories were told. They utilized many techniques that allowed them greater range of expression, many of which were not even ...

When one reads a tale, he or she hardly takes it seriously. No surprise! First of all, everyone expects a fairy tale to entertain describing an unreal world with where happens an unreal story. Secondly, nobody seeks for a deep sense in a fair tale, especially if it is a pure nonsense like in case with “Alice in Wonderland” by Lewis Caroll. However, there’s definitely a certain sense in this nonsense. It won't be the exaggeration to say that this tale is full of sense, symbols, allusions or metaphors.
