Alice In Wonderland

In chapters 5 and 6 of Alice In Wonderland, Alice continues on her journey and meets more animals and even actual people. She talks to the Caterpillar about changing and attempts to find common ground with him (he will eventually turn into a butterfly and she"s not the same as she was). When Alice meets the Pigeon, she is accused of being a serpent. This could represent the stereotypes everyone goes through in real life.

After getting back to Alice's real size, she meets the Duchess, the Cook, the Cheshire-cat, and a little baby/pig. Those four sort of have the domestic abuse representation especially since the footman ran off to get away from it all.
Before Alice was starting to realize that Wonderland was weird but then she begins to think that everything is normal again, having no problem with the baby turning into a pig or with having a conversation with a disappearing cat when before she was amazed it was grinning. This could show that Alice has fallen into an even deeper sleep.

    You're very true. Women were always domestic workers and that's how everybody thought it was always. Alice then may be alot different than everybody else because she doesn't believe in the way they live the way they do. This separates Alice from everybody else.
