Borderline Personality Disorders In Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland

The Whimsical World of Wonderland

Wonderland has created a world that operates by rules, and principles so different from ours that what seems normal, and logical for the rest of the characters cause Alice to appear drastically different as well as confused.
