To start off with Alice through the looking glass and the theme for that movie. The theme in Alice through the looking glass is Don’t try and change the past. I know that one of the themes is that because Alice is trying to change what has already happened but she could not fix it. For example, when Alice is where she meets the Mad Hatter and the Mad Hatters dad get mad at him Alice tries to fix it. When Alice tried to fix it nothing happened and sometimes she made it worse than it already was. In Hidden Figures the theme is not judging a book by it’s cover. The reason I believe it is the theme Don’t judge a book by it’s cover because white people are judging the colored. The white people have not even met the colored people and they are judging them and thinking that they are not smart. The reason it goes along with don’t judge a book by its cover is because some people judge the book just by looking at it. To judge a book or in this case a person you have to get to know them. The similarity in both is they both focused on the future and not the past. All the characters focused on the future. If they focused on the past it would be sad, but they focused on the future and what was going to happen, not what already happened. In that paragraph you read how in a way the themes for both that movies were

  • Theme Of Fantasy And Reality In A Streetcar Named Desire

    825 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the story Alice in Wonderland, the world of Wonderland represents the main antagonist Alice’s fantasy that is fueled by her desire of staying in the past and remaining a child. Ultimately, she fears the changes that come with becoming an adult; thus, she resists reality and embraces the lies of her fantasy of staying a child by staying in Wonderland. Furthermore, this is similar to how the main antagonist in A Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche DuBois, resists reality by lying to herself and everyone she knows because she also fears reality. Unlike Blanche, Alice soon realizes that by embracing her fantasies and desires she would be led down a path of destruction because fantasy and reality are incompatible. Likewise, Tennessee Williams covers the topic of the incompatibility of fantasy and reality in A Streetcar Named Desire by making the character Blanche DuBois, which represents fantasy, resist and have a conflict with the character Stanley Kowalski, which represents reality, because he wants to convey that it is natural to fear and resist reality and take solace in desire and fantasy.
