The Critique of Victorian Colonising and Consuming Practices in Lewis Carroll's Alice Books

In this thesis, my aim is to explicate the parody of Victorian imperialism and colonisation in Lewis Carroll's Alice books. I point out the main character's,Alice's intrusions to the magical kingdoms and the critique of the colonisers'aggression through Alice's belligerent behaviour towards the native creatures. In the second part I indicate the derision of the capitalist and overconsuming Victorian society through food metaphors, Alice's oral desire and changing female body which results her identity crisis. The last part is about Alice's depiction as a cannibal and her eating desire toward the other characters which is the critique of the overconsuming Victorian society as well.BSc/BAAnglisztikaB
