The imagery is used to create a visual representation for the reader, which illustrates Alice is fearful about her actions, and she is concerned for new experiences. Consequently, both composers display the idea of an eventful discovery…

Swapping gender roles is important, especially in the Victorian Era, as it serves as a means to pinpoint how extreme male-dominated or extreme female-dominated features are absurd, or almost…
