jackI've said this before, but it seems to me that Alice in Wonderland is about the absurdity of the world, especially as amplified by being a child in a world run by grownups who don't understand it but keep micromanaging you anyway.
And I think many people like it because it depicts that absurdity, and lets them say "wow, someone else gets it".
Whereas I had the opposite reaction despite coming from a simiilar source: I originally felt really uncomfortable with it, because I felt like I already had too many things that just randomly confused issues and made no sense, I didn't need more.
