    Language Of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland

    How do the characters use language to display agression in Lewis Carrol's verson? Also, on what does the king and queens authority lie? This is all very confusing to me....any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!!!!!

    I think, because the story is a satire of Victorian society, the characters try to act as polite as possible, and their aggression is released through accents on different words to express something strongly. The authority of the King and Queen lie in the fact that they are royalty, and the card soldiers do whatever she says. However, I believe that not all the time is she obeyed. How many players' heads were used as balls in Croquet? None, even though the Queen was shouting "OFF WITH HIS/HER HEAD!!!!!" every time she was ousted in the game or made a mistake.
