Lewis Carroll / Alice in the popular culture
These are links to pages that are related to Carroll (mostly Alice) in the
popular culture. Alice has been used to promote sales of most anything and
to prove a wide variety of beliefs. Alice references have become a part of
our everyday experinces. What's a good example of this. This political pin sort
of says it all. I don't know if Lewis Carroll would be
amused, amazed, or abashed. Regardless, this use of Alice keeps his work in
the public arena generation after generation. Also included here is Alice in
the performing arts. I think that Alice is an icon of the popular culture. To register your
opinion visit Icons of England and let them know.
If you answer no, I can only assume that you think she is a world icon and not just an English one.
I would have made this page more disorganized, if only I could. Links on this
page disappear quite regularly. If you find a dead link please notify me. I
am in the midst of testing these links, but time is finite (at least mine is).

Movies of a Carrollian Nature
I have started with some easy ones. Please mail in additions to this list.
- The Matrix
- Being John Malkovich and another view.
- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
- In one of the opening scenes of Dogma, a recent Kevin Smith movie, Loki interprets the Walrus and the Carpenter as religious figures who attract followers (the oysters) and then eat them. With this interpretation he dissuades a nun from her life's calling, convincing her of his feigned atheism: those religious figures are just leading us to doom, and are not in support of or embody an diety at all...even though Loki is an angel, technically, and has, as Bartelby points out, been in the presence and even sopken with God himself. He makes connections with Buddha, Jesus, and other historical religious figures...
- Mrs. Miniver 1942

Parodies, Spinoffs, etc.

- A frumpled version of Thru the Looking-Glass play script by William J. Springer
- A sailing parody of the Mad Gardener's Song
- Jabberwocky mania - should Jabberwocky come with a warning label? This could happen to your child!
- Jabberwocky parodies. Grab your vorpal sword in hand before entering (there are monsters to be slain).
- Why Jabberwocky? I'm glad you asked. Here are 10 useless facts to help answer that question.
- Well it's not on the web (I don't think), but have you seen The MAXX #28? A character goes into a Wonderland trance to bring her back to her childhood and free up her inhibitions so she can solve her psychological problems. At least I think that's the crux. As a taste - the Tweedles are twin sisters (topsy-turvy) who are opposite ends of the binge and purge spectrum of yo-yo dieting.
- The Red Queen as you've never seen her. I hope this confuses you as much as it did me.
- A Snark parody. I had to include this - my sister has a Border Collie.

Drug References
-
Let me be perfectly clear here, there is no proof (in his letters or his diaries) that Lewis Carroll did recreational drugs.
Certainly there were drug references in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and
these were picked up on by people with interests in that area, particularly in the late sixties.
You might ask yourself why students insist that he did and why some teachers teach that he did.
That is not to say that Carroll never took Laudunum for a medical problem on the advice of a doctor, but if he felt that these
opened his mind or increased his awareness, why did he never mention it?
- Alice gets linked to the drug culture. No, Lewis Carroll did not use mind altering drugs to increase his creativity. He used his imagination. If you have one, it's better than drugs. If you don't, the drugs won't help you. With apologies to the late Timothy Leary.
