Was the original story of Alice in Wonderland really written by a girl who was raped?

Question

My fiance told me that he heard that Alice in Wonderland was originally a story written by a girl who was raped by someone named the mad hatten, and she wrote these stories to escape the reality of it. He also said that Disney then took her story and published it into a book/movie. Although this seems interesting and a little believable because Walt Disney was a disgusting man, it also sounds like a rumor. I looked it up on wikipedia, and it didn't say anything about this. Had anyone heard of this?

Answer 1

No. Not at all....

Where the hell did he get that from/

The book was written by Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) a Victorian gent, a great writer, mathematician and photographer.

The book is linked to Alice Liddell: Its said that the book was inspired by the little girl, although it's also said that he's denied claims that the book was based on her.

Having said that, he hand wrote and illustrated a copy of the book: titled to her 'Alice's adventured underground' and gave this copy for her to keep. You can buy copies of the book (photographed obviously) from the British Library.

Alice Liddell was a friend of the family, and he used her as a model very offen in his photography.



Today: after his death, rumours of Charles Dodgson being a peadophile emerged. As he has a few nude photographs of children that he had taken (although, many famous Victorian photographers took these kinds of photos at the time: they represented innocence). Then his relationship with Alice Liddell was questioned. But there is absolutely no evidence that he was a peadophile, but his apparent lack of adult relationships only gave some people more evidence that he was in love with Alice Liddell.



There is also no evidence Lewis Carroll was on drugs when writing the book.

And disney did not invent Alice in Wonderland.

Answer 2

There is mystery clouding the relationship between the real Alice (Alice Liddell) and Lewis Carroll. He met her and her family when she 4 in Oxford, England at Christ Church college where he worked. He became very close friends with Alice and her two sisters. The story in the book is one he told them while on a boat ride to a picnic one summer day. Several years later the family had a falling out with Carroll and to this day no one knows for certain why. The letters Carroll had written to Alice were burned by her mother, and the diary pages of his journal from the time period have been torn out by his family. It is all speculation now of what happened. Some people believe he behaved indecently towards Alice, some believe he proposed to her (she would have been 13-but that was not unheard of in that time period), other believe he proposed to the oldest daughter when he was meant to be courting their nanny. But beyond all that, Alice Liddell never said a bad word against Lewis Carroll and well in to her life she was saying how thankful she was for their friendship. Some people can't understand the child-like mind of Lewis Carroll, it makes them uneasy and they immediately spring on accusations. But the point being is the book is well crafted and full of imagination. Without Alice in Wonderful I think children's literature would be a bit empty.

Answer 4

Alice in Wonderland was written by a man under the name Lewis Carroll in the 1800s. He based the main character, Alice, on a little girl named Alice Liddell. Later, Disney decided to make it into a movie.

Answer 5

original story alice wonderland written girl raped

Answer 6

Um... Alices Adentures in Wonderland, is a book written by Lewis Carrol (sorry if I spelled his name wrong). Like most disney movies they took their idea for a movie from a "well known" book, often a childrens story. Alices dventures in Wonderland was not written by a "girl that was raped". And, also, it was written quite a while ago. I just wanted to let you know the context of your words here: "...and she wrote these stories to escape the reality of it. He also said that Disney then took her story and published it into a book/movie." make it seem like Disney made it into a movie soon after the book was published, which is not the case at all. It was published in like... 1865 I think...

Answer 7

I really don't know if that is true because I know Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carrol and he is a guy. And he came up with some of the characters because he suffered from migraines and that causes vertigo.



And he came up with it in 1862. He was a Oxford Mathematician.

Answer 8

I'm gob-smacked by the number of people who think Alice in Wonderland is a Dsiney story.



It's the same with snow white.

Answer 9

Your fiance is a liar , feeble minded, or completely ignorant of the world. I'd suggest checking to see if he is an out patient from a mental ward. Disney used Alice in Wonderland in a movie for the same reason it selected most plots, it was in the public domain and as such required them to pay no royalties.

Answer 10

Ok I have read the two books on "Alice" by Lewis Carrol and this is so false. Lewis Carrol wrote the books because he had split personally. He would have nightmares and Alice was the girl who saved him in is dreams. She was made up. So by helping him, he wrote the "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" about her.

The movie version, was written by a man who was on acid. That is way it is really colorful.

Answer 11

... =|

Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll. So 'Alice' obviously didn't write these books.



Lewis Carroll was this creepy author who got hopped up on Acid one day and decided to write a trippy novel about this 7 year old girl who was his neighbour's kid. Her name was Alice, and he was in love with her.

That is the TRUE story...

Answer 12

I love watching television, I really like the animal shows, the medical shows and the courtroom and Judges shows

Answer 13

There are plenty of many reviews out there that do not have movies. Literature can explore ideas and concepts without having to get worried in regards to a special results budget.

Answer 14

I heard that it was written by a guy on drugs. But I have no idea if that's true.

Answer 15

Answer 16

my law teacher said it was originally written by a man who was against the political system in britain at the time. thats why there are some references to the cruelty in the book, like when the queen (?) says, "off with their heads!" even though she hadnt heard them out.

Answer 17
