Alice replied, rather shyly, “I—I hardly know, Sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.” >“What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, sternly. “Explain yourself!” >“I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, Sir,” said Alice, “because I am not myself, you see.” ⇩ 🅻🅸🅽🅺🆂 ⇩ **🏷️ Tags**: #📚/Bookwarm **📑 PDF**： [[👾 Phycology of story - 《故事里的心理学 爱丽丝漫游仙境》.pdf]] ![[Mind Map - Alice In Wonderland Metaphor.png]] --- ![[故事里的心理学.png#left|350]]![[Alice In Wonderland.jpeg|#right|250]] ### Key 1. **Falling into the Rabbit Hole**: Opening the Door to the Subconscious 2. **Who Am I?** - Defining the Self with the Dodo 3. **Finding the Path**: The First Recognition of Self 4. **The March Hare and the Mad Hatter**: The Second Confirmation of Self 5. **The Queen of Hearts**: The Third Confirmation of Self 6. **The Courtroom**: Completion of Self ### The Process of Growing Up – Through Alice’s Journey #### 1. Falling Into the Rabbit Hole: Opening the Door to the Subconscious ![[Alice In Wonderland-2.png#left|400]] >[!info] The rabbit hole represents the entry point into Alice’s subconscious mind. • It highlights her **healthy curiosity** and willingness to explore herself, which reflects the upbringing of a child with **secure boundaries** set by their parents. • Unlike others who hesitate, Alice moves forward with determination, fully aware that this is part of a dream and part of her journey. #### 2. The Potion and Cake: Confronting Challenges ![[Alice In Wonderland-1.png|#left|400]] • The potion and cake symbolize the obstacles Alice must face. • The experience of growing larger and smaller multiple times mirrors the unpredictability and struggles of childhood. • This phase reminds us that lingering too long in the subconscious weakens one’s sense of self; growth happens when one returns to reality. #### 3. The Dodo’s Race: Integration of Socialisation ![[Alice In Wonderland-dodo.png#right|400]] • The chaotic race, where everyone wins and Alice shares her candies, symbolizes her preparation for **socialization**. • The world appears to lack rules, yet by persisting and adapting, one achieves rewards. • Alice’s reward, a brooch, represents the recognition of her personality and integration of her individuality, rather than satisfying physical needs. #### 4. The Four Confirmations of Self ![[Alice In Wonderland-cat.png#right|300]] ##### 1. **First Confirmation**: Encountering the Cheshire Cat • Through her interaction with the Cat, Alice begins to question her direction and realizes the importance of exploring life, regardless of specific goals. ##### 2. **Second Confirmation**: Leaving the Mad Tea Party ![[Alice In Wonderland-Hatter.png#left|300]] • The tea party represents temptations to stagnate in a world of endless pleasure and escape responsibility. Alice chooses to leave, demonstrating her maturity and readiness to face real-world challenges. ##### 3. **Third Confirmation**: Facing the Queen of Hearts ![[Alice In Wonderland-queen.png#right|200]] • The Queen represents inner hostility and aggression. Alice’s defiance of the Queen signifies overcoming her inner critic and the ability to manage her emotions. ##### 4. **Fourth Confirmation**: The Courtroom and Completion of Self • In the courtroom, Alice boldly declares her independence, recognizing the threats around her as mere illusions (“just a deck of cards”). • This final act of rebellion signifies her internal growth and the development of personal strength. ![[Alice In Wonderland-court.png]] ### Key Themes in Alice’s Growth • **Curiosity**: A willingness to explore oneself and confront challenges. • **Self-awareness**: Understanding one’s inner fears and overcoming them. • **Socialization**: Adapting to a world that appears chaotic, yet integrating into it. • **Rebellion**: Necessary resistance to external pressures as a sign of personal growth. Alice’s journey reflects the universal path of growth: recognizing inner fears, embracing personal strength, and returning from the subconscious to reality with a stronger, integrated self.
