Alice (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)

From Free net encyclopedia

Image:Alice par John Tenniel 04.png Alice is a fictional character in the books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, which were written by Charles Dodgson under the pen name Lewis Carroll.

The character is based on Alice Liddell, a child friend of Dodgson's. The pictures, however, do not depict Alice Liddell, as the illustrator never met her. She is seen as a logical girl, sometimes being pedantic, especially with Humpty Dumpty in the second book. As stated in Through the Looking-glass, Alice is seven years old.

Alice is popularly depicted wearing a pale blue knee-length dress with a white pinafore overtop, although the dress originally was yellow in The Nursery "Alice", the first coloured version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Her blonde hair is held back with a wide black bow, and in honour of Alice, such hairbows are sometimes called "Alice bands", particularly in the UK. As Alice was first drawn in black & white her colors would vary from artist to artist; it was Disney who made blue the most popular color for her dress and blonde for her hair. However, Alice has been colored by Tenniel in a blue dress, with white stripes at the bottom. Her pinafore is outlined in red.

Tenniel drew Alice in two variants: for "Through the Looking-glass" she was shown in striped stockings, an image which has remained in much of the later art.

Besides the books, Alice has appeared in other works, the most famous one being the Disney film version. Relating to the Disney film, Alice is also featured in the Playstation 2 game Kingdom Hearts, in the Wonderland level. In the game, Alice has been found guilty by the Queen of Hearts, and is put on trial. In the 2000 PC game, American McGee's Alice, Alice is portrayed as an older, dark-haired girl with green eyes.pl:Alicja z "Alicji w Krainie Czarów"
