The grotesque in "Alice Books"*
Matej Mužina
Abstract
Lewis Carrolľs famous "Alice Books" are in popular view taken to be written for the amusement of children, in a more sophisticated reading these stories are meant for grown-ups who become children again" after they have read them. The keynote in both views is gaiety and
irresponsible or "bubbling laughter". I would like, in this paper, to concentrate on the question what frightens us in "Alice Books".
