Lewis Carroll's childrens' stories, and how they teach us about conflict

Alice in Wonderland is renowned for being both pointless and illogical. child in me likes the logic and stupidity, the logic for all of us a safe haven in the so-called "known", and you can be sure of this, as the rules of geometry. When you're in the real world or the nature or the world must all be constantly changing, and kids are more aware of us, because they are constantly growing, and I think Lewis Carroll was well aware that, when Alice had to grow tall, and then briefly as the house mirrors of fun. But in reality it is a life seen from a child's perspective.
Lewis Carroll's take a look at the child's life must seem pretty crazy must have been innovative for its time, it is a special viewing of his Alice stories. On May Have first thinker to express that, it would certainly stirred the Victorians. Because Carroll was a mathematician to realize that this is a sharp contrast to the logic and math so-called world of adults, although adults, while they retreat to their heads go through their own growth, its terrible evolution of body and self, but they tend to ignore the fact that are occupied with their mental effort.
In Lewis Carroll's stories on her experiences in conflict with itself, it can not agree with a lot of them. It is in conflict with them, but his dreams conflict is episodic and going from one conflict to another without ever being resolved. But it's still playful conflict, Lewis Carroll shows that conflict can be very playful, absurd, if carried to extremes, or even if it is trivial and it's part of his book wonder.
Its something that appeals to me as someone who wrote the play for most of my life and dealing with conflict on the stage constantly, sometimes seriously, sometimes comically, with the knowledge that any dramatic incident I ever wrote about, whether its serious or comic can also be acted as the second. serious may be operated as a comedy, and vice versa, Lewis Carroll was I fully aware that switch.

It is clear, especially for children reading the story, the conflicts are going silly. This may be a good prospect for them in terms of understanding what happens in life and good prospects for us too! And of course children's lives are completely immersed in conflict with the time they open their eyes in the morning until the moment when they are shut at night. There is no point of disagreement with their owners. From the moment they do not want to drink milk or go to school or want to go feet first down the stairs instead of head first, no matter - they are in conflict with adults.
And it must do the world, it seems crazy for them, because it is fully implemented in the conflict. Maybe it was a conflict of silly just to be able to withstand. So, they see signs of wear on both logic and stupidity, and I see too much playfulness that, despite the drama and anguish portrayed.
It is perhaps in order to overcome conflicts in their lives, the sense of separateness, and fullness. conflict does not take away from us, we remain in our power, we are not fooled, and that's not always true for everyone.
We could learn from being innocent, as a beginner, a child learns and grows through conflict and other experiences and when we stop doing this and that into account as a nuisance, we can stop being a child and stop learning and growing.
