The classic book Alice in the Wonderland by Lewis Carroll challenges the structure of the victorian era. The Victorian Era was from 1837 to 1901 made by a  British Queen named Victoria It was a big change in the British history. Where rules were really strict and everything needed to be perfect. In Alice in the Wonderland a Little innocent girl fell into a little rabbit hole . When she woke up she woke up in a time period called the Victorian era. Alice's experience in the Victorian era showed that there were rigid and hard problems that needed to be fixed by.

        Throughout the story Alice encounters a series of setbacks. Some of these setbacks are minor but are also a big problem.  One big problem she had was in the beginning in the story where she couldn't fit inside the door to the garden. In the book she had the feeling like she didn't fit in like everybody else. In the book she struggles to maintain a physical size. She gets upset after she couldn't get the perfect size to get in the garden. Also in the book she gets frustrated because she can't find a logical solutions to her problems. This appears a lot during the story making it a frequent problem.

Further in the book  Alice always seemed to be confused when she enters the victorian era. She feels puzzled,  A quote from the book expresses this. “seem to have no clear solutions, which imitates the ways that life frustrates expectations” its basically saying the setbacks she encounters will make a certain kind of sense in the future and it frustrates her even further when she can't figure out the Wonderland she is in. Further on a different quote that has to do with this is “ As the Queen screams “Off with its head!” she understands that Wonderland may not merely be a ridiculous realm where expectations are repeatedly frustrated”. The Victorian era was a different time period which made things hard to comprehend, rules and stricked laws were in effect

In conclusion problems occur everywhere anytime of your life and sometimes getting a solution may be very hard for some people it reflects a lot of people in life. .
