Discussion of Blogs posted 9-13, including possible topics: roles of Dream Child ? Alice the Good? Alice the Bad? Alice the Hero? Alice the Conqueror?and this analysis of Carroll's humor:

Carroll is "devastatingly sadistic but in so veiled and hidden a form as to produce tickling sensations rather than clear awareness of attack . . . he furnishes an unconscious outlet through humor for . . . primary destructive pressures without a provocation to action. Readers are charmed and comforted rather than stimulated" (Greenacre 1955, 145, 257).
