Alice and,
the rare rabbit down,
the hole we go
Exposition of the Story
The story ‘Down the Rabbit – Hole,’ an excerpt from the book ‘Alice in Wonderland’, is primarily a children’s fiction story that seeks to entertain the reader. The author tells the story in the third person, in reference to how Alice travels in her dream while voicing her feelings and thoughts. Alice sits near her sister while in a daze then spots a rabbit dressed up in white and decides to follow the rabbit but then falls into the hole. The tone is straightforward and avuncular since the target audience is children and anybody else who would be interested. The chief protagonist is Alice, whom the author explains her journey throughout the story. The major conflict, as presented by the story, is that Alice tries to understand the puzzle of wonderland, and she experiences substantial personal transitions while engrained in Wonderland.
Rising Action
The rising action is when Alice follows the rabbit with the pocket watch down the hole and follows him throughout the entire Wonderland. Alice finds a door that leads to a garden and drinks the contents of a bottled with the inscriptions “Drink Me” so she could be able to pass through the door by drinking. Alice is worried over how she would get out of the Wonderland and does everything that she thinks would help her out of the peculiar place. When she realizes that she has forgotten the key, she sits down and starts crying.
Climax
The climax of this excerpt is when Alice comes across a glass box that was below the table and find a cake in it; described with the words” EAT ME.” Alice decides to eat the cake with the notion that if it would make her grow large, she could have access to the key and if it would make her smaller, she would go under the door. Both ideas would be substantial to her as they would enable her to get through the garden; since that is all that she cared for. Alice exclaims that she could, either way, get into the garden, and she did not care about the consequences of her actions.
Falling Action
Alice realizes that she is unable to grow even after eating the cake. She bites a little bit and becomes worried over which way she will grow while putting her hand over her head. Alice becomes quite astounded that she is still of the same height. In real sense, this is the usual thing that happens when one eats something. However, Alice had gotten used to strange things happening, and it seemed dull for her that life would be such colloquial. All in all, she decides to settle, and finish the cake, for there was nothing more she could do.
Denouement
The denouement in this excerpt occurs when Alice works her through the cake by eating the whole of it, despite the opposite of what she expected happening. The author showcases that Alice was used to extraordinary things happening, and it was quite overcast that she would have to remain the same after eating the cake. Alice had experienced astounding activities in wonderland, and she expected things to happen out of their way. All in all, she resolves to take things as they are and eating the cake, even when the changes she expected, failed to happen.
