Sense of Nonsense

Alice and Wonderland is full of nonsense, but it has a strange logic to it. I mean, there is something to be said in the Hatter's remark that saying what you mean is not the same as meaning what you say, just like seeing what you eat is not the same as eating what you see. When you eat, you grow; if you have white flowers but need red ones there's no reason not to paint them; and morals can be found in almost anything (though it may not be worth trying to find them). The puns throughout the book are quite interesting as well. It is as if Carroll was only pointing out what people recognize but are too embarrassed to talk about. People don't mention these sorts of things because they think that others will think them crazy, or silly, or nonsensical. In reality, a little bit of sense can be found in most of the book. Maybe that is what is so entertaining about it. It's like a silly game; you have to make sense out of what is seemingly absolutely insane.
