the worst thing about 90% of adaptations of alice's adventures in wonderland is that they mistakenly write alice as a mild-mannered everywoman, when part of what makes those books so timeless and treasured is that alice is able to tell when adults around her are full of shit and is nearly always able and willing to articulate that frustration. she is proud and headstrong and contrary and, yes, polite--but not at all his meek wishy-washy wisp of a girl that adaptations love to turn her into!
