NOTE:
This is absolutely NOT me dissing Alice in any way. I love the old classic, and I love the new movie. Their both excellent, but I've noticed many people don't know the real meaning.
(Or an extremely probable one, that makes a lot of sense)
The true meaning behind Alice... Let's begin with the characters..
The Constantly Smoking Caterpillar: You know, smoking isn't a great habit.. specially not that much... not even for something blue.
The Mad Hatter: Please don't tell me you think he was born that way.. Something had to have been ... done ... to make him that way. Walking all over the 'dinner' table? Seriously.
(Characters will be continuing further soon...)
Basically, the movie was made about different drugs, and no, not promoting them. Showing you, or anyone else, just how mad one can become from drugs, and how bad of an idea they are.
My opinion there IS no real meaning. People say he did drugs and wrote it . Others say Alice L. came up with the stories. No one seems to be able to get their story right.
I think AIW was simply created to be created. No special meaning behind it. It was just created to be enjoyed by many.
The madd hatter, the charter comes from the saying mad as a hatter which originated because of the hat-makers suffering from Korsakoff's syndrome due to handling mercury-contaminated felt. causing them to go well madd.. (get it)
Oh my word, I had my whole class talking about this very thing!!!
I love how the white rabbit is coke, so its funny when alice chases the rabbit, like a user trying to get a new fix....
Well, he was on drugs most of the time while writing Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice found there.
Alice was actually a little girl that he had met and was inspired by her. When people had found this out, he was accused of being a Child Molester, but I think otherwise.
The Blue Caterpillar smoked out of a hooka, I believe. The point of that is that he was smoking. The Mad Hatter, on the other hand, inhaled mercury, making him go crazy. Mercury was used to stiffen hats, especially gentleman's hats.
Lewis Carol was not on drugs when he wrote this story. To create very intricate logical puzzles, and imagine a world and characters like that, he couldn't have been using drugs. His characters are not based on different types of drugs either. They're based on people in his life.

In my "modern folklord" class, they said that they were based on ppl he knew, but they were all addicts. And his only tried bud.....
How the hell do they learn that stuff???
Lewis Carroll was not on drugs. He was however, a *****. He wrote the books to impress the little girl Alice Liddell. This is a proven fact, it's been published in various literature collections.
Carroll, also-known-as Charles Dodgson was not a *****, though he did love Alice Liddell, but the allegations that he was sexually attracted to her are unkind and false. If he had, it would have shown up somewhere in the Alice books as she inspired the protagonist; however, Alice Liddell is supposed to have had romantic feelings for Charles Dodgson, but this is all just a rumor.
