This paper discusses Alice in Wonderland as a masterpiece of parody and satire. To the first time reader, exactly what the author is parodying and satirizing may remain unclear, but upon further examination Carroll's satirical intentions begin to emerge. Satire, by definition, is "the use of wit, irony or sarcasm to expose vice or folly". Throughout Alice in Wonderland Carroll uses satire to expose the "vice and folly" of the human condition, and more specifically, the adult human condition. Parody is defined as a "humorous or satirical imitation". It can be argued that Alice is a parody on the experience of growing up.
