Alice in Wonderland
In the final scene of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice rebels against the Queen and it is noted that “she had grown to her full size.” Alice’s size changes many times throughout the story. What do you think her change in size symbolizes?

Great question!
Considering her final change in size in relation to its location in the text/narrative structure might suggest something about the resolution of the tale. What can altered height affect?
Is it simply a plot device? Is it symbolic?
Can we also look to her size changes for their greater significance in other scenes?
If so, which moments?

I think the changes in her size throughout the story signifies the different stages of life she is going throug, like puberty. And also her mood probally plays a role because due to the changes that occurs to her body she is sad and frustrates and also discomfort.

I believe that the final growth scene in the last chapter represents the fact that things (nonsense) begin to make sense in wonderland, because just before Alice grows to her full size, in the court when Alice says she knows nothing about the stolen tarts, the king says this is a situation that should be treated with great importance, then the white rabbit corrects the king saying that he in reality meant an “unimportant” situation. I think that this incidence is a foreshadowing that things will go back to be normal and logical for Alice, which they do when Alice wakes up from a long dream.
