Me lo estoy pasando en grande con #pinocchio original. No sabía que tenía influencias de #lewiscarroll Este párrafo en el que discuten un cuervo, un ciervo y un grillo sobre si la marioneta está viva o muerta es tronchante al estilo #aliceinwonderland :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping:

@girlbandgeek 's playlist for #KpopTopTen #BestOfKPop2025 included CHAEYOUNG -- SHOOT (Firecracker).
As I watched the MV and saw the incorporation of Alice imagery, I was reminded of the continuing spell cast by those two books of Lewis Carroll.
I must read some of the more recent serious work on the Alice books and their author.

A quotation from Lewis Carroll
“Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied: “and then the different branches of Arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
“I never heard of ‘Uglification,'” Alice ventured to say. “What is it?”
The Gryphon lifted up both its paws in surprise. “Never heard of uglifying!” it exclaimed. “You know what to beautify is, I suppose?”
“Yes,” said Alice, doubtfully: “it means — to — make — anything — prettier.”
“Well then,” the Gryphon went on, “if you don’t know what to uglify is, you are a simpleton.”
Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it, so she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said, “What else had you to learn?”
“Well, there was Mystery,” the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, — “Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling — the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: he taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.”Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) English writer and mathematician [pseud. of Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson]

In "The Hunting of the Snark", Lewis Carroll (Reverend C.L. Dodgson) might have used the "Baker" as a reference to Thomas Cranmer.
In line 241 the Baker says: "You may charge me with murder..." I think that Carroll had mixed feelings about Cranmer.

1864-02-08: To #RichardBethell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Bethell,_1st_Baron_Westbury), the #ThirtyNineArticles were "meagre and disjointed extracts" from #ThomasCranmer's #FortyTwoArticles (https://snrk.de/meagre-and-disjointed-extracts/). #LewisCarroll (the Deacon #Dodgson) objected especially to the 42th article in the Forty-TwoArticles.

My most important Snark finding (#ReligSnark):
In his #illustration (https://snrk.de/snarkhunt/#561) to fit#8 of #LewisCarroll's #tragicomedy "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark" (1876), #HenryHoliday hid a pictorial reference to the print "Faiths Victorie in Romes Crueltie" (published by Thomas Jenner, c. 1630). The attached image shows
(1) the print (containing a depiction of #ThomasCranmer's burning) with a comment from a curator of the #BritishMuseum and
(2) my image comparison. -

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by #LewisCarroll
The World Book Encyclopedia (some early 1970s edition) by various

The last paragraphs of "Life, Eternity,and Everything: Hidden #Eschatology in the Works of Lewis Carroll", pp. 25-41 by Karen Gardiner in "The Carrollian" (http://thecarrollian.org.uk/cgi-bin/abc.pl?TYPE=Author&ID=Gardiner,%20Karen&BACK=B, Issue 31, 2018).
Karen Gardiner's paper is one of the best articles I ever read about #TheHuntingOfTheSnark. Regrettably, https://lewiscarrollsociety.org.uk/ didn't make it available online yet.
