Quentin = Alice?

Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland is fantastical. It pushes past reality. It explores places others wouldn't dare to go. It's questioning logic and turning to imagination. It's getting lost in your mind. While - as others have pointed out - Quentin is curious like Alice, his character isn't as bright as hers. Alice's problems are a rabbit and an evil playing card. Quentin's are a slutty sister and a suicidal personality. Quentin is absolutely lost in his mind like Alice is. He sees things differently, like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland does. But. Quentin being lost in his own world is ultimately what causes his downfall; and that's rather haunting.
