Quentin in bad wonderland
I think that the most apt comparison that can be made between Quentin and Alice in Wonderland is the nature of their surroundings. Alice's wonderland is a figment of her imagination which is really composed of moral fables and imagery, which is how Quentin sees the world, reading subtexts about purity and change into his daily life. However, Quentin's worldview is what drives him over the edge, as it is not a wonderland like Alice's but somewhat of his own quiet nightmare.Something else similar between Wonderland and the novel might be the sort of dreamy, detached way in which Quentin confronts his surroundings.
