the quote

At first I thought that Quentin's Wonderland was his mind for he constantly gets lost in it, but the more I thought about the Alice bit, the more I started to think that perhaps this haunted Wonderland is simply the real world. Quentin dwells on the Old South; that is the world he chooses to live in. But that is not the world he is actually living in. So when reality hits, like Caddy becoming pregnant, he doesn't know how to react. He is lost.
