Victorians regularly prescribed opium to treat infant teething, with deadly results. https://t.co/2KeEs9c1YY #HumanProgressData

John Clay can be seen as a Robin Hood figure too: he will perform a robbery in Scotland one week and raise money to build orphanage the next. #Sherlock #ENGL519

Clotilde is the Victorian angel of the house, with her "soul of delicacy"(110). #ENGL519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

the king does not even consider nmarrying Irene. Very Victorian, rigid class barriers #ENGL519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

amazing the lenths the King goes to to get back the photograph--very illegal and misogynist-- robbing her house, stealing her luggage, and a hold-up of her person#ENGL519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

Another wedding-- Irene and her beau. very victorian novel trope #ENGL519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

Irene Adler is a smart and competent woman. Refreshingly non-victorian. #ENGL519

another reason Doyle might associate criminality and disability: disabled probbaly had more difficulty in finding jobs, made them more vulnerable #engl519

Alice is a pawn in a game of chess--a metaphor for life. Suggests a very powerless existence. #ENGL519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

Such an emphasis on Alice's factual knowledge, instead of being taught critical or logical thinking reminds me of Mr Gradgrind in Hard Times: only facts! #engl519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

For a 7 and 1/2 year old, Alice has lots of facts and rhymes memorized, but this knowledge doesn't help her much in weird looking-glass land #engl519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

The Queen wants to chop everyones heads off. Some critics say Carroll was satirizing Queen Victoria-hmmm? #engl519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

Comic version of Alice in Wonderland #ENGL519

Duchess: "Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it"(79). Carrol's critique of Victorian moralizing? #ENGL519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

The Croquet Queen of hearts is very intimidating and bossy. Everyone stands to lose their heads. Commentary on the monarch's power? #ENGL519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

The characters are a little scary as they try to stuff the doormouse in the teapot. "it’s the stupidest tea-party I ever was at in all my life" (68) #ENGL519

[LenoraErl @Lmerlend]

Nice to see Alice stick up for herself at the tea party. Disorder and rudeness seem to rule in Wonderland. #ENGL519
