Lewis Carroll
Quote from Alice in Wonderland that supports Lewis Carroll’s pedophilia?
When I toured the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children they mentioned a quote from Lewis Carroll’s novel, “Alice in Wonderland” that supports the hypothesis that Carroll was a pedophile. I think it has something to do with keeping secrets…
I would find the answer to my question more interesting then defending a man who took pictures of naked children thankyoumam.
Here’s another novel approach Jim G: go fuck yourself if you don’t have an answer to my question!
I have never heard of this interpretation coming from a specific quote in the story, as reading in-context has never given me such an impression. The quote may seem to hint at this when read out-of-context, but unfortunately without some kind of hint or even a few words to work with, I cannot identify the quote you are talking about. If you can recall a few words or explain the subject of the quote somehow, I might be able to find it.
Further, I find it rather offensive that the NCMEC would do such a thing. To the best of my knowledge, modern biographers have more or less completely discredited that Dodgson (Carroll’s real name) was a pedophile. At most, evidence points to him be friends with the children so he could date their governess who was an adult, or at the very worst her older sister who would have been 20 at the time he made an move. Vicitorians were very prudish about dating and so the suppression by his family of his adult relationships seems to have misdirected the modern day public because it makes his relationship with the children stand out in eery relief despite it being a small part of his life.
