Al otro lado del espejo
by Lewis CarrollAl otro lado del espejo Lewis Carroll Ha de entenderse este segundo libro de Alicia como continuación del primero. Si en el primero Alicia toma contacto con el mundo de los adultos, en el segundo ingresa definitivamente en él. A «atravesar el espejo», Alicia está atravesando (aunque sólo fuera en sueños) el umbral de su propia niñez. El mundo que le espera «al otro lado» es, vez, igual y radicalmente distinto al suyo propio. . Se produce a lo largo de toda la narración, una inversión de la realidad. Alicia contempla el mundo de los adultos no como la «realidad» (tal como lo contemplamos nosotros) sino justamente lo contrario, como una inversión de la realidad. Para entender esta «inversión» es preciso echar mano de dos palabras absolutamente definitorias en el idioma inglés. Se trata del common sense y de su opuesto, el nonsense. La sociedad victoriana estaba basada en unas normas de conducta que nacían del sentido pragmático del pueblo inglés, de su common sense. Pero estas normas, vistas a través de los ojos inocentes de una niña, aparecen desprovistas de su sentido común, resultan ser totalmente convencionales y arbitrarias. Del common sense hemos pasado al nonsense.
