I originally wanted to do something to do with 1984 - George Orwell for my dissertation but changed my mind and thought of the idea of comparing Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum. I was wondering if these texts were suitable and if my topic (the use of characterisation as metaphors?) was okay. I thought I'd compare the scarecrow, tinman, lion, wicked witch to the white rabbit, madhatter, cheshercat, queen of hearts?
