Is there a point to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?
Answer:
The point of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is to entertain, pure and simple.
The story was conceived for the amusement of some little girls Lewis Carroll knew one sunny afternoon, and subsequently written down because one of the girls asked him to.
In fact, much of the book is an argument against the idea that children's books should have a point, and that there should be room in children's literature for books which exist just for pleasure and entertainment.
(So it could be argued that the point of the book is to demonstrate that books don't have to have a point.)
