This article explores the mythopoetic elements in Lewis Carrolls Alice in Wonderland, highlighting the enduring significance of interpreting its mythological dimensions. The study focuses on the concept of mythopoetics, emphasizing its relevance in the analysis of fairy-tale texts across cultures. Using the mythopoetic method, this research identifies and examines the key mythologemes—death, the garden, and time—that shape the poetics of Alice in Wonderland. The article also delves into the symbolic role of various mythological animals, including the Rabbit, March Hare, Griffin, and Turtle, within the narrative. The findings suggest that Carroll’s work represents a complex symbiosis of mythological elements, offering a rich tapestry of themes and motifs that resonate with both children and adult readers. This study underscores the necessity of further exploring the mythopoetic dimensions of Carroll’s tale, particularly through the lens of linguosemiotics.
