Sylvie and Bruno

Main Ideas

• Interweaving of real and fantastical worlds: the story unfolds simultaneously in two realms — the real and the magical, allowing exploration of the boundaries between fantasy and reality.
• Theme of love and friendship: the relationships between characters, especially between Sylvie and Bruno, highlight the importance of love, friendship, and mutual support.
• Social satire: the book contains elements of satire, critiquing various aspects of Victorian society, including politics, education, and social norms.
• Philosophical reflections: through dialogues and events, the author raises questions about the nature of time, reality, and human consciousness.
• Humor and wordplay: as in Carroll's other works, the book is rich with humor, puns, and linguistic games, adding lightness and engagement to the narrative.
