Sylvie and Bruno

Style and Technique

Lewis Carroll's «Sylvie and Bruno» is characterized by a complex structure that combines two parallel plots: one set in the real world and the other in a fantastical one. Carroll employs numerous literary devices such as wordplay, puns, and allusions, which add layers and depth to the text. The language of the work is rich with humor and irony, typical of Carroll's style. The author also actively uses dialogues to reveal character traits and advance the plot. The book contains elements of absurdity and illogicality, creating a unique atmosphere and emphasizing the fantastical nature of the events. The narrative structure includes alternating real and fantastical episodes, allowing the reader to immerse themselves in both worlds and follow the development of events in each.
