The story has continued to delight children ever since the Cheshire Cat has entered the English language as a way of describing someone's smile.
The tale is fraught with satirical allusions to the system of education, the social phenomenon as well as the political environment in the Victorian Period which the author lived in. In that time, many people lose their creation and curiosity when them grow up gradually. They become timid, numb and do not dare to struggle against the ruling class. What’s worse, their thoughts are controlled by the governor, and become the man of vacillation. In the story, not only does the author want to criticize the violent governors, but he is also angry and disappointed at the people, including himself. So Lewis Carroll expects to wake up the oppressed people by this tale.
