When Sir Thomas Moore first used the term utopia
to describe an imaginary island, little did he
know it would turn into a literary genre. The term
comes from two Greek terms, eu-topos, meaning the
good place and uo-topos, meaning no place. In The
Handmaids Tale, Margaret Atwood wishes to give a
portrayal of a future dystopia, ridiculing the
utopian customs. Wishing to turn the utopian dream
into a nightmare, authors with Atwood's similar
ideas, have focused on the negative aspects in
longing for...

actions against the people which betrayed her. The
cruel betray which Medea endures can be

Alice Adventures In Wonderland Hallucinogenic Drugs

hallucinogenic drugs influenced Lewis Carroll's
novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. However,
upon closer observation, the story more closely
resembles the experiences people have while
dreaming, rather than while under the influence of
drugs. There are numerous examples throughout the
novel which support the idea that it is based on
dreamlike experiences. The first example of how
the story relates to dreams is in the beginning as
