Abstract

The narrative with little Alice as the main character, created by Lewis Carroll at the end of the 19th century, continues to occupy a prominent place in the collective imagination of people of all age, both for its consolidation as a classic of Children and Young Adults Literature and for the multitude of literary and film rewritings it has given rise to. The aim of this article is to analyse, from a gender perspective, the free literary rewriting and ideological in use, the picture book entitled La esposa del Conejo Blanco, written and illustrated by Gilles Bachelet. The results show the clear intention of the work to denounce and criticise the instance of marriage as a mechanism of subjugation of women, without losing aesthetic and literary quality or originality. In the final conclusion, it is evident that the combination of text and image through different types of interaction and the use of sarcasm, hidden in the words of the protagonist, which gain a new meaning with the accompaniment of the illustration, reinforces the link of the work with the non-child audience, whose problems are exposed and denounced in the album.
