Kim, Ki-ae. “Tiny Alice in Worlds within Worlds.” Studies on English Language & Literature. 35.4(2009): 01-16. Tiny Alice is an intriguing play and Albee explains it in various terms including a metaphysical dream play, a morality play, and a mystery play and a double mystery. Using these terms, Albee focuses on the explanation of Julian’s confusion, a lay brother, who has difficulties distinguishing his knowledge of God from what people create as God, as well as reality from illusion. Julian goes through bizarre experiences comparable to those of Alice in Alice in Wonderland, only with religious connotations. He marries Miss Alice, who informs him that she is only a surrogate of Alice, who exists in a doll’s-house model on the stage. As the content of the play is mysterious and mind-boggling, Albee attempts to experiment with the form using props, which have multiple symbolic meaning such as a doll’s-house model, a phrenological head, and cardinals in a birdcage. Besides, Albee applies the double meaning to the dramatic structure, the role-playing of characters, and parody. These dramatic techniques reinforce the theme of reality and illusion, which Albee believes to reflect the relationship between the world and another small world called theatre.
