摘要

电影《爱丽丝梦游仙境》改编自刘易斯•卡罗尔的《爱丽丝漫游仙境》和续集《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》，讲述了自十三年前爱丽丝梦游仙境之后的故事，爱丽丝再次来到了仙境。本次电影中的两个角色红皇后和白皇后有着鲜明且截然相反的个人特色。他们针锋相对，为了夺取皇权数次摩擦。本文旨在对红皇后与白皇后进行对比研究。通过外表、个性、言行在不经意间的体现可以看出，红皇后代表着真实，白皇后代表着假象。而通过分析他们可以从爱丽丝在不同阶段的态度倾向中看出此阶段的心理倾向，从而更好地理解作品。
在写作过程中，本文运用了举例分析法、对比法和归纳法，通过分析历史时代背景，对红皇后与白皇后在肖像、性格、对白及行为等方面进行比较。同时借助于弗洛伊德的“三步人格结构”心理分析学说将两人对号入座进行分析研究并得出相应结论。
作者希望经过多角度对比阐释两个人物形象，加深对影片的理解，进而对原著重新认识、解读。在研究分析其他文学作品时，能运用这些方法，同时通过影视作品了解新时代赋予经典作品的新意义。此外，在人性方面带给读者一定的启迪。
