I have to write a fractured fairy tale, and I have 2 questions. 1) is Alice in Wonderland a fairy tale? And 2) If I wrote something about Alice who falls asleep in wonderland and is killed and forced to be there forever, does that count as a fractured fairly tale?

I don't think it's considered a fairy tale by itself (it's far too long), but I think your storyline could be considered a fractured fairy tale, yes!

To answer your first question, "Is Alice in Wonderland a fairy tale?" we need to understand what defines a fairy tale. Fairy tales typically involve magical elements, fantastical creatures, and often revolve around moral lessons or themes. While Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, does have fantastical elements and whimsical characters, it is considered a work of children's literature and falls more into the genre of fantasy rather than a traditional fairy tale. So, Alice in Wonderland is not typically classified as a fairy tale.

Now, let's move on to your second question. If you were to write a story about Alice falling asleep in Wonderland and being killed, then forced to remain there forever, it could be considered a fractured fairy tale. Fractured fairy tales take traditional fairy tales and subvert them by introducing unexpected or unconventional elements, altering the plot, or reimagining the characters. In this case, you are taking the character Alice from a non-fairy tale story (Alice in Wonderland) and reimagining her fate in a more macabre way, which aligns with the nature of fractured fairy tales.

Remember, in writing a fractured fairy tale, you can exercise your creativity and imagination to give a unique twist to familiar fairy tale elements.
