MadHatter

“Tim Burton’s rendition of Alice In Wonderland held my attention today and The Mad Hatter stood out. IMO, Wonderland is about psychosis and most of its characters represent a different mEnTaL diSOrDeR. Hatter’s intentional inability to focus suggests he’d be misdiagnosed with ADHD…if he was in the ‘real’ world. But the attention to detail required in his chosen profession, makes it obvious that he just picks and chooses when he follows man made rules. Before rewatching it, I fell for Hatter’s rebellious spirit. This time…I fell in love with how protective he is of Alice. That protection allowed her to see through all his madness…so he could help her remember who she is…and fulfill her prophecy.”
