Alice’s assertion that “something interesting is sure to happen” when she eats or drinks captures how Wonderland has trained her to treat consumption as a lever for change. After the hall-of-doors episode, where “DRINK ME” and cake altered her size, she generalizes from experience and turns curiosity into quasi-experiment: ingest, observe, infer. The line is both pragmatic and comic: pragmatic because Alice is learning to predict Wonderland’s mechanisms; comic because the cause-effect is absurdly tied to snacks rather than reason or keys. The missing “DRINK ME” label matters—she acts without external instruction, relying on her own pattern recognition. Yet her inference is only partially reliable; the bottle works, but too well, trapping her inside the Rabbit’s house. The quote therefore marks a shift from passive marveling to active trial-and-error, while exposing the risks of hasty induction. In Wonderland, knowledge arrives through bodily trial, not moral maxims or schoolroom recitations. Alice’s body becomes the instrument of inquiry, and “interesting” slyly replaces “safe” or “useful,” signaling a child’s adventurous valuation that privileges experience over caution.
