Story
Alice's Inferno is inspired by Alice in Wonderland and Dante's Inferno (Divina Comedia). Alice's Inferno tells the story of Alice, who was admitted in a psychiatric hospital as a teenager after having been accused of killing her parents, which she had no memory of. When she was 16 years old, her boyfriend died in a psychiatric hospital under similar circumstances. Everything pointed to her again and she still didn't remember anything. As a result, she travels to her own hell, which is her subconscious mind.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“I should like to suggest that at least on the face of it a stroke by stroke story of a copulation is exactly as absurd as a chew by chew account of the consumption of a chicken’s wing.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
“The child ... stands upon a place apart, a little spectator of the world, before whom men and women come and go, events fall out, years open their slow story and are noted or let go as his mood chances to serve them. The play touches him not. He but looks on, thinks his own thought, and turns away, not even expecting his cue to enter the plot and speak. He waits,—he knows not for what.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“I know not whether the remark is to our honour or otherwise, that lessons of wisdom have never such power over us, as when they are wrought into the heart, through the ground-work of a story which engages the passions: Is it that we are like iron, and must first be heated before we can be wrought upon?”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
