Not every book has A Deeper Meaning™️ sitting behind the text—this is a simplification employed by high school English classes to make literary analysis easier. Some books (IMO the best books) have no one meaning, and instead allow the reader to freely interpret the story as they wish, and therefore gain/take away different things.
Alice is one of my favorite books—what I took away from it is a sentiment about storytelling and childhood. Another person could read it and find something completely different.
