چکیده مقاله
This paper revolves around the discussion of the evolution of digital storytelling through the modernization of the adaptations of Lewis Carroll's works-how technology is altering the way these stories are told or experienced. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass have been transformed for many generations, but digital platforms seem to offer something completely new for interactive, immersive storytelling. This research highlights some of such interactive digital adaptations, including Alice: The Interactive Adventure, which allows readers to choose routes through Wonderland based on their decisions given it's a merge of narrative and gaming mechanics. There are also VR experiences, such as Through the Looking-Glass VR, creating opportunities for users to experience Carroll's surreal worlds by interacting with characters and environments far beyond what traditional texts can offer. The paper discusses, as well, the flourishing tendency toward the marriage of digital media with Carroll, as in films such as Alice in Wonderland (2010), featuring high-end CGI and live-action interpretations of the same old narrative in superlatively beautiful vistas. Last, but not least, the treatment includes AI-generated versions of Carroll's stories, in which readers can engage with customized narratives, meeting new characters or alternative plot twists. Through such very modern adaptations, the paper shows how a coming together of technological innovation and cultural changing interests can create new avenues for engaging with old English literature, all the while increasing audience participation in a digital age.
