These 3 videos are interpretations of Lewis Carroll's poem How Doth the Little Crocodile (full poem below). The poem is originally from Alice in Wonderland and it glorifies the beauty of the deathly animal. Our videos display a glamous look at death. The two outlying videos are displaying the beautification of the "bait" to gain the interest of the "prey". The murderous elements are displayed by a glint of a knife and a subtle poisoning of a lovely meal. The center video incorporates the actual text of the poem while showing the lips of our "femme fatale". This was our allusion to the Caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland, who originally recited the poem in the novel.
How Doth the Little Crocodile
- How doth the little crocodile
- Improve his shining tail,
- And pour the waters of the Nile
- On every golden scale!
- How cheerfully he seems to grin,
- How neatly spreads his claws,
- And welcomes little fishes in
- With gently smiling jaws!
- Gently Smiling Jaws
