Looking-Glass: Queen Alice
This story is part of the Looking-Glass unit. Story source: Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll (1871).
- Alice is now a queen
- She walked around rather stiffly to get use to the crown, she was afraid it would fall off
- The White Queen and The Red Queen sat on either sides of Alice
- She was very curious to how they came to be queens, but knew that wouldn't be a civil conversation
- Alice isn't as intimidated as I would assume she would be with the queens
- She speaks out of turn and then The Red Queen yells at her, but she doesn't let that stop from her from being heard
- She is stuck in an impossible situation
- The Queens invite each other to Alice's party
- Alice doesn't know she's having a party in the first place
- The Queens go on asking impossible and difficult questions
- For instance, "what's one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one"
- They go on to talk about the differences in wonderland and where Alice is from
- In wonderland they talk about days in sets, like the last sets of tuesdays' weather has been bad
- Whereas Alice takes a day at a time
- Alice's time with the Queens is full of riddles and quizzes and lessons
