Title: Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There By Lewis Carroll, Author of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. Upon waking, Alice is delighted by her dream and attempts to figure out if the dream was hers, or if she was a character in the Red King's dream.Author: CARROLL, Lewis.

She also wants to make sense of what's happening around her, something that she finds extremely difficult-even when she tries to answer riddles, she often answers incorrectly or is teased, and if she starts an argument she inevitably loses. Alice is very adaptable, but she's often unsuccessful in interpreting what she's supposed to do. In addition, Alice wants to be polite and so tries her best to comply with the rules that different characters give her. This represents Alice's desire to grow up and become an adult, something that shows up as other characters, especially Humpty Dumpty and the Red Queen, pick at Alice's manners and etiquette. Alice's goal as she travels through Looking-glass World is to transform from a pawn into a queen once she reaches the Eighth Square. Through all of this, Alice comes to the conclusion that she likes her name, that it's important to her in most cases, and that having a name is also helpful to others who wish to identify her. Many of the beings she meets along her journey ask her questions about her name, who she is, and what would happen if she didn't have a name. She's also extremely concerned with figuring out who she is. Loneliness and sadness plague her often, especially when individuals she likes and admires, like the Fawn, abandon her suddenly. She travels through this strange Looking-glass Word, and because this is a dream, it reflects Alice's thoughts and anxieties about her real world. She has an expansive imagination, her favorite phrase being 'let's pretend.' This leads Alice to fall asleep one November day and dream that she climbs through a looking-glass and into Looking-glass House and the world beyond, where a giant chess game is taking place. Alice is a happy child, if a lonely one the novel opens with her talking to her cats, Dinah, Snowdrop, and Kitty, and she's the only human who appears in the novel. The seven-and-a-half-year-old protagonist.
