With the help of a fawn who has also forgotten his identity, she makes it to the other side, where they both remember everything. There she forgets all nouns, including her own name. Alice continues her journey and along the way, crosses the "wood where things have no names". She arrives in a forest where a depressed gnat teaches her about the looking glass insects, strange creatures part bug part object (e.g., bread and butterfly, rocking horse fly), before flying away sadly.
Alice is placed in the second rank as one of the White Queen's pawns, and begins her journey across the chessboard by boarding a train that jumps over the third row and directly into the fourth rank, thus acting on the rule that pawns can advance two spaces on their first move. Elsewhere in the garden, Alice meets the Red Queen, who is now human-sized, and who impresses Alice with her ability to run at breathtaking speeds.Ĭhapter Three – Looking-Glass Insects: The Red Queen reveals to Alice that the entire countryside is laid out in squares, like a gigantic chessboard, and offers to make Alice a queen if she can move all the way to the eighth rank/row in a chess match. She also observes that the chess pieces have come to life, though they remain small enough for her to pick up.Ĭhapter Two – The Garden of Live Flowers: Upon leaving the house (where it had been a cold, snowy night), she enters a sunny spring garden where the flowers can speak they perceive Alice as being a "flower that can move about". In this reflected version of her own house, she finds a book with looking-glass poetry, " Jabberwocky", whose reversed printing she can read only by holding it up to the mirror. Climbing up onto the fireplace mantel, she pokes at the wall-hung mirror behind the fireplace and discovers, to her surprise, that she is able to step through it to an alternative world.
It was the first of the "Alice" stories to gain widespread popularity, and prompted a newfound appreciation for its predecessor when it was published. The mirror above the fireplace that is displayed at Hetton Lawn in Charlton Kings, Gloucestershire (a house that was owned by Alice Liddell's grandparents, and was regularly visited by Alice and Lewis Carroll) resembles the one drawn by John Tenniel and is cited as a possible inspiration for Carroll. Through the Looking-Glass includes such verses as " Jabberwocky" and " The Walrus and the Carpenter", and the episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee. There she finds that, just like a reflection, everything is reversed, including logic (for example, running helps one remain stationary, walking away from something brings one towards it, chessmen are alive, nursery rhyme characters exist, and so on). Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it.
