Through the Looking Glass*

5C 1948, Lewis Carroll

Notes

Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In this whimsical tale, Alice steps through a mirror into a fantastical world where everything is reversed, much like a reflection. The novel is structured around a giant chess game in which Alice herself becomes a pawn, moving through various encounters with bizarre characters like the Red Queen, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and Humpty Dumpty. Known for its playful language, absurd logic, and poems like “Jabberwocky,” the book continues Carroll's exploration of imagination and surrealism.
