The Looking Glass Wars Character Analysis

In The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor the story of Alice in Wonderland is told from the opposite viewpoint. In this story Alyss Heart is the princess of Wonderland, and not a little girl from London. Alyss is forced to leave her homeland when both of her parents are killed by her evil Aunt Redd. When Alyss finds herself alone in England and must find her way back to Wonderland to defeat her evil Aunt. By switching storylines, Beddor shows significant themes that are developed throughout the story. For example, the theme violence or vengeance is show at times such as Redd and Genevieve, Dodge , and when Alyss faces her evil Aunt Redd.

Pursuing this further, as Alyss transforms into the Queen of Wonderland she leads the Alyssians into battle to defeat Redd and reclaims her kingdom. The reader reads “the most powerful queen ever to lead Wonderland” (Beddor 358). When Alyss battles Redd, her imagination and confidence help her defeat Redd. Alyss is powerful with her imagination when she releases a bolt of energy from her finger and grabs Redd then swings her across the ballroom walls. Now that Alyss is the rightful Queen of Wonderland, she has fulfilled the hopes of the Wonderlanders

After being transported through the Pool of Tears into the new world, Alyss is forced to change, and she becomes an anxious, unhygienic, and troubled young adult. After emerging through a puddle in the middle of a parade for the Queen of England, our hero encounters Quiggly Gaffer and his fellow orphan companions. The narrator entails about Alyss’

Alyss when she was young loved her home in Wonderland but had to grow up in a whole other world. She would always think her imagination would get the best of her but that fantasy never left as she grew and became who she really was. In The Looking Glass Wars, Frank Beddor uses conflict to transform Alyss from a mischievous, endearing, and naive girl to a fond of, praised, and comfortable young woman so that she can defeat Redd and take back the Heart Queendom.

The Looking Glass Wars wrote by Frank Beddor is a rewritten version of Alice in Wonderland where Alyss, the princess of Wonderland, is forced to leave her beloved home because of her Aunt Redd that has overpowered the Queendom. Alyss finds herself all alone in an unknown place that does not believe in Wonderland. She returns to Wonderland to fight Redd for the Queendom.

A caterpillar that smokes from pipes and eats tarty-tarts is only the beginning of Frank Beddor’s first book in his trilogy The Looking Glass Wars. Many of us are familiar with the infamous fairy tale of Alice who stumbles upon a hole that leads her to Wonderland and meets strange characters like the Cheshire Cat and others. Now there are many differences in Beddor’s tale; not only is the Cat an assassin with nine lives but Alice-the character we grew up knowing-has a different name, Alyss Heart. She is a young girl whose kingdom of Wonderland is taken over by her blood thirsty and cruel Aunt Redd, who is truly the incarnation of evil. This book is one with many

The fight for justice is not always unequivocal or favorable, sometimes justice is given by means that do not seem fair at all. William Styron says in a novel that life “is a search for justice.” It is blatant that throughout Khaled Hosseini's novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, female characters are continuously battered with injustices. Hosseini hones into the oppression of women and the fight for women empowerment through the life of one of his main characters, Mariam. Her journey is shown throughout the novel where she struggles to search for and understand justice.

At the mention of the name Alice, one tends to usually think of the children’s stories by Lewis Carroll. Namely, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are two classic works of children’s literature that for over a century have been read by children and adults alike. These two stories tell the tale of a young girl named Alice who finds herself in peculiar surroundings, where she encounters many different and unusual characters. Although Alice is at the centre of both stories, each tale is uniquely different in its purpose, characters and style.

Queen Genevieve sacrifices herself and her daughter, which then leads to the good of the queendom when Alyss returns. Hatter takes up 13 years of his life looking for Alyss all over the world so that she could return to Wonderland safely and become the rightful warrior queen. Towards the end of the novel Alyss makes sacrifices by forgetting her old self in England, and realizing her true destiny in which to become queen. The theme of making sacrifices for the good of others shows the reader that anybody can help another person, but it takes a true hero to sacrifice his/herself selflessly for the good of

Hatter lead Alyss into the Pool of Tears but they got separated. When Alyss went to Britain, Hatter ended up in Paris. Never giving up, Hatter continued to look for Alyss even if it meant to give up his life. “‘It makes no difference if I’m alive or dead except as it concerns the princess.”(185). Hatter finally found a book about Wonderland tracked the author, and found Alyss. Jumping back through the same puddle, they emerged in Wonderland. While Hatter was very confident and had faith that Alyss could lead them others were not, “‘But can she lead us?’”(221). Doing whatever it takes, Hatter Madigan and Alyss finally trust a girl they don’t know in order to defeat Redd and take back

In 1862, floating upon the river Isis, Charles Dodgson narrated for Alice Liddell and a few others in company his original tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Gliding along underneath the blue sky, Dodgson wove his words into one of the most classic children stories of all time. Thesis: Although Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland may have only begun as a children’s story, many adults have sought to discover the “true meaning” of the novel. Curiosity has led to years of searching and interpretation of the origins of Carroll’s novels, and the symbols inside, developing into theories ranging from practical to nearly impossible, eventually evolving into their own stories in the film industry.

There are many different issues in society today. Some have a huge impact on Americans and others don’t. In the memoir The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, we learn that not everyone’s life is perfect. Jeannette’s childhood was not the best, she suffered many hardships but, was too young and innocent to realize her situation. Some of the hardships she faced are alcoholism, poverty, and hunger; these issues are still relevant in society today.

In the novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the main character, Alice, undergoes quite a change. During the time the novel was published, parts of the world were in the victorian era. The Queen at the time was Queen Victoria, in which the era was named after. During this era, knowledge, class and reason were greatly valued, and stressed. This time period ended in the year of Queen Victoria’s death. Throughout the novel, there are many ways that show how Alice begins to understand the world in adult terms, matures, and grows.

The most memorable character in the book "The chocolate War" was Jerry Renault in my view because he was a very influential character and stood up for what he believed in.

“Dreams feel real while we’re in them. It’s only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange. -Inception” (50 Dream Quotes). Carroll writes Through the Looking Glass based off of the dream concept. This novel is strange compared to most because of the dream Alice has. In the beginning, Alice is playing with her kittens. As she drifts off to sleep, Alice goes through the mirror and enters Looking Glass World. While there, Alice joins a chess game as a pawn. She continues across the board and meets all sorts of characters who help Alice in her journey to become Queen. She meets the Red Queen, White Queen, Humpty Dumpty, and White Knight in different squares throughout the game. When she reaches the honor of Queen, Alice is
