Into the Looking Glass

In 'Through the Looking-Glass', Alice returns to the whimsical world she first encountered in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', this time by stepping through a mirror into a world where everything is reversed or inverted.

She encounters bizarre and illogical situations, engaging in conversations with peculiar characters such as the Red Queen and Humpty Dumpty.

The Red Queen's race, where one must run as fast as possible merely to stay in the same place, serves as a metaphor for the futility of endless effort without progress.

The book is filled with wordplay, satire, and philosophical undertones, often exploring themes of identity, logic, and the nature of reality.

Alice's journey through this looking-glass world leads her to become a queen herself, signifying her growth and maturation.
