The Story of 'Through the Looking-Glass' is set some six months later than the one of 'Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland'. Again the curious little girl enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror. The book includes such well-known verses as „Jabberwocky“ or „The Walrus and the.
Alice sits in her armchair at home, drowsily watchingher pet kitten, Kitty, as she unravels a ball of string. She snatchesKitty up and begins telling her about “Looking-Glass House,” animaginary world on the other side of the mirror where everythingis backward. Alice suddenly finds herself on the mantelpiece andsteps through the mirror into Looking-Glass House. On the otherside of the mirror, Alice discovers a room similar to her own butwith several strange differences. The chessmen stand in the fireplacein pairs, oblivious to Alice’s presence. She comes to the aid ofthe White Queen’s daughter, Lily, but realizes that the chess piecescannot see her. Alice becomes distracted by a book on the shelf,in which she reads a nonsensical poem entitled “Jabberwocky.” Frustratedby the strange poem, she sets off to explore the rest of the house.
Alice leaves the house and spots a beautiful garden inthe distance, but every time she tries to follow the path to thegarden she finds herself back at the door to the house. Confused,she wonders aloud how to get to the garden, and to her surprisea Tiger-lily responds. Other flowers join in the conversation, andseveral of them start to insult Alice. Alice learns from the flowersthat the Red Queen is nearby, and Alice sets off to meet her. Alicemeets the Red Queen, and the two engage in conversation, but theRed Queen constantly corrects Alice’s etiquette. Alice looks outover a field, sees a great game of chess in progress, and tellsthe Red Queen that she would like to join. The Red Queen tells Aliceshe can stand in as a White Pawn and marks a course for Alice, explainingthat when she reaches the end of the game, Alice will become a Queen.
Alice inexplicably finds herself on a train with a Goat,a Beetle, and a man dressed in white paper. They each nag Aliceuntil the train eventually lurches to a halt. Alice finds herselfin a forest, conversing with a chicken sized Gnat, who tells herabout the different insects of Looking-Glass World. After learningthe names of the insects, Alice sets off again and discovers thatshe has forgotten the names of things, even her own name. She comesacross a Fawn, who has also forgotten the names of things, and thetwo press on through the forest.
When Alice and the Fawn emerge from the forest, theirmemories of names come back, and the Fawn runs away in fear of Alice.Alice soldiers on alone until she meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee,an identical pair of heavyset men. The twins ignore Alice’s repeated requestsfor directions and recite a poem instead. Tweedledum and Tweedledeenotice the Red King sleeping nearby and explain to Alice that sheexists only as a figment of the Red King’s dream. Upset at first,Alice decides that the two of them speak nonsense. A fight spontaneouslyerupts between Tweedledum and Tweedledee over a broken rattle. Agiant crow swoops down and interrupts the fight, sending Tweedledumand Tweedledee running.
Alice slips away and encounters the White Queen, who explains thattime moves backward in Looking-Glass World. As they speak, the WhiteQueen plasters her finger, then screams in pain, and finally pricksher finger on a brooch. After explaining to Alice that she used topractice the impossible daily, she transforms into a sheep in a shop.The Sheep asks a disoriented Alice what she would like to buy. Thoughthe shop is full of curious things, Alice finds that she cannot fixher eye on any one thing. The Sheep asks Alice if she knows how torow. Before she knows it, Alice finds herself in a boat with the Sheep,rowing down a stream. The boat crashes into something and sendsAlice tumbling to the ground. When she stands she finds herselfback in the shop. She purchases an egg from the Sheep, who placesthe egg on a shelf. Alice reaches for the egg and finds herself backin the forest, where the egg has transformed into Humpty Dumpty.
Humpty Dumpty sits on a wall and criticizes Alice forhaving a name that doesn’t mean anything, explaining that all namesshould mean something. Humpty Dumpty treats Alice rudely, boastingthat he can change the meanings of words at will. When Alice learnsthis, she asks Humpty Dumpty to explain the words of the nonsense poem“Jabberwocky” to her. He defines the words of the first stanza andthen recites a portion of his own poem. He abruptly bids her goodbye,and Alice storms off, annoyed. All of a sudden, a loud crash shakesthe forest and she watches soldiers and horsemen run by.
Alice comes across the White King, who explains to herthat he has sent all of his horses and men, presumably to put theshattered Humpty Dumpty back together again. The King’s messenger Haighaapproaches and informs them that the Lion and the Unicorn are doingbattle in the town. Alice sets off with her new companions towardthe town to watch the battle. They catch up with another of theKing’s messengers, Hatta, who explains the events of the fight thusfar. The Lion and Unicorn stop battling and the White King callsfor refreshments to be served. The White King tells Alice to cut thecake, but she finds that every time she slices the cake the pieces fuseback together. The Unicorn instructs Alice that Looking-glass cakesmust be passed around first before they are sliced. Alice distributesthe cake, but before they begin eating, a great noise interrupts,and when Alice looks up, she finds herself alone again.
The Red Knight gallops up to Alice and takes her as aprisoner. The White Knight arrives at Alice’s side and vanquishesthe Red Knight. Alice and the White Knight walk and talk together,and Alice finds a friend in the eccentric chessman. He promisesto bring her safely to the last square where she will become a queen.As they walk, he tells her about all of his inventions before sendingher off with a song. She crosses the final brook and finds herselfsitting on the bank with a crown on her head.
Alice finds herself in the company of the Red Queen andthe White Queen, who question her relentlessly before falling asleepin her lap. The sound of their snoring resembles music. The soundis so distracting that Alice doesn’t notice when the two queensdisappear. Alice discovers a castle with a huge door marked “QUEEN ALICE.”Alice goes through the door and finds a huge banquet in her honor.She sits and begins eating, but the party quickly devolves intototal chaos. Overwhelmed, Alice pulls away the tablecloth and grabsthe Red Queen.
Alice wakes up from her dream to find herself holdingKitty. She wonders aloud whether or not her adventures where herown dream or the dream of the Red King.
