Through the Looking Glass (Annotated)

By: Carroll, Lewis

British novelist Lewis Carroll-born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson-published his now-classic children's tale, Through the Looking-Glass, in 1871. It is best known for introducing entities like the Jabberwocky, as well asTweedledum and Tweedledee, into popular knowledge.Its enduring themes include the arbitrary nature of reality, the superiority of childhood imagination, and the logic of irrationality.Six months after the events described in the 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice, a sensitive and intensely curious English girl, looks through a standard, round mirror and is transported to an alternative reality.Through the Looking-Glass has twelve chapters and is told in a third person, omniscient voice. Alice's inner thoughts are often described, and some of the more curious creatures she meets speak in rhyming verse.In the novel's first chapter, Alice sleepily watches a kitten play with a ball of yarn. To entertain herself, she picks the kitten up and tells her about a world where everything is upside down. She calls this the "Looking-Glass House.
