KEY FACTS

4. CHARACTER ANALYSIS
ALICE: The protagonist of the
story. Her adventures begin with her
fateful jump down the rabbit hole.
Alice believes that the world is
orderly and stable, and she has an
insatiable curiosity about her
surroundings. Wonderland
challenges and frustrates her
perceptions of the world.

5. Queen of Hearts The character
that Alice must inevitably face to figure out the
puzzle of Wonderland. In a sense, the Queen
of Hearts is literally the heart of Alice’s conflict.
In Wonderland, she is a singular force of fear
who even dominates the King of Hearts. In the
Queen’s presence, Alice finally gets a taste of
true fear, even though she understands that the
Queen of Hearts is merely a playing card. The
Gryphon later informs Alice that the Queen
never actually executes anyone she sentences
to death, which reinforces the fact that the
Queen of Hearts’s power lies in her rhetoric.

6. The King of Hearts: The
co-ruler of wonderland. The king is ineffectual
and generally unlikeable, but lacks the
Queens ruthlessness and undoes her orders
of execution. He cannot say anything clever.

while swimming in the pool of tears. He hates
cats and dogs and he begin to tell Alice a
disturbing story about being put on trail. He is
very sensitive.

aggressive. He wears a waist-coat, and

8. Cheshire Cat: A perpetually
grinning cat who can make any and
all parts of his body disappear and
reappear. The Cheshire cat a
detached clearheaded logic and
explains Wonderland's madness to
Alice.

Queen): The red Queens cousin.

at first but later treats her so
affectionately that her advances feel
threatening. Then she starts to be
friend with Alice.

creature. The Caterpillar sits on a
mushroom, smokes a hookah and
treats Alice with contempt. He directs
Alice to the magic mushroom that
allows her to shrink and grow.
