Through the Looking-Glass

Carroll, Lewis, 1832-1898

About this resource

Start with Alice’s conversation with the kittens in Chapter I of Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass. Alice scolds, invents replies and shifts into imagined situations. Her handling of the wool also contributes to the disorder she criticises. Examine how this opening makes play a way of creating rules, then questioning whether those rules are fair or consistent.
