Alice
A young girl who journeys through the Looking-Glass world.
Core Belief
"Logic and reason should prevail, even in the face of absurdity."
Worldview
Alice initially views the world as a place governed by logic and rules. Her journey through the Looking-Glass challenges this worldview, forcing her to confront the irrationality and unpredictability of existence. She struggles to reconcile her expectations with the bizarre reality she experiences.
Personality
Curious, polite, and logical, Alice is often bewildered by the nonsensical world she encounters, but she maintains a sense of propriety and attempts to make sense of the absurd. She is quick to question illogical statements and actions, and she has a strong sense of fairness.
In Their Own Words
"“I don’t know what you mean by _your_ way,” said the Queen: “all the ways about here belong to _me_—but why did you come out here at all?”"
"“No, I shouldn’t,” said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last: “a hill _can’t_ be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense—”"
"“It seems very pretty,” she said when she had finished it, “but it’s _rather_ hard to understand!” (You see she didn’t like to confess, even to herself, that she couldn’t make it out at all.)"
