Alice's Adventures in the Mirror is a literary work written by lewis carroll in 187 1. In the dream, the red queen said to Alice, "You can be a chess piece in front of the white queen. The first step of the chess piece is to walk two squares. Then, you can quickly cross the third square, perhaps by train. In the fourth square, you will meet the twin brothers of Twentien and Tweedie. The fifth grid is mostly water, the sixth grid is short and fat, and the seventh grid is full of forests. This horse will be your guide. " Enter the eighth square and Alice will become the queen.
Chess is really a strange game. In the mirror world, all the chess players argue with you, and you have to run very fast to stay where you are. From then on, Alice walked past a glass mirror like an invisible man. She wandered in the world behind the mirror and met all kinds of incredible people and things. The whole world is like a fable mirror. The chessboard in the mirror is fields, rivers and forests.
The Creative Background of Alice's Adventure in the Mirror
The rise of Victorian fairy tales was completed under the social and historical background of the transformation from British agricultural civilization to industrial civilization. On the one hand, the industrial revolution brought great social changes to British society, on the other hand, it inevitably inspired new social contradictions.
Brian Ortiz, when talking about the influence of the industrial revolution and evolution theory on science fiction, pointed out that "both the industrial revolution and evolution theory have brought remarkable sense of isolation to mankind: the isolation between people, the isolation between people and nature-it appears so frequently as an enemy that must be conquered in science fiction, as if we are no longer a part of the natural world." It is against this background that Carol wrote Alice in the Mirror, which is deeply loved by adults and children.
