Which chess piece does Alice start off as in 'Through the Looking Glass'?
White Queen (Through the Looking-Glass) When Alice meets the Red Queen and joins the chess game, she takes the place of a white pawn, Lily being too young to play. She does not meet the White Queen as a human-sized character until the Fifth Square. The White Queen lives backwards in time, due to the fact that she lives through the eponymous looking glass. Her behaviour is odd to Alice. She offers Alice "jam to-morrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day." She screams in pain until, rather than because, she pricks her thumb on her brooch, and tells Alice of the King's messenger
White Knight (Through the Looking-Glass) White Knight (Through the Looking-Glass) The White Knight is a fictional character in Lewis Carroll's book "Through the Looking-Glass". He represents the chess piece of the same name. As imagined in John Tenniel's illustrations for the "Alice" stories he has echoes of John Millais's "Sir Isumbras at the Ford". The White Knight saves Alice from his opponent, the Red Knight. He repeatedly falls off his horse and lands on his head, and tells Alice of his inventions, which consists of things such as a pudding with ingredients like blotting paper, an upside down container, and anklets to guard his horse
