Alice is a fictional character and the titular protagonist of Lewis Carroll’s children’s novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871). A child in the mid-Victorian era, Alice unintentionally goes on an underground adventure after falling down a rabbit hole into Wonderland; in the sequel, she steps through a mirror into an alternative world… Characterized by Carroll as “loving and gentle”, “courteous to all”, “trustful”, and “wildly curious”, Alice has been variously seen as clever, well-mannered, and sceptical of authority, although some commentators find more negative aspects of her personality.
