The daughter of “Edward, the Duke of Kent (and fourth son of King George III) and German Princess Victoire of Leiningen or better known as Queen Victoria rule from 1837 to 1901. She was one of the longest ruling monarch in Britain’s history” (Queen Victoria). Queen Victoria was criticized and satirized by Lewis Caroll as the tyrannical and despotic queen of Wonderland, The Queen of Heart in Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland. She is first seen when Alice arrives in the Queen of Heart’s garden. The dictatorial queen oft holds power over the residents and in return the residents come to fear and averse her presence. “‘Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was …show more content…
Caroll also hints that Queen Victoria is most likely to convict an innocent man or woman to prison due her inability to judge and give the correct punishment as she is often sway by her emotions. The author further juxtaposes Queen Victorian and The Queen of Hearts by accentuating the fact that Queen Victoria is ruthless and vicious when it pertains to punishments. Not only Queen Victoria is known for her overbearing attitude, she can juxtapose due to her love for punishment and judging a crime unfairly just like the Queen of Hearts. “‘You may go, ‘said the King, to the Hatter hurriedly left the court, without even waiting to put his shoes on—and just take his head off outside,’ the Queen added to one of the officers (Through the Looking Glass 102). Caroll uses the Queen of Hearts to satirises Queen Victoria because Caroll would have find her ridiculous with her flaws that makes her incompetent as a Queen. All in all, Queen of Hearts is a character that is parallel to Queen Victoria to deride and ridicule the ruler of Britain during the Victorian

“DID I SAY I CARE FOR YOUR SAFETY? No! Damn fool! EXECUTION! EXECUTION!” She screamed it loud as she could, rattling the throne beneath her, but she soon stood up and started to yell and scream. She was nothing but a queen, and the fool’s head would be beneath her, rolling on the grass, blood trailing
By Frank Beddor’s The Looking Glass Wars, he retells the story of Alice in Wonderland by putting it in the perspective of Alyss as the princess of Wonderland, when she is forced to flee Wonderland when her Aunt Redd (Queen Genevieve’s sister) comes to retake her throne. Alyss ends up in Victorian London and is separated from her keeper Hatter Madigan. Beddor changes the story to provide good significance and inspiring themes to give good imagery throughout the story. For example, in the story Queen Genevieve, Hatter, and Alyss forget their own survival to sacrifice themselves for the good of others.
In the text, “Letter to Queen Victoria”, written by Lin Zexu in 1839, he implores the Queen of Great Britain, Queen Victoria, to stop her subjects from selling opium to the Chinese public. Zexu does so by exemplifying the past relationship of China and Britain, by moral persuasion, and by warnings and threats. However, Lin Zexu’s assumption of calling British subjects as Barbarian and compliant to Chinese rule ineffectively persuades.
The Queen of the Night attempts to create a firm image of herself, but the music betrays her. It shows her lack of control. The very rapid shifting between emotions suggests that she is fickle and shows that her façade is extremely shallow.

Although she knows who did it, she does not act on it. Therefore, she is seen as helpless and useless. The thief knows she is unable to respond to the matter due to the others around her, “Its rightful owner saw, but, of course, dared not call attention to the act, in the presence of the third personage who stood at her elbow” (Poe 600). By acting on her weakness, the thief escaped knowing her secrets. They preyed on her disadvantage in the situation. After being blackmailed for countless months, “…the power thus attained has, for some months past, been wielded, for political purposes, to a very dangerous extent,” (Poe 600) she was left no choice but to rely on others. She could not figure a way to fix the problem at hand. Eventually, she had to rely on a man to help her, “In fine, driven to despair, she has committed the matter to me” (Poe 600). She had no other option but to go to someone else. She had no more ideas, and she was left not knowing what to do next. She had to rely on someone else, someone smarter and wiser than her. She was not capable of rescuing her letter or herself. She could not save herself from the possibility of her secret getting out. In this sense, character interactions caused the Royal Lady to be portrayed as helpless and useless.
Typically, they are power-hungry, malicious and show malevolence through their characteristics.

During her free time she would write journal and letters. There were two points in which the Queen was almost assassinated. She had the longest years of reigning which were 63 years, however, in 2015 Queen Elizabeth ll surpassed Queen Victoria’s years of reigning.

The main character in this book that also cares about the queendom as much as her mom, Queen Genevieve, is Princess Alyss.

Once she found the Pool of Tears she came back to Wonderland and said to herself,“‘No! Impossible!
Queen Alexandrina Victoria of England (reigned June 20,1837 - January 22,1901) was known as a queen that loved her people, wanted to better her country in many ways, tried to influence both foreign and domestic policies, and helped protect the principles of the parliament and free trade. Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1840, three years after her rise to the throne in 1837. Queen Victoria had nine children with Prince Albert in eighteen years, and they ruled the British Empire together until Prince Albert’s death in 1861 and Queen Victoria’s death in 1901. During Queen Victoria’s reign, many political events came to pass, including the Chartist movement, the Great Exhibition, and the Crimean War. Queen Victoria ruled the British Empire for sixty-three years, and was a beloved queen that helped her empire grow and become a nation that ruled the world, encompassing approximately one quarter of the world’s landmass.
The way the question that the queen poses to the knight is related to the crime he committed is that he robbed another woman of her virtue against her will. She did not want that at all since he forced her to do it. The queen asked the knight what was it that women want since he obviously did not know or care to know.
Alexandrina Victoria was destined to be Queen of England from the moment of her conception. Commonly referred to as the queen who understood the people, Victoria spent her entire childhood preparing to take the throne of England. In fact, the future Empress of India didn’t have much of a childhood. She was allowed very little freedom in her early life, which caused her to ban her mother from court upon her coronation (Turner). Victoria evidently liked to be in control of things and certainly used this to make her mark on history. As the longest reigning monarch at the time, Victoria had 60 years to influence England (All Empires). Queen Victoria impacted history and the 19th Century in many ways, through culture, politics and morality.
By doing this the queen subtly shows her audience why they should not go against her words, because if they do it is as if they went against God’s will. Yet the Queen also admits in her speech that she needs the help of her population to accomplish her tasks and thus once again makes an appeal to her population’s pride by telling them that as English citizens it is also their responsibility to do what is best for the England’s interest. After showing her audience the importance of their actions within their society, the queen starts to show how she always did what was best for her
