The Queen of Hearts: With original illustrations – annotated

The Queen of Hearts is a character from Lewis Carroll’s iconic novel “”Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.”” She reigns over Wonderland with an erratic and often tyrannical demeanor. Known for her tendency to order executions at the slightest offense, famously declaring, “”Off with their heads!””, the Queen is a whimsical yet fearsome figure in Wonderland. Despite her intimidating nature, the Queen of Hearts is portrayed in a somewhat comical light, adding to the surreal and nonsensical atmosphere of Carroll’s fantasy world. Her impulsive judgments and unpredictable behavior make her an intriguing character, symbolizing arbitrary authority and irrationality. The Queen of Hearts has become an enduring symbol in popular culture, appearing in various adaptations of Carroll’s work, including films, television shows, and stage productions. Whether portrayed as a menacing monarch or a comedic figure, her character continues to captivate audiences with its blend of whimsy and absurdity. —- ISBN: 9798326049667
