Abstract
The 64-grid square design of a chess board maintains a pivotal role throughout the fantasy fiction of Lewis Carroll. Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There discusses the dream of Alice who had to take the title role of a pawn as a challenge to become a queen towards the end of the journey. This research paper examines the resemblance of Alice’s character to a pawn which might have led the author to select her to be a pawn rather than other pieces in a game of chess. The idea behind the journey of Alice from a pawn to a queen denotes several meanings in relation to the reality and eight basic emotions of life. The position, track of movement and actions assigned to a pawn can be associated with the characteristics expressed by the character of Alice.
