Chapter 5: Wool And Water

Alice Through The Looking Glass with 175 readers in aid of Cancer Research UK

Chapter 5 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "Wool and Water." In this chapter, Alice finds herself in a shop where she encounters the White Queen, who is wrapped in a shawl made of living wool. The White Queen engages in a series of nonsensical and impossible actions, such as believing in six impossible things before breakfast, and she shares a bizarre conversation with Alice. The chapter is filled with Carroll's trademark wordplay and absurdity, highlighting the dreamlike and surreal nature of Wonderland.
