---description
|
|
A deep hole under a hedge, leading straight down like a well.
|
|
The fall is impossibly long, giving Alice time to wonder about
|
|
geography, talk to herself about Dinah the cat, and examine
|
|
the curious furnishings along the walls.
|
|
|
|
She falls so slowly (or the hole is so deep) that she has time
|
|
to take a jar labeled "ORANGE MARMALADE" from a shelf, discover
|
|
it empty, and replace it in a cupboard further down.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
---physical_properties
|
|
Defies normal physics. The fall should be fatal but Alice lands
|
|
gently on sticks and dry leaves. The sides are inexplicably
|
|
furnished like a house. The depth is impossible.
|
|
|
|
This is the threshold between normal world and Wonderland -
|
|
logic breaks down in the tunnel itself.

A long, low hall with doors all around. All doors are locked.
|
|
Alice tries every one, walking down one side and up the other
|
|
in sadness and frustration.
|
|
|
|
A three-legged glass table holds a tiny golden key. After much
|
|
searching, Alice finds it unlocks a curtain-concealed door only
|
|
fifteen inches high. Through it, she glimpses the beautiful
|
|
garden she longs to reach.

---description
|
|
The lovely garden Alice glimpses through the tiny door. Filled
|
|
with bright flowers and cool fountains. Represents normalcy
|
|
and beauty in contrast to Wonderland's chaos.
|
|
|
|
Contains the Queen's croquet ground, where the beauty quickly
|
|
gives way to tyranny and absurdity as flamingos serve as
|
|
mallets and hedgehogs as balls.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
---symbolism
|
|
The garden represents Alice's desire for order and sense.
|
|
She spends much of the early story trying to reach it,
|
|
shrinking and growing to fit through the door.
|
|
|
|
When she finally arrives, it's less paradise than she imagined -
|
|
the Queen's mad croquet game and constant execution threats
|
|
make it as chaotic as everywhere else in Wonderland.

---description
|
|
A large table set out under a tree in front of a house. Three
|
|
participants (Hatter, March Hare, Dormouse) crowd into one corner
|
|
despite abundant space.
|
|
|
|
Because Time refuses to move past six o'clock, it's always tea-time.
|
|
They never have time to wash dishes, so they rotate around the
|
|
table to clean seats as the previous ones get dirty.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
---temporal_paradox
|
|
The table exists in a time loop. The same conversations happen
|
|
repeatedly. The same riddles are asked. The same butter is used
|
|
on the same watch.
|
|
|
|
"Suppose we change the subject" is said eternally, but the subject
|
|
never truly changes. The Dormouse tells the same story about the
|
|
treacle well forever.

---description
|
|
The Queen's croquet ground, where the game is pure chaos.
|
|
Live flamingos serve as mallets but twist around to look at
|
|
players. Live hedgehogs serve as balls but unroll and crawl away.
|
|
Soldiers bend to form arches but walk off to other parts of the
|
|
ground.
|
|
|
|
All players play at once without waiting turns, quarreling and
|
|
fighting for hedgehogs. The Queen goes stamping about shouting
|
|
"Off with their heads!" every minute.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
---game_theory
|
|
The game has no rules, or rather, the only rule is that the
|
|
Queen wins. The equipment is deliberately uncooperative. The
|
|
terrain is maximally difficult. Victory is impossible.
|
|
|
|
This is Wonderland's version of sport: a perfectly designed
|
|
system for generating frustration, with arbitrary authority
|
|
(the Queen) as the only arbiter.

The palace of the King and Queen of Hearts. Everything is

|
decorated with hearts. Inhabitants are all playing cards -
|
|
soldiers (clubs), courtiers (diamonds), royalty (hearts).
|
|
|
|
The court system operates on Wonderland logic: sentences are
|
|
pronounced before verdicts, evidence is nonsensical, and the
|
|
Queen shouts for executions regardless of guilt or innocence.

The top of a large mushroom where the Caterpillar sits smoking
|
|
a hookah. About the same height as Alice (when she's normal-sized,
|
|
which is rare).
|
|
|
|
The mushroom has magical properties: one side makes you grow,
|
|
the other makes you shrink. Alice must figure out which is which
|
|
through dangerous experimentation, resulting in her neck growing
|
|
like a serpent at one point.
