Lewis Carroll seems implicitly to criticise Victorian attitudes towards race, gender, and class throughout Through the Looking Glass. For example, he both created all of WonderlandÕs characters with a degree of equality and then demonstrates the absurdity of stereotyping in AliceÕs trek through the "wood where things have no names" when Alice and the fawn "walked on together through the wood, Alice with her arms wrapped lovingly round the soft neck of the Fawn, till they came out into another open field, and here the Fawn gave a sudden bound into the air, and shook itself free from AliceÕs arm. ÒIÕm a Fawn!Ó it cried out in a voice of delight. ÒAnd, dear me! youÕre a human child!Ó A sudden look of alarm came into its beautiful brown eyes, and in another moment it had darted away at full speed (Chapter 3). While in the forest, they are blind to names and can find comfort in each other. As soon as Alice and the Fawn leave the forest, however, the Fawn recognizes Alice for what she is -- a human child -- and it scurries away in fear. Carroll makes his point that, as in Victorian England, distinctions were drawn not upon knowledge, but upon ignorance and a label.
