Dinah recognises the power seeking part of her which not one of her predecessors did, which I believe is the reason she is where she is right now. But the part that fascinated me the most was watching her get that rage and ambition of hers under control.
It reminds me that if we saw Wonderland through the eyes of the Queen of Hearts, Alice would only be the smallest speck in what could be a huge story of her own life and what drew her to be who she is.Īs the story progresses all the way from the first book to the last one, Dinah’s character definitely goes through quite the arcs, but through this journey every facet of her being reflects at least one of the main characters we see in the original queen of hearts, her arrogance, the anger, the pride, the self righteousness, all of it plays a huge role in just about everything. While the original by Lewis Carrol focuses on Alice’s journey many forget that Wonderland must have a past that goes way farther back than the glimpse that we see and watching such a retelling of the story of the Queen of Hearts reminds you of that. No matter what happens the fundamental characteristics of the Queen of Hearts are seen throughout the story.
No matter what path this retelling takes, I feel like it maintains the integrity of Alice in Wonderland. I would, personally, recommend reading all the books before making your mind. If Dinah’s character was overly interesting and made sensible decisions it wouldn’t do justice to the original character. It’s supposed to be the story of the Queen of Hearts, not Alice. I know a lot of people have been frustrated by Dinah’s character, that she’s not the smart kind of evil, but I think that’s exactly why this book is so good. I am the Queen of Wonderland and I will have the crown that my brother made for me.” "I am the Queen of Hearts, born to sit on one of two Heart thrones.
