She's my prisoner, you know! the Red Knight said at last.… I don't know, Alice said doubtfully. I don't want to be anyone's prisoner. I want to be a Queen. -Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass
The quote from the Red Knight, "She's my prisoner, you know!", reveals a possessive attitude towards Alice, who expresses her desire to be a Queen rather than someone's hostage. Alice's uncertainty highlights her independence and aspiration for power, contrasting with the knight's view of her as a possession.
In the context of Holly Madison's book, this exchange may symbolize themes of control, identity, and empowerment. Alice's declaration of wanting to be a Queen reflects a desire for autonomy and greatness, challenging the idea of being confined or controlled by others' expectations or desires.
