The Queen of Hearts is the fictional character of the book Alice Adventure in the Magic State by author Lewis Carroll, where he emerged as the main antagonist. He was a grumpy king who Carroll himself described as "the blind anger", and who quickly gave death sentence with little offense. One of the most famous lines he often mentioned is "Dead with their heads!"
The Queen is referred to as a card of a playing card box by Alice, but somehow she is able to speak and is the master of the land in the story, along with her small husband, the King of the Heart. He is often confused with Red Queen's sequel, Through Looking-Glass, though both are very different.

Ikhtisar
Alice studied three playing cards that painted red and white roses. They fall to the ground face down on the Queen of Hearts approach, which Alice has never met. When the Queen arrives and asks Alice who is lying on the ground (because the backs of all playing cards look the same), Alice tells her that she does not know. The Queen then becomes frustrated and orders that her head be beheaded. She is hindered by her relatively moderate husband by being reminded that Alice is just a child.
In general, however, as Carroll said:
- The Queen only has one way to solve all the difficulties, big or small. "Go with his head!" he said, without looking around.
One of the Queen's hobbies - besides ordering executions - is a croquet; However, it is a Wonderland croquet, where the ball is a living hedgehog and a hammer is a flamingo. It is possible with the intention that the blunt bird's beak should strike, but, as Alice observed, this is complicated by the fact that they keep looking for players - as well as the hedgehog tendency to escape without waiting to be hit. The Queen warriors act as an arch (or circle) on the croquet field, but must leave the arch every time the Queen has the executioner drag his victim, so, at the end of the game in the story, the only remaining players are the Queen himself, King, and Alice.
Despite the frequency of the death penalty, it would appear some people who were totally beheaded, the King of Heart, quietly forgiving many of his people when the Queen did not see (although this did not happen to The Duchess), and he was a mocker but did not execute his orders. The Gryphon told Alice, "It's all her imagination: she never executes anyone, you know." However, all creatures in Wonderland are afraid of the Queen. In the last chapters, the Queen punished Alice again (to defend the Knave of Hearts), and she offered a strange approach to justice: the sentence before the verdict.
Modern depictions in popular culture usually let him play the role of a villain because of the exemplary threat of character, but in the book he does not fulfill that purpose. He was just one of the many obstacles that Alice had to face on the way, but unlike other obstacles, she made a higher potential threat.
Maps Queen of Hearts (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)
Origins
The Queen is trusted by some as the caricature of Queen Victoria, with elements of reality that Dodgson feels rightly will make her instantly recognizable by parents who read stories for children, and also fantastic enough to make her unrecognizable to children. His reference is explicit in the 1966 television version of Jonathan Miller in which he and King of Hearts portrayed without any effort in fantasy, or disguise their true nature or personality.
The Queen can also be a reference to Queen Margaret of the Lancaster House. During the Rose War, red roses are a symbol of Lancaster House. Their rival, House of York, has a white rose for their symbols. The red rose rose gardener's painting may refer to these two houses.
Illustration
Having failed to attempt to describe Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland alone, Lewis Carroll was persuaded to involve a professional artist to illustrate it. He turned to cartoonist John Tenniel, known for his regular contribution to the satirical magazine Punch (published 1841-1992, 1996-2002).
Tenniel's inspiration for the Queen of Hearts is a picture of Elizabeth de Mowbray, the Duchess of Norfolk in one of the medieval stained glass windows of Holy Trinity Church, Long Melford, Suffolk.
Illustrations for the book Alice are engraved on wooden blocks, to be printed in the woodcut process. The original wooden block is now in the collection of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England. They are not usually shown in public, but exhibited in 2003.
Confusion with Red Queen
He is generally mistaken for the Red Queen in the sequel to the story, Through Glass-Charming , but in reality there is no character other than to be queen. Indeed, Carroll, in his lifetime, made the distinction of two Queens by saying:
The 1951 animated film Alice in Wonderland perpetuates the old confusion between the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts. In the film, Queen of Hearts gives some Red Queen statements, the most important is based on "all the ways here are mine". Both characters say this to show the importance and possibilities of arrogance, but in the case of the Red Queen it has a double meaning because its status as a chess queen means that he can move in any direction he wants.
In American McGee's Alice adaptations of the books, the characters are also combined, leading to a more popular misconception.
Adaptions
Disney
In the Disney animated feature of Alice in Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts was the main antagonist that emerged, when Alice put it in temperament, as "a fat old tycoon, arrogant, and bad." The character is voiced by Verna Felton. He is portrayed as an arrogant sadist, who likes to decapitate anyone who only harasses him. Her presence was increasingly culminated by how small her husband the King was (he barely reached his knees). Similar to the book, Alice meets three cards of red roses, because they plant white roses by mistake. When the Queen arrives, she orders the three decapitated cards, then turns her attention to Alice. Refusing to answer his question with the presumption that only he can ask them, he quickly tied him into a croquet game. The game ends with the Queen stumbling herself, due to Cheshire Cat's naughty antics. Queen angrily blames Alice for that, but before she can give orders, the King advises to hold a trial for Alice. The Queen, reluctantly, but enough, agrees. The Queen calls March Hare, The Dormouse, and Mad Hatter to watch, who holds an unbirthday party for her and comforts her away. During the party, the Chesire Cat reappears and annoys the Dormouse. Frightened dorms ran everywhere, and in an attempt to destroy the rats, King of Hearts accidentally hit the Queen on the head with a hammer, which hastily entered into the hands of March Hare, then the Hatter, and finally Alice. The Queen, of course, blames Alice for that, and will chop off her head. But Alice ate the mushrooms she bought earlier, which made her grow bigger. Although Regulation no. 42 said that anyone who is over a mile must leave the court immediately, Alice feels free to call the queen "fat, arrogant, and ugly old tyrant." Unfortunately, it then shrinks to its normal size, but runs away and is able to escape.
What is interesting is the fact that Queen of Hearts of Disney seems to be a merger of Queen's of books, the Duchess, and the Red Queen of Through The Looking Glass. When happy, he can be very fun, but still ruling and often impatient, and almost at once can turn into anger.
Because he is considered to be a member of the Disney Villains character group, the Queen of Hearts demanded his revenge on Alice in the Disney Revenge crime game where he stole the final page of the story. and change eventually, so Alice loses her head. Jiminy Cricket, the player, and headless body Alice took her head and escaped from the queen's labyrinth. They met for the last time in the last battle and he gave up. The Queen of Hearts is the latest boss in the Japanese version of Mickey Mousecapade , a 1987 video game in which Alice became his hostage. He is also a character that can be awarded at Walt Disney World Resort. At Mickey's House of Villains, Queen Seon Deok appears as one of the guest villains of the House of Mouse, voiced by Tress MacNeille. She also appeared on Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in in the House of Mouse.
The Queen appeared in the Square-Enix/Disney video game Kingdom Hearts, in her homeworld. As in the movie, she holds Alice in court, only this time to try to steal her heart. The main heroes in the game, Sora, Donald and Goofy, intervene, informing the Queen that Alice is innocent. The Queen challenges them to provide proof of their theory, and with the help of Cheshire Cat, all three are able to do so. The Queen, however, was angry for being proved wrong, ordering them executed and Alice jailed in a cage on the roof. All three are able to fight the Queen's guard and destroy the cage control, but Alice is kidnapped, before they can save her. The Queen orders a search for Alice, and temporarily forgives Sora, Donald and Goofy, asking that they search for Alice as well. He's back in Kingdom Kingdoms: Chain of Memories, just this time as a figment of Sora's memories. Again, he held Alice in court, this time for trying to steal his memory. In both games, Sora, Donald and Goofy prove Alice's innocence by beating Heartless Trickmaster, the real culprit. The Queen congratulates Sora for solving the mystery, and once again shows her bi-polar personality by forgiving Alice. She is not in Kingdom Hearts II, but appears in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days along with her homeworld. The digital version will appear in Kingdom Hearts coded .
American McGee's Alice
In the video game of American McGee's Alice, the Queen of Hearts is the last boss and the reason for Wonderland's decay. When Alice fights with her, she discovers that the Queen is the dark side - the manifestation of her madness; The queen must be destroyed for Alice to be sane once again. The Queen's appearance differs in American McGee's Alice from how she is in the book: she appears first as a faceless entity that has tentacles for arms, legs, and hair. This then reveals that this is a mere puppet and that the real Queen of Hearts is a monstrous monster in the image of a real anatomical heart. She is called both Queen of Hearts and Red Queen alternately throughout the game. No mention is made of Red Queen from "Through the Looking Glass." However, the White Queen is seen only for a moment, because his head is cut by the enemy at The Pale Realm. It was implied that after Alice was placed in asylum, the Red Queen and Queen of the Heart merged together which explains why the Queen of Hearts was able to control the red and card pieces at the same time.
In the sequel, Alice: Madness Returns , Queen of Hearts is sought by Alice for help in stopping the Infernal Train from tearing Wonderland and making her go crazy again. The Queen claims, when found in the ruins of the Red Kingdom, that Alice is manipulated by someone other than herself, that this person tries to erase her memory, especially about the fire in her childhood, which tears her sanity separately. Then it turns out that this guy is none other than Dr. psychiatrist. Angus Bumby, who has revealed to have raped Alice's sister, Lizzy, and set fire to a house with Lizzy and Alice's parents to cover up the crime, and that she's trying to erase Alice's memory and make her prostitution afterwards. In this sequel, the Red Queen has changed a lot, taking on the appearance of the younger Alice, only in a royal dress that matches the Queen of Hearts, with large fleshy claws rather than hands, and the lower part of her body composed of fleshy tentacles spreading throughout the entire castle, which is actually the body of the Queen itself. Some argue that he is not actually based on Alice himself, but his sister, as he also calls it "Lizzy" in the following dialogue, and considers him guilty of the death of his family, his subconscious possibly projecting his dead sister in the queen he killed own in the previous game.
War Search-Glass
In The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor, the dynasty ruling in Wonderland is the Heart's family. The title of Queen of Hearts is the hereditary title for the Queen of Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland is re-concepted as Queen Redd, the enemy and the tantra of the heroine, Alyss. He killed Alyss's parents and took over the throne of Wonderland.
It should be noted that the true Queen of Hearts in this story is Genevieve Heart, Alyss's mother as re-imagination of the White Queen. Alyss is, therefore, the Daughter of the Heart.
Alice in the Heartland
In the manga of Alice in the Country of Hearts, the Queen of Hearts is known as Vivaldi. She's not as much of a main character, and she has very little parts in the current book. Vivaldi ruled Heart Castle and fought with another region above Wonderland. She is beautiful with black hair, unlike other adaptations. He speaks in the great plural, I.E, "We're glad you're here to see us." As found through Heart no Kuni no Alice game by Quinrose (the predecessor to the manga) Blood Dupree (The Hatter) is Vivaldi's sister though alluded to being a romantic flower for Vivaldi until Alice finds the secret.
