Who does the Red Queen represent in Alice in Wonderland?
In Through the Looking Glass, the Red Queen is a chess piece, come to life.
The action of the book mimics a chess game, in which Alice is a white pawn, so the Red Queen is on the opposing side.

The Red Queen must be cold and calm; she must be formal and strict, yet not unkindly; pedantic to the tenth degree, the concentrated essence of all governesses!
Comparing Edgar Allan Poe and Tim Burton writing style?
Both Edgar Allan Poe and Tim Burton are known for their dark, gothic themes and settings in their works. Poe's writing is characterized by his use of macabre imagery, psychological complexities, and introspective narratives, while Burton's works often feature eccentric characters, fantastical worlds, and a blend of whimsical and eerie elements. Both creators have a unique way of blending the beauty and darkness of the human experience in their writing.
What is the animal Alice is riding in Alice in Wonderland?
In the book, the White Rabbit is the first Wonderland animal that Alice sees, however she doesn't see him in Wonderland, but in the real world. She follows him into Wonderland, and just catches a glimpse of him as he hurries down a corridor, so he is also the first animal she sees in Wonderland.
The first animal she actually meets is the Mouse, who has fallen into the pool of tears along with Alice.
As to whether the animals are particularly strange is perhaps a matter of opinion. It is certainly strange for animals to have human characteristics, such as speech and clothing (and pocket watches), but the majority of animals Alice encounters are relatively normal - cats, dogs, birds etc.
After meeting the mouse, she meets a dodo, which could be described as strange as dodos are extinct. Towards the end of the book she meets a mythical animal, in the form of the Gryphon, and a fictional animal, created by Lewis Carroll, the Mock Turtle. They are definitely strange.
What is the Dormouse's name in Alice in Wonderland?
In the original book, the dormouse is called Dormouse, it has no other name.

Frabjous Day comes from Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky," featured in "Through the Looking Glass." In that poem, it is an expression of the father's joy that his son has killed the Jabberwock.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
In Tim Burton's 2010 movie, the Frabjous Day is the day that the fearsome Jabberwocky will be slain by someone wielding the Vorpal Sword.
The word "frabjous" itself is a conglomeration of "fair, fabulous, and joyous."
