Literary Significance

The phrase "Through the Looking Glass," as used in literature by world renowned author Lewis Carroll, can be viewed as a metaphor for any time the world suddenly appears unfamiliar, almost as if things were turned upside down - similar to looking out from inside the mirror to find a world both recognizable and yet.
