Need help with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland paper

i need help with a paper i'm working on. here's the prompt:

In this essay, you will pose an analytical question regardin a character, theme, or plot point in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or Through The Looking Glass. Your analysis should be performed through a close reading of the text and your response to it. Consider questions that lie beneath the surface of the novel. In analyzing text, you should look past what happened and try to discover why.

any starters for this? to be honest with you, i read the book awhile back and don't remember most of it.

That could go a long way, because there are many possible interpretations of those books. You could just consider Lewis Carroll's word play and relate that to mathematics. Some people have looked at it from the author's feelings toward his niece. You might want to reread part of one of those and see what you can make of it.
