The Tone Is Whimsical, Absurd, And Humorous, With A Touch Of Mild Concern Displayed By Alice Regarding Her Own Status And The Safety Of The White Knight.

Alice witnesses a comical battle between the Red and White Knights, who both claim her as their prisoner. After the battle, the White Knight escorts Alice towards becoming a queen, sharing his whimsical inventions and ideas before parting ways. Alice finally reaches the eighth square and discovers she is now wearing a golden crown.

In this chapter, Alice is startled by the Red Knight, who claims her as a prisoner but is countered by the White Knight. A battle ensues, governed by bizarre rules and clumsy combat, resulting in both Knights falling off their horses. After a handshake, the Red Knight departs, and the White Knight vows to see Alice safely to the end of the wood, then details his odd inventions and strange thoughts. As they travel, Alice helps the Knight after his frequent tumbles from his horse, and he shares his peculiar song, 'A-Sitting On A Gate.' The chapter concludes with the Knight leaving, and Alice crossing the final brook, where she realizes she is wearing a golden crown and has become a queen.
