Tiger Lily is a character from "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," an 1871 novel written by Lewis Carroll as a sequel to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." While the character Tiger Lily does not appear in "Through the Looking-Glass" but rather in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," the confusion might arise from the rich tapestry of characters and fantastical elements common to both books. In "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," Tiger Lily is one of the live flowers Alice encounters in the garden. She is depicted as a large, proud flower who speaks to Alice with a degree of disdain, reflecting the peculiar and often contrary nature of Wonderland's inhabitants. The character's interaction with Alice showcases Carroll's ability to imbue inanimate objects and nature with vibrant personality and agency, a hallmark of his storytelling technique that has captivated readers for generations.

The illustration of Tiger Lily, like those of many characters in the Alice books, was created by Sir John Tenniel, whose iconic images have largely defined the visual representation of Carroll's universe since their original publication. Tenniel's illustrations are celebrated for their detail, whimsy, and the way they capture the essence of Carroll's characters, contributing significantly to the enduring popularity and visual imagery of the Alice stories. The depiction of Tiger Lily and the other flowers in the garden scene is a testament to Tenniel's skill in bringing to life the imaginative world Carroll created, where flowers and animals speak and interact with the human protagonist in a dreamlike landscape.

Tiger Lily's role, though relatively brief, is part of the broader theme in Carroll's work that challenges and plays with the norms of the Victorian society in which he lived. Through the anthropomorphism of flowers and animals, Carroll explores ideas of identity, authority, and social structure, all while engaging in word play and logical puzzles that have delighted readers of all ages. The character of Tiger Lily, with her regal demeanor and interaction with Alice, contributes to the rich tapestry of Wonderland's inhabitants, offering insights into the complex, whimsical, and sometimes nonsensical world that lies beyond the looking glass.
