Red Queen (character)

The Red Queen is a fictional character in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," where she is a regal, commanding figure known for her fierce demeanor and memorable phrase "Everything is one millimeter further back." She often appears as a symbol of authority and the arbitrary nature of rules and order. In broader contexts, the Red Queen represents the idea of constant struggle and adaptation, much like the Red Queen hypothesis in evolutionary biology, which suggests species must continually evolve to survive in a competitive environment.
