In the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts first demands Alice's execution just moments after having met her, as she thinks that she has been rude to her, but she is quickly disuaded by the King.

`And who are THESE?' said the Queen, pointing to the three gardeners who were lying round the rosetree; for, you see, as they were lying on their faces, and the pattern on their backs was the same as the rest of the pack, she could not tell whether they were gardeners, or soldiers, or courtiers, or three of her own children.

`How should I know?' said Alice, surprised at her own courage. `It's no business of MINE.'

The Queen turned crimson with fury, and, after glaring at her for a moment like a wild beast, screamed `Off with her head! Off--'

`Nonsense!' said Alice, very loudly and decidedly, and the Queen was silent.

The King laid his hand upon her arm, and timidly said `Consider, my dear: she is only a child!'

The Queen turned angrily away from him, and said to the Knave `Turn them over!'

The next time she orders Alice's decapitation is during the trial of the Knave of Hearts, as Alice is openly defiant towards her.

`No, no!' said the Queen. `Sentence first--verdict afterwards.'

`Stuff and nonsense!' said Alice loudly. `The idea of having the sentence first!'

`Hold your tongue!' said the Queen, turning purple.

`I won't!' said Alice.

`Off with her head!' the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.

`Who cares for you?' said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by this time.) `You're nothing but a pack of cards!'

In Disney's 1951 animated film, the Queen first attempts to order Alice's execution during the croquet game, when she mistakenly thinks that Alice has tripped her up, but the King persuades her that Alice ought to have a trial first. The queen spends the trial attempting to demand Alice's head be cut off, until Alice informs her that she is "a fat, pompous, bad tempered old tyrant," which inspires the Queen to cry, "off with her head!" several times.

In Alice in Wonderland who wanted to kill the Cheshire Cat?

In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the King of Hearts wants the Cheshire Cat to be removed from the croquet ground. He appeals to his wife, the Queen of Hearts, for help and she cries, "Off with his head!" without even looking. The King eagerly offers to fetch the executioner and rushes off to get him. So, the King and Queen of Hearts want to kill the Cheshire Cat, but the King moreso.`Well, it must be removed,' said the King very decidedly, and he called the Queen, who was passing at the moment, `My dear! I wish you would have this cat removed!'The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. `Off with his head!' she said, without even looking round.`I'll fetch the executioner myself,' said the King eagerly, and he hurried off.

What is the story behind vocaloid alic of human sacrifice?

In Alice of Human Sacrifice (Hitobashira Alice), there's a dream but it does not want to be forgotten so it gets unknowing victims to create its world. The first one, represented by Meiko, was red and she killed people. If she didn't kill anyone, nobody would even know she existed. Her sign was spades. The second Alice, Kaito, was a blue man who sang false notes. He was killed by a crazy person and as he died, everyone loved him because out his eye came a rose. He was a diamond. Miku, the third Alice, was green and she took the rose and put it in her ear, starting the thought that maybe she killed Kaito, and she was able to trick people to make her their queen of green country. But she had a bad dream only seeing rotted flesh and then she had the same fate as the first Alice. She was the clubs. Btw, the four alices happen all at the same time. The fourth Alice, Rin and Len, were two children and they were yellow. They were the closest to Alice's world. They go through all of the three Alice's world then have a tea party under a rose tree (where Kaito died). Then they wondered into the forest where the 1st Alice killed them. The twins were invited with the trump card of hearts.

Jam tomorrowThis expression which means 'the promise of better things which will never be fulfilled' derives from this exchange between Alice and the White Queen:`Come, you look rather better now!' she said, after altering most of the pins. `But really you should have a lady's maid!'`I'm sure I'll take you with pleasure!' the Queen said. `Twopence a week, and jam every other day.'Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, `I don't want you to hire me -- and I don't care for jam.'`It's very good jam,' said the Queen.`Well, I don't want any to-day, at any rate.'`You couldn't have it if you did want it,' the Queen said. `The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday -- but never jam to-day.'`It must come sometimes to "jam do-day,"' Alice objected.`No, it can't,' said the Queen. `It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know.'
