In chapter eight Alice stumbles across the garden of the Queen, she is confused because they are painting roses. The Queen comes out of the castle and sees Alice, she challenges Alice to a game of croquet. When they play the queen doesn't really know how to play, the let her win, but when she doesn't win she cuts the head off of the hole, the object used in croquet game all move. Queen Victoria was very ruthless, no one really liked her, and she showed no emotion. (Golf Resort Destinations. (n.d.). Retrieved April 26, 2016, from https://www.omnihotels.com/destinations/golf)
In the story they played croquet, in 2016 the game that is somewhat like croquet is golf, only rich people play because they are both very expensive sports and croquet was a very social game, but it was not very serious, just like golf. If you were to beat the queen in croquet she would kill you. Now people play golf, but you can't just show up they have to invite you. The queen invited/forced Alice to play croquet with her. In the story Queen of Hearts represents Queen Victoria. Queen of Hearts is very ruthless just as Queen Victoria was. They would order for someone to get their head cut off as soon as they did something they did not like. 
In the story the hole wasn't in the right spot so she ordered them to cut off his head. In Chapter Eight there are many archetypes like the rose tree, the people were painting the rose tree red. The archetype red represents passion, so that means that the queen must have been passionate about that rose tree. The people that were painting the tree had numbers as names, such as “Two” and “Seven”. The archetype two represents duality like the sun and moon, and the archetype seven represents perfection.
