Read the excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

Answer 1

Answer: The white knight wants to protect Alice.

Explanation:

This is my answer because if you go back into the passage the white knight says " So you will, when you’ve crossed the next brook I’ll see you safe to the end of the wood and then I must go back, you know. That’s the end of my move." He is taking her to the end where he knows she is gonna be safe and then he is going to turn around and head back home once he knows she is safe.
