Alice in Wonderland

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to "Alice in Wonderland") and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There ("Through the Looking-Glass") are 1865 and 1871 novels written by the English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. A number of references to these two stories exist in the 2002 film, Resident Evil.

The White Rabbit
There exist two references to the White Rabbit in the film. The first and most obvious is the presence of a literal white rabbit in the film. It is seen in a flashback scene by Alice as she walks through The Hive, where it is being infected with the t-Virus and subsequently given the "Anti-Virus".

Chad Kaplan is also considered to be a reference to the White Rabbit, being preoccupied with time like the Wonderland character.

The Looking Glass House
The Arklay mansion references Through the Looking-Glass at the start of the film. In it, the Umbrella commandos gain entry to the subway station by revealing a secret passage located behind a large mirror.
