The Allies then question whether or not she is ‘the right Alice,’ and finally agree that they must consult one of Alice’s Mentors, Absolem—better known as the smoking caterpillar. After their meeting with Absolem Alice continues along the path not totally sure where she is going. On the path, Alice runs into the Cheshire cat— who acts as the Shaper shifter in Alice’s story. Not only is he physically a shape-shifter, but he also acts like he is an ally but would sell out the allies to save himself. The Cheshire cat leads Alice to the Mad Hatter, who happens to be Alice’s

    Given Alice’s manipulative and cunning character, her comparison to a mythological hydra by Arden is particularly apt. Stemming from Greek mythology, the hydra is a venomous monster possessing nine heads and extremely difficult to kill. As Linebaugh and Rediker illuminate, “when Hercules lopped off one of the hydra’s heads, two new ones grew in its place” (2-3). Just as the hydra regrows its head when attacked, Alice exhibits increasing maliciousness when provoked. When questioned by Arden about her disloyalty early in the play, she deceitfully diverts her own indiscretion by accusing Arden of unwarranted mistrust, “Hast thou not lately found me over-kind?…

    By articulating that Alice has matured, Carroll gives us a sense of recovery in its own by showing that Alice has grown up, is healthy, and has her own children. Gilead says that the last pages of Alice in Wonderland “postulate that the adult can recapture childhood or that childhood innocence can persist in the adult’s storytelling imagination” (283) and I believe that this is exactly what Carroll meant to showcase in the last paragraph of his book.…
