I believe she is a foul tempered monarch that even the author Lewis Carroll himself describes her as "a blind fury”. Although on the other side, the Caterpillar is in different situations. He is just an animal that sits on a mushroom and ruling nothing, smokes a hookah, and treats Alice with contempt. Alice is the protagonist of the story, she doesn’t really like the Caterpillar, from the time they first meet, the Caterpillar does not immediately talk to her and when he does, it is usually in short. This indicates how both characters are hateful in the story between other characters, because of their attitude, but this even show how these two characters are differ in mostly everything in their lives.
