Alice In Wonderland

The croquet game resumes after the Cheshire Cat has vanished, and the Duchess takes Alice's arm. The two begin to walk, and Alice becomes irritated by the Duchess's near proximity to her. The Duchess uses every opportunity to teach Alice different moral lessons as they walk and speak. They come across the Queen, who tells the Duchess to leave and asks Alice to resume the croquet game.

The Queen quickly reduces the croquet game to Alice, the King, and herself. Many of the other characters have been sentenced to death. When there are no more soldiers to pose as arches, the Queen calls a halt to the game and orders Alice to pay a visit to the Mock Turtle. The Queen takes Alice to the Gryphon, who leads her to the Mock Turtle. The Gryphon explains to Alice on the way that the Queen never kills anyone. When Alice first sees the Mock Turtle, she is worried because he seems to be sad.

The Mock Turtle starts his story by revealing that he used to be a real turtle. Every day, he went to sea school, where his instructor was an elderly turtle called Tortoise. He then goes on to explain his education, which he claims is the best available. Reeling and Writing, as well as Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision, were among the peculiar subjects he studied. When Alice inquires about the duration of the lessons, the Mock Turtle responds that they've become shorter with each passing year. This perplexes Alice, but the Mock Turtle explains that they were given the name lessons because they "lessen." When Alice inquires about what happened when there wasn't enough time for classes, the Gryphon shifts the conversation to sports.

Alice comes across a Caterpillar who is smoking and sitting on top of a giant mushroom. "Who are you?" the Caterpillar asks Alice after they look at each other in silence for a moment. The Caterpillar summons Alice to read a poem when she decides to leave. The Caterpillar corrects her pronunciation of the poem and then asks what size she would like to be. The three-inch-tall Caterpillar is offended by Alice's comment that being three inches tall is a wretched height. The Caterpillar walks away after telling Alice that eating one side of the mushroom would make her grow bigger while eating the other will make her shrink.

Alice has regained her normal size and is wandering through the forest in search of the garden when she comes across a four-foot-tall tower. She plans to pay a visit to the house and consumes the mushroom part to minimize her height to nine inches.

The Mad Hatter and the March Hare are having tea at a large table set outside the March Hare's home with their elbows leaning on a sleeping Dormouse. They suggest there isn't enough space at the table for Alice, but she sits anyway. Alice is offered wine by the March Hare, but none is available. Alice accuses the March Hare of being impolite, to which he replies that she was impolite in sitting down without being invited.

When Alice criticizes him for his rudeness, he ignores her and answers with a riddle: "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" When Alice tries to solve the riddle, she learns that he doesn't know it either. She advises him not to waste time asking riddles for which there are no answers. Time is a "him," not an "it," the Mad Hatter states calmly. He goes on to say that Time has been agitated since the Queen of Hearts said the Mad Hatter was "murdering time" while performing a bad song. Since then, Time has remained set at six o'clock, indicating that they are still having tea. The March Hare gets bored with this conversation and says he'd like to hear a story, so they wake up the Dormouse. The Dormouse tells a story, and Alice interrupts it with so many questions that the Dormouse becomes offended. Alice keeps asking questions until the Mad Hatter insults her, at which point she storms off in disgust.

Alice comes across a tree with a door while walking through the woods. She returns to the great hall after entering the door. Alice goes to the table with the key and uses the mushroom to grow large enough to reach the key, then shrink small enough to fit through the door. She passes through the door and eventually reaches the garden passageway.

Alice is confronted by the White Rabbit, who is searching for his gloves and fan. Alice searches for it too but is unable to locate them. The White Rabbit misidentifies Alice as his housemaid, Mary Ann, and orders her to retrieve his belongings from his home. Alice is startled by the Rabbit's demands, but she obeys and quickly locates his home. She thinks about how odd it is to take orders from animals while she walks, and she imagines her cat Dinah ordering her around when she gets home. She discovers the gloves and fan inside the home, as well as a small bottle labeled "DRINK ME." Alice drinks the liquid, curious as to what the contents of the bottle would do. She begins to grow significantly before she can finish, and she can barely fit in the room.

Alice concludes that her adventures are akin to a fairy tale and dreams of one day writing her own tales. She reasoned that, with her new height, she had grown up and would never age. The White Rabbit asks for his fan and gloves, interrupting her line of thought. He attempts to break into the home, but Alice's gigantic arm keeps the door shut. The Rabbit attempts to climb through the window, but Alice deflects him with her enormous hand. When Alice swats them away again, the Rabbit summons his servant, Pat, and the two begin plotting a plan to deal with her. The Rabbit and Pat enlist the help of another servant, a lizard called Bill, to descend the chimney, but Alice sends him flying with her foot. Inside, a crowd assembled, calling for the house to be set on fire. They start throwing pebbles through the window at Alice's face after she tries to send Dinah to get them. The pebbles turn into cakes, and Alice eats one and shrinks, reasoning that the cakes could cause her to shrink. When she leaves the home, she is surrounded by a group of animals that are ready to attack her.

Alice flees into the woods, where she ponders how she can regain her usual size and locate the garden. She comes across a massive mushroom and climbs to the top, where she discovers a blue caterpillar.

Alice grows to nine feet tall after finishing the cake that says "EAT ME," and she can scarcely see through the doorway. She starts to weep, and a large pool of tears forms at her feet. The White Rabbit reappears, muttering something about a Duchess being kept waiting. When Alice tries to talk with him, he wanders away, leaving his gloves and fan behind. Alice takes the fan from the table and starts to fan herself.

She considers the possibility that she isn't Alice at all, but rather someone else entirely. She begins reciting her lessons to see if she knows anything Alice is supposed to know. She discovers that she is wrongly saying the recitations and considers the possibility that she is not Alice, but rather Mabel, a girl she knows. Given Mabel's lack of experience, Alice thinks her frustration about the lessons must mean that she has somehow morphed into Mabel.

Alice notices that the fanning motion shrinks her, so she fans herself down to a size that allows her to move through the door. Alice has lost the key once again, but before she can get angry, she falls into a pool of salt water. She initially believes she has sunk into the sea, but she soon discovers she is floating in her own tears. She meets a Mouse while swimming and asks for assistance. Since the Mouse doesn't understand Alice, she attempts to interact with him in French. She recites a line from one of her French lessons in which she inquires about a cat.

The Mouse jumps in terror at the mention of the cat. Alice apologizes but then wanders off to talk about her cat, Dinah. The Mouse is annoyed, so she moves the topic to dogs. The mention of dogs frightens the Mouse even more, and he starts swimming away. Alice promises to stop speaking about cats and dogs. The Mouse swims back to Alice, advising her to follow him to the shore, where he can justify his hatred for cats and dogs by narrating his past. They swim to shore with other creatures that have sunk into the lake, including a Duck, a Dodo, a Lory, and an Eaglet.
