List of minor characters in the Alice series
This is a list of the minor characters in Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its 1871 sequel, Through the Looking-Glass.
The copious amounts of pepper (which alludes to a quick temper) she uses in her soup cause Alice, the Duchess, and her son to sneeze incessantly.
Her fury at being disrupted during her cooking is made clear when she throws various pots and pans, aiming to hit both Alice and the baby.
She makes another brief appearance as a key witness at the Queen of Hearts's trial, where she claims that the stolen tarts were made with pepper.
The Eaglet, the Lory, the Duck, and the Dodo are characters appearing in chapters two and three of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Carroll incorporated references in his works to a group of his friends present on a boating outing on the River Thames which occurred on 4 July 1862.
According to The Annotated Alice, Carroll had originally had the characters dry off by having the Dodo lead them to a nearby house for towels.
Carroll ultimately replaced this scene in the book with the "Caucus race", as he felt that the original story would have been funny only to the people familiar with the incident.
As the Cheshire Cat floats away with Hatter's hat, the Executioner looks as shocked as other inhabitants of the Red Queen's court.
In Tim Burton's 2010 remake of Alice in Wonderland, the Red Queen has a Fish Footman working in her castle as a butler.
Both the Frog Footmen and the Fish Footman have been shown in a featurette for Tim Burton's adaptation, which premiered March 5, 2010.
A gentleman fish appears in the sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass, voiced by Edward Petherbridge.
A delivery frog appears in the sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass, voiced by Owain Rhys Davies.
The Duchess then goes on to sing "Speak Roughly to your little boy", shaking the baby wildly and adding to the already chaotic scene in the house.
They appear in the video game, American McGee's Alice where they carry axes and bow guns.
In the novel The Looking Glass Wars, they appear as robots with their outer layer shaped as cards and spears.
The Hatter and the Hare also reappear as messengers for the White King, renamed Hatta and Haigha, "one to come, and one to go".
[2][3] Kitty is Dinah's black kitten and a character of the Lewis Carroll's novel Through The Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.
Snowdrop is Dinah's white kitten and a character of Lewis Carroll's novel Through The Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.
The flowers Alice meet include a tiger-lily, a rose, a iris, pansies, tulips, lilac, daffodils, sunflowers, dandelions, daisies, a violet, blue bonnets, sweet peas, thistle, calla and lilies of the valley, morning glories, lazy daisies, and a larkspur.
The rose tells her there is another flower that can move like her and looks like her but that she is redder, her petals are shorter, and she wears her thorns on her head.
[4] While taking a train across the third square, Alice encounters several passengers, including a man dressed entirely in white paper, a goat, a horse with a cold, a beetle, and the Gnat (see below).
He only appears within the poem, Haddocks' Eyes that the White Knight recites to Alice in chapter VIII.
According to the poem, the Knight met the Aged Man sitting atop a gate in a field and questioned him as to his profession.
The Man responds with a long list of absurd occupations, including making waistcoat buttons from the eyes of haddocks and digging for buttered rolls.
The last stanza closes by describing him as: ...that old man I used to know— Whose look was mild, whose speech was slow Whose hair was whiter than the snow, Whose face was very like a crow, With eyes, like cinders, all aglow, Who seemed distracted with his woe, Who rocked his body to and fro, And muttered mumblingly and low, As if his mouth were full of dough...
In the manga Pandora Hearts, which is basically saturated with references to the books, there is a Chain that bears a resemblance to the Rocking-Horse Fly.
'In the 2010 adaptation, the Snap-Dragonfly's body, head, and tail are those of a dragon with antennae resembling long and thin horns; therefore, its name and form is a pun on 'dragon' from dragonfly.
During the train ride, Alice hears the Gnat mentioning topics he believes would make good jokes.
Though he doesn't make an appearance in the 1999 film, he was mentioned in the second verse of 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat,' when the Mad Hatter was recognized by the Queen of Hearts.
