Who Are You?
The Mouse
"Mine is a long and a sad tale."
Known For:
Swimming around in Alice's pool of tears. Boring a wet audience with a dry lecture about William the Conqueror.
Description:
A rather long tail and an intrinsic hatred of cats. Loves exercising authority over others. Easily offended.
Last Appearance:
Abruptly walking away in the middle of his tale because Alice has annoyed him.
Did You Know:
The text of the Mouse's tale is printed so that the words form the shape of the mouse's tail. This is an example of concrete poetry.
Alice repeatedly upsets the Mouse and other caucus race creatures when she talks about her cat Dinah, who is "such a capital one for catching mice." Alice Liddell, the girl who inspired Carroll's tale, was also fond of her family's two cats - one of which was named Dinah. |
