While she once felt certain of her identity, Alice's experiences in Wonderland have caused her to question herself. When she meets the caterpillar and he asks her who she is, she responds, “I--I hardly know sir, just at present--at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed at least several times since then” (Carroll 60). Her response shows that “Alice herself is uncertain if she is the little girl she has always known herself to be due to her bizarre external experiences” (Leach). Her lack of a definitive answer when asked who she is shows that “she is trying to find a consistent answer to this question the whole way through the story” (“Nature”). Alice seems to see that one's identity is not static.Works CitedCarroll, Lewis. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland . D.
