Alice In Wonderland 2nd Hour The major themes of Alice in Wonderland are Identity, coming of age, and fantasy vs. reality. Throughout the book Alice goes through experiences and trials to find out who she is. Alice also questions what is true and why it is true. Lewis Carroll uses Alice in his story to explore the many things children have to learn as they grow up. Many times throughout the story Alice is asked, “Who are you'” just about ever character asks her that. “At last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice. Who are you'” (p.40) This question confuses Alice at first and them she answers: “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 been changed several times since then” (p.39) Alice for the first time has questioned who she is and why is she there. The caterpillar in the story is very rude to her and doesn’t want to hear her excuses.
