  1. The Cheshire Cat he is wicked, he is and he is a cat and he dissapears and reappears and he smiles a lot and that's enough reasons to love him
  2. The Caterpillar prentendly endorsing drugs the Caterpillar is actually high on his own shallowness and not on illegal substances and is therefore one of the most enduring caricatures of the kind of abusive people society creates
  3. The Dormouse gets abused by his two demented tea partners but he escapes mostly unharmed because he is the only one to know reality is but a figment of his dreams
  4. The Mock Turtle ah, beyond the pun about turtle soup, this crying fellow is representing the lower classes who complain but would be lost if the system did change
  5. Tweedledee and Tweedledum twins are weird and sometimes creepy and these are simply farcical in their inept way of doing anything apart from their daily routine
  6. The Flowers all female, all quite old, all very critical of Alice's youth and beauty, all trying to hold on to a past long gone, everyone knows bitter old ladies like these
  7. Red King Through the looking glass's answer to the Dormouse, this one is more clearly credited as the creative mind behind it all
