By Lewis Carroll (1865)
Tea Party illustrated by Sir John Tenniel
(Source: Blogspot)
In this story we are still following Alice on her journey through her dreams. She comes to the Hatter's tea table uninvited. From the beginning none of them get along. This makes me think about unwelcome people and uncomfortable situations that we are something involved in. No one is really sure what to say or do in these situations.
They begin conversation by saying Alice is unwelcome and the hatter offering wine while all he has is tea. It's a very sarcastic scene. Everything is very confusing and uneasy. Clocks and time play a big role in the storyline.
The Hatter makes the comment that, "If you knew Time as well as I do,' said the Hatter, 'you wouldn't talk about wasting IT. It's HIM.'"
This causes more confusion among the characters and for the reader.
