The Caterpillar, Furzan A

Alice's trips in to wonderland have caused her to question her identity. The Caterpillar asks "who are you?" and Alice cannot give an answer to that. Although she seeks guidance from the Caterpillar, she finds only further self doubt. She does not heed to the Caterpillar’s authority, just as she did with the White Rabbit in the previous chapter. Alice’s confusion increases when the Caterpillar seems to be able to read her thoughts, answering her unspoken question “just as if she had asked it aloud.” Her identity is so confused now that her thoughts no longer seem to be her own. As the story continues a Pigeon mistakes her for a snake which further puts Alice in doubt of her identity.
