Throughout Alice in Wonderland, Alice goes through multiple changes that change the way she views herself and the world, such as drastically changing size. She, of course, finds this very confusing and unusual, and holds these opinions up to the point where she meets the caterpillar in Chapter v. Advice from a Caterpillar. Here, she is confronted by someone, the Caterpillar, who believes that nothing she says it out of the ordinary, and that there is nothing wrong with her situation. It’s at this point that we can see the differences in mindsets of various people can change how we view our identity, as we see if the Caterpillar had been going through the same changes he would’ve felt no significant change in his identity.
“‘Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet,’ said Alice; ‘but when you have to turn into a chrysalis—you will some day, you know—and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you’ll feel it a little queer, won’t you?’
‘Not a bit,’ said the Caterpillar.
‘Well, perhaps your feelings may be different,’ said Alice; ‘all I know is, it would feel very queer to me.’”
This shows the influence of how we feel about different things on how we view our identity, and the identity of others.
