Where are you when end up in a magical world where nothing makes sense and reality has seemed to have disappeared? Alice could have fallen asleep and is currently in a dream or maybe rabbit holes are just portals that take you to strange places where animals talk. In chapter 5, Alice finds a Caterpillar smoking a hookah sitting on top of a mushroom. In my opinion, this is so random. It makes me wonder if the author dealt with drugs. Alice and the Caterpillar have a discussion about who she was. The Caterpillar asked the same question twice, "Who are you?". Alice could not answer this question because she kept changing throughout the beginning of the story from small to big and vice-versa. Her dilemma felt like a symbol of her stage where she leaves her child hood behind and begins her young adult life. Alice notices the Caterpillar is at a "VERY unpleasant state of mind" and seems to ignore what it has to say. This little outbreak felt like her trying to hold on to her childish ways a bit longer. In the end the Caterpillar leaves Alice with a choice where she must choose a side. She chooses both and is left with a problem or what I believe to be the first step in maturity.
You eat it.... you pay for it; in this case you eat both and end up with a serpent neck. :D
