The cook's predeliction for pepper is never explained in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but some critics think it might be a reference to the habit of lower class Victorians of putting excessive amounts of pepper in their cooking to disguise the low quality or lack of freshness of the meat used in their dishes.

The cook's obsession with pepper in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is whimsical and part of the story's nonsensical and fantastical elements. It adds to the chaotic and unpredictable nature of Wonderland, where ordinary things are exaggerated or distorted to create a sense of surrealism and absurdity.

Is Alice from Alice in Wonderland royalty?

No. Alice is not royalty. At least, there is no mention in either of the books to suggest that she is, so it is reasonable to assume that she isn't. In Chapter 9 of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice decides that "When I'm a Duchess...I won't have any pepper in my kitchen at all." (But she doesn't say it in a very hopeful tone) From this it can be inferred that her current rank is certainly below that of Duchess and that she is probably a commoner.

Is there a house in Alice in Wonderland?

In the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice visits three houses; the White Rabbit's house, the Duchess' house and the March Hare's House. The March Hare's house is where the mad tea party is being held, but as it is set out on the front lawn, Alice doesn't actually enter the house at all. The White Rabbit's house is where she grows and becomes stuck, and the Duchess' house is the one full of pepper which makes her sneeze. In the 1951 Disney version she visits the Hare and Rabbit's houses, as in the book, but doesn't visit the Duchess'.

-the rabbit hole Alice initially goes down symbolizes stairs at the back of Oxford College's main hall.
