Answer 2

Tweedledum and Tweedledee are characters in Lewis Carroll's book Through the Looking Glass. They are described as being brothers, and Tenniel illustrated them so that they looked identical to each other. Follow the Related Link below to see one of Tenniel's illustrations of them.

They were originally from a well known nursery rhyme which Alice recalls when she meets them:

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.

They also feature in the 1951 Disney film, Alice in Wonderland, despite the fact that they didn't appear in the original book, but in its sequel.

Answer 3

In the book, Through the Looking Glass, Tweedledum and Tweedledee see the Monstrous Crow from the poem Alice remembers when she meets them.

"`Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Agreed to have a battle;

For Tweedledum said Tweedledee

Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,

As black as a tar-barrel;

Which frightened both the heroes so,

They quite forgot their quarrel.'"

"It was getting dark so suddenly that Alice thought there must be a thunderstorm coming on. `What a thick black cloud that is!' she said. `And how fast it comes! Why, I do believe it's got wings!'

`It's the crow!' Tweedledum cried out in a shrill voice of alarm: and the two brothers took to their heels and were out of sight in a moment."
