Best Answer

In the story Alice in Wonderland, the Caterpillar is the first character who really makes an effort to guide Alice on her journey. Some people say the Caterpillar represents the adult view of a child. Other people think this was just a story Carroll made up for the amusement of the daughters of some friends.

The Caterpillar is smoking a hookah or hookah pipe.

A hookah is a pipe with a long flexible tube connected to a container in which the smoke is cooled by being passed through water. They are also known as shishas or hubbly-bubblies.

A hookah is commonly filled with some form of tobacco.

In the 1951 Disney movie, the Caterpillar recites the poem 'How Doth The Little Crocodile':

How doth the little crocodile improve his shining tail,

And pour the waters of the Nile on every golden scale

How cheerfully he seems to grin, how neatly spreads his claws,

And welcomes little fishes in with gently smiling jaws

In the original book, the Caterpillar doesn't say the rhyme but Alice recites it while she is stuck in the corridor of doors. She tells the Caterpillar about it when she meets him.

"Who are you?" is the question that the Caterpillar famously asks Alice when they first meet in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.

`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'

Yes

She stretched herself up on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge of the mushroom, and her eyes immediately met those of a large blue caterpillar, that was sitting on the top with its arms folded, quietly smoking a long hookah, and taking not the smallest notice of her or of anything else.

Why do people like Alice in Wonderland?

It all started in Oxford, England in a boat beneath a sunny sky where echoes fade and memories die. Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), Reverend Duckworth, Alice Liddell (The Real Alice), Lorina Liddell, and Edith Liddell were all in that boat that famous day. Lewis was telling the three little girls of a marvelous place called Wonderland and Alice loved the stories so much that she asked him to give it to her as a book. So Lewis set to work and gave it to her for Christmas. Later his friend George Macdonald had his children read the story and they told Lewis to publish it. Thus the story was born on a boat. I suggest you read "Still She Haunts Me" it'll explain every detail of why the Wonderland was made.


Why did Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland get a bad review?

Critics have differing opinions on nearly everything, but most of the complaints about Alice in Wonderland are a disjointed script/story. Several critics have commented on the stunning quality of the visual effects but also noted that the film is "forgettable". Also some scenes in the movie were quite peculiar and could not be understood which also made critics hesitant to give the film a good review.
