What is the meaning of the Dodo in Alice in Wonderland?

The Dodo represents Lewis Carroll. Because of his stammer, he would pronounce his real name do-do-dodgson. The Dodo, the Duck, the Lory and the Eaglet all represent the original group who went on the rowing trip where Carroll first told the Alice story. The Duck is Robinson Duckworth, a friend of Carroll's, and the Lory and the Eaglet represent Lorina and Edith, Alice's sisters. 'The other curious creatures' were probably Carroll's sisters, Fanny and Elizabeth, and his Aunt Lucy Lutwidge. A few weeks before the famous rowing trip, these seven people, plus Alice Liddell of course, had been on another outing during which it rained very heavily and everybody got soaked. They were forced to dry off at a friend's house. This episode was referred to in the original Alice story, but was edited out of the final published book, as it was thought the incident would not be interesting to anyone who wasn't there. Years later Carroll sent Duckworth a copy of his book with an inscription, 'To the Duck from the Dodo'.
