Who is the Mock Turtle from Alice in Wonderland?

`Have you seen the Mock Turtle yet?'`No,' said Alice. `I don't even know what a Mock Turtle is.'`It's the thing Mock Turtle Soup is made from,' said the Queen.`I never saw one, or heard of one,' said Alice.`Come on, then,' said the Queen, `and he shall tell you his history,'The Mock Turtle is a character from Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, who does not appear in the 1951 Disney adaptation.He appears in Chapter 9, the Mock Turtle's Story, where he seems to be a miserable character, always sobbing and sighing, but the Gryphon assures Alice that there is actually nothing wrong with him:It's all his fancy, that: he hasn't got no sorrow, you know.The Mock Turtle's name is a joke about a popular food of the time. The Victorians enjoyed turtle soup, but it was very expensive, so they made a fake turtle soup out of calf which was called mock turtle soup - 'mock' meaning 'fake'. Carroll was clearly amused by the idea of a 'mock turtle' being a real creature (in much the same way the Scottish people will occasionally joke about hunting for haggis.)

What does mock turtle soup have to do with Alice in Wonderland?

The Mock Turtle is a character in Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.He is named after mock turtle soup, which was very popular in England at the time the book was written. Turtle soup was considered a delicacy, but as turtle was too expensive for most people they made fake, or mock, turtle soup instead, usually from calf's head and offal.Carroll clearly found the idea that a mock turtle would be a real animal quite funny (in much the same way that Scottish people occasionally joke about hunting for wild haggis)
