Mock Turtle soup...


The pun of the mock turtle is that it is half turtle and half calf. Mock turtle soup was a dish made in the Victorian period, which ties into the story thought the queen. The complicated pun then is both word and picture play. Mock turtle soup was made from parts of a calf that were generally discarded such as the head, hooves, tails, ect. The soup was actually imitation turtle meat, aka mock. The mock turtle in the story was just that half turtle, half calf. There is alot of singing in this book because it is a children's book. Carroll first wrote and read this book to children. The Lobsters in the quadrille served as dance partners to other animals, and were thrown out to sea. The Mock turtle sings about soup because Alice wanted to hear a song about him, and the Gryphon's wanted to hear him sing it too. Alice didn't want to be close to the duchess because she was ugly and creepy and would always rest her chin on alices shoulder. This scared alice. AABBBB
