Cheshire
Cat is one of the most endearing characters in
“Alice in Wonderland”. He is
wise but very cheeky. He teaches Alice the ‘rules’
of Wonderland and gives her insight in how things work over
there. His owner is the Duchess.
The Cheshire Cat
has always a huge grin on his face and he can appear from
anywhere and disappear into thin air. Most extraordinary
thing, when he decides to vanish slowly, is that the last
thing that can be seen after him is his big grin.
This is what Alice
comments about the Cheshire Cat:
“I’ve
often seen a cat without a grin, but a grin without a cat!
It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!”
