Dance Information

The White Rabbit is a fictional character in Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

He appears at the very beginning of the book, in chapter one, wearing a waistcoat, and muttering "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" Alice follows him down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.

The White Rabbit, a fictional character created by Lewis Carroll, plays a pivotal role in the classic novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". First introduced at the beginning of the story, the White Rabbit serves as the catalyst for Alice's journey into the whimsical and fantastical world down the rabbit hole.

Carroll's creation, published in 1865, has become an iconic symbol of Wonderland. The White Rabbit is characterized by his distinctive appearance, dressed in a waistcoat and carrying a pocket watch, constantly fretting about being late. This perpetual anxiety sets the narrative in motion as Alice follows him into a surreal realm filled with eccentric characters and nonsensical happenings.

Throughout the narrative, the White Rabbit reappears at various points, inadvertently guiding and influencing Alice's adventures. His significance goes beyond a mere plot device; he represents the unpredictable nature of Wonderland and adds an element of urgency to Alice's quest.
