In Lewis Carroll's novel Alice in Wonderland, Alice is curious, well-mannered, and confused while she tries to find her way out of Wonderland. She perfectly portrays many young girls as well-mannered, yet inquisitive and often emotional and unsure. But throughout her journey, Alice meets many unique and unusual creatures which eventually help her escape wonderland.
Alice shows that she is curious through her actions. At the beginning of the book Alice gets distracted from her "boring" work, and chases a white rabbit down a hole. Alice's curiosity is presented: "Alice started to her feet, for it flashed in her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket". When Alice is at the bottom of the hole she finds a bottle labeled "Drink Me." She is eager to discover what it tastes like, and "...this bottle was not marked 'poison'," so Alice ventured to taste it, finding it to be "very nice"...
